A cat should always have access to grass. You can but trays of grass seeds at the pet shop. All you need do is water it for a few days and the grass will grow. Your cat will eat the grass which makes it sick and the hairball will come up easily. (My cat eats my spider plant but the out- come is the same.)
Another alternative is to buy anti hairball pills("Whiskas"). They are malt based and the cat should have about 10 a day. This doesn't make the cat sick but allows the hairball to pass through the intestines and comes out with the poo. Pills also available at pet shops.
There's also special dried cat food for "city cats" who probably can't get to grass or plants as easily as country cats. This cat food also stops hairballs forming. In Spain the brand is "Friskies"

Exposure to cat feces can cause the disease toxoplasmosis, but this disease is extremely, extremely rare among indoors-only cats. So there is no need to worry about toxoplasmosis if your cats are indoors-only cats.
Cat urine is not harmful to your health. It contains ammonia, and ammonia fumes are very harsh and noxious. People think that since it has such an overpowering smell, it must be harmful to your health, but this is an erroneous assumption.
Many cat litters, especially the classic clay kind, are filled with harmful toxins. When you pour the fresh litter into the box, or dig around in it vigorously, or the cat digs around, some of it breaks up and floats up into the air, and you inhale it. So you want to avoid breathing it in as much as possible. Using a covered litter box is also a good idea.
But obviously, the problem is not the urine or feces, but the litter. And you don't HAVE to use clay litter. They are many, many different types, like the crystal kind (which may not be less harmful, but is much less dusty). There are even "organic" brands made with all-natural ingredients.
