One: What are the hidden dangers in the kitchen?
1. commander (commanding officer)
Studies have confirmed that carbon monoxide in the kitchen is one of the main pollutants in the kitchen air, which mainly comes from insufficient combustion of fuel and cooking fumes. The monitoring of carbon monoxide concentration in kitchens of some universities, large hotels and hotels shows that most kitchens exceed the standard, the most serious of which exceeds the standard by 19.5 times.
2. Plastic packaging
Hidden crisis: releasing toxic substances
The problem that plastic wrap affects health has been concerned for a long time. As it turns out, plastic wrap does release toxic chemicals into food, especially when heated in the microwave oven. Some experts say that plastic wrap will produce a product called what? Exogenous estrogen? Material, it will affect people's endocrine, and then lead to fertility problems. But some experts think that the amount of plastic wrap produced is very small? Exogenous estrogen? Will not affect our health. Nowadays, the division of plastic wrap used at home is getting finer and finer. When choosing plastic wrap, you can choose it according to the purpose. For example, if you want to use it in a microwave oven, you must choose plastic wrap as a mark? Suitable for microwave ovens? Products.
3. Microwave oven
Hidden crisis: producing radiation
We have all heard that the microwave oven will generate radiation waves when it works, which will affect the normal development of the fetus. The working principle of microwave oven is to generate heat through electromagnetic radiation waves, which stimulates water molecules in food to become active quickly, thus achieving the purpose of heating. If this electromagnetic radiation reaches a certain amount, it does have a bad influence on our health.
However, as long as the microwave ovens produced by big brands usually work normally, their electromagnetic radiation will not reach enough to cause adverse effects. Of course, it is prudent for pregnant women not to use the microwave oven too often. It should be noted that the food cooked in the microwave oven has no radiation. The radiation will stop as long as the microwave oven stops working. Don't worry about food Pollution? .
4. lampblack
Cooking oil fume will make the chef's skin greasy, and unpleasant oil fume will be attached to his hair and clothes. The harm of lampblack goes far beyond this. Soot can increase the risk of lung cancer, and it is also related to diabetes, heart disease and obesity.
Oil will undergo many chemical changes at high temperature, and lampblack is one of the worst products of these changes. Each oil product has its own smoke point, that is, the temperature at which obvious smoke begins. In the past, the crude oil with dim color used by people often began to smoke above 130 degrees. According to the habits of most families, when the oil obviously smokes before putting food, the cooking temperature will be between 200~300℃. The lampblack produced at this temperature contains many harmful substances, including acrolein, benzene, formaldehyde and crotonaldehyde. , are toxic substances and suspected cancer.
Two: the danger of kitchen fire
1. More fuel?
? The kitchen is a place where operations are carried out with open flames. The fuels used are generally liquefied petroleum gas, coal gas, natural gas, carbon and so on. If the operation is improper, it is easy to cause leakage, burning and explosion.
2. Heavy oil fume
The kitchen has been dealing with coal and gas fires for many years, and the local environment is generally humid. Under this condition, the uneven combustion products produced in the process of fuel combustion and the lampblack produced by oil and gas evaporation are easy to accumulate, forming a certain thickness of combustible oil layer and powder layer attached to the walls, flues and the surfaces of range hoods. If it is not cleaned in time, it may cause oil smoke fire. ?
3. There are great hidden dangers in the electrical circuit.
The use space of the kitchen is generally compact, and there are many types of large kitchen equipment. Fire-fighting and electrical equipment are interconnected, and all kinds of wires, cables and patch panels are in disorder, which is easy to connect and strike a fire. ?
4. Improper use of oil will lead to fire.
Kitchen oil can be roughly divided into two types, one is fuel oil and the other is edible oil. In some places, diesel oil is placed next to the flue, and the fire in the flue will also cause diesel oil to catch fire. Edible oil mainly refers to the oil used to cook food in an oil pan. Because the oil temperature is too high or improper operation, it is common that hot oil overflows the oil pan and contacts the fire source. If put out improperly, it will cause a fire.
Three: How to install the kitchen more safely?
Besides paying attention to the installation and quality of circuit kitchenware, the kitchen can also be equipped with smoke alarms. The kitchen is the easiest place to catch fire at home, and the kitchen utensils are more powerful. In case of a fire caused by a circuit problem, the alarm will give an alarm in time, so that people in the house can find it in time and take measures to ensure life safety.
At present, natural gas is widely used in kitchens. Although the overall safety level has been greatly improved, it is also very troublesome to deal with the pipeline that is not in place. For the use of domestic natural gas, there are relevant regulations, so we must choose qualified products instead of other unqualified substitutes, which needs attention.
The circuit in the kitchen is also a place prone to safety problems. We must carry out scientific and reasonable design and choose the socket with protective cover to avoid problems during cleaning. In addition to the necessary sockets, there should be no extra sockets in the kitchen, which is also easy to cause problems.
For the decoration of the kitchen, I suggest giving priority to safety. Although the kitchen is small in space, it should be planned according to the actual situation of your home. After all, what suits your home is the most suitable. I believe that after reading what I said, you have a certain understanding of the hidden dangers in the kitchen. For our health and safety, we must pay attention to these.
