Take a pack of paper towels to the toilet and tear a piece of toilet paper to wipe your mouth. Do you often do this?
Toilet paper and toilet paper look very similar, both are white soft tissues! Maybe you will say, what's strange about this? My life doesn't need to be so detailed. However, what Bian Xiao wants to say is that toilet paper is very different from toilet paper. Once used wrongly, it may be "paper disease" over time! Next, let's look at Bian Xiao and see why.
Toilet paper: commonly known as' toilet paper', it is mainly used after going to the toilet. It is easier to decompose when it meets water and will not block the toilet; The standard of toilet paper is GB/T208 10-2006, and the total number of colonies required for toilet paper is ≤ 600 cfu/g. ..
Tissue paper: Tissue paper includes daily handkerchief paper, facial tissue paper, napkin paper, etc. Positioning is to clean the face and hands, which requires a certain wet strength, otherwise it is easy to produce paper scraps when wiping sweat.
The national standard of household paper is GB/T20808-20 1 1. Compared with toilet paper, the hygienic standard requires that the total number of bacterial colonies on toilet paper is ≤200cfu/g, and the total number of fungal colonies is ≤100 cfu/g. It also stipulates the total number of fungal colonies (toilet paper does not limit the total number of fungal colonies). This is much stricter than the "total number of colonies ≤600cfu/g" required by toilet paper.
In addition, the materials of toilet paper and tissue paper are also different. According to the regulations:
Household paper: only "virgin pulp paper" can be used as raw material. Raw pulp paper uses the first kind of pulp, without any external printing pollution, so it is the best;
Toilet paper: The requirement is "pure wood pulp paper". "Pure wood pulp paper" is a vague concept. Pure wood pulp paper may be "virgin pulp paper" or "recycled paper". Some manufacturers deliberately describe recycled paper as pure wood pulp paper in order to blur the concept. There are also some manufacturers who think that using recycled paper as toilet paper is not white enough, and often use more fluorescent whitening agents to whiten it, and also use talcum powder because the fiber of recycled paper is uneven.
If you use inferior toilet paper for a long time, or use toilet paper as a paper towel, there are potential safety hazards. Because the raw material of inferior toilet paper is recycled paper, the raw material itself has been polluted and contains a lot of bacteria, heavy metals and fungi. In addition, the disinfection facilities in the workshop for producing toilet paper are limited, and some bacteria that must be sterilized through strict disinfection procedures still remain in the paper towels. If such a paper towel is used as a napkin, it is easy to put a lot of bleach and toxic substances or bacteria in the paper towel on your mouth and eat it in your stomach, which is harmful to your health.
First, it can cause typhoid fever, dysentery and other diseases, and some may also carry hepatitis germs.
Second, a large amount of dust enters the human respiratory tract, causing irritation to the respiratory tract.
Third, skin irritation leads to skin allergy.
Buying paper towels is also learned. To buy paper towels, we must first understand these four points:
First, the same brand of paper towels, choose expensive or cheap?
For example, two kinds of facial tissues with the same packaging, one for discount promotion and the other for original price sale, which one do you choose? I believe that 90% of people will choose discounted goods without hesitation. By carefully comparing the two packages of paper towels, you can find the answer in the corner of the package: one package of paper towels is qualified in quality grade, and the other package is first-class.
In fact, facial tissues are divided into three grades: first-class products, first-class products and qualified products. Their softness, water absorption and toughness are different. First-class products are the best, followed by first-class products, and qualified products are the worst. Many indicators of qualified products can't even reach half of the first-class products, so the price is naturally cheaper.
2. Is 100% virgin wood pulp the same as100% pure wood pulp?
Although primary wood pulp and pure wood pulp sound little different, their concepts are completely different. Just like the Health Times WeChat Bian Xiao just popularized science, the original wood pulp paper used new raw materials, while the pure wood pulp paper may be mixed with recycled or reused second-hand raw materials. The cheaper the paper, the worse the disinfection environment. If it is made of recycled paper, the quality can be imagined.
3. Can scented and printed paper towels be used?
If you just wipe your hands and sweat, printing and scented paper towels have little effect on your body.
But if it is used to wipe your mouth, the original paper towel is the best, because any "pattern" is added later. Poor quality printing paper or perfume paper, its ink and essence are easy to attach to your mouth, and then sneak into the human body to destroy the immune system and endocrine system, affecting your health.
Fourth, the whiter the paper towel, the better the quality?
Normal paper towel colors should be ivory white and natural white. If the paper towel you bought is white, it is the result of adding too much fluorescent agent. Using unqualified paper towels can lead to itchy skin and serious skin diseases.
To identify whether the paper towel contains fluorescent agent, you can irradiate the paper towel with a money detector. If the paper towel is blue-purple, it is usually due to the addition of excessive fluorescent agent. Please stop using it immediately.
Life tips: how to buy high-quality paper towels?
1, feel: Good paper towels have high wood pulp content, delicate and soft feel, and are not easy to lose powder and hair. Bad paper towels are hard and loose, and it is easy to lose powder and hair.
2, specific toughness: holding a piece of raw wood pulp paper towel in your hand, pulling a little hard, the paper towel will have wrinkles, but it will not break. And bad paper towels, because of low wood pulp content and poor elasticity, are broken with a little force.
3. Observe the burning situation: the paper ash of the paper towel with excessive fluorescent agent is white or black after burning, while the normal and qualified paper towel is natural gray after burning.
4. Test the soaking state: Good cotton paper has high density and toughness, and will not be deformed or loose even if it is soaked in water.
Buy tissues in the future. It is suggested to choose a suitable paper towel according to your own use. Don't wipe your mouth with PP wipes. It's not worth damaging your health. After eating out, you should also pay attention to whether the paper towels provided by the store are hygienic. Don't wipe your mouth with paper without hygienic standards. You'd better carry a pack of tissues with you.
