Why does such a terrible disease always find its way to children? What are the disease-causing factors around us?
As a parent, you may not know that a pen that your child usually uses is likely to bring leukemia to your child!
Girls benzene poisoning, the culprit is ......This is not the summer vacation, Ms. Yang see the child recently write holiday homework is very serious, but also specially with the child bought a few new ballpoint pen, so that the child to do more practice.
When choosing a ballpoint pen, her daughter selected a few scented ones, and Ms. Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with them, thinking that children like to look good and smell good.
But after returning home, the child in the room to write homework, Ms. Yang walked into a pungent smell, close to a sniff to know that the original is today to buy the child's ballpoint pen flavor. Ms. Yang felt from experience that this smell is not a good smell, and advised the child to stop using it, but the child just do not want to. Ms. Yang had no choice but to compromise.
After a period of time, the child often said nausea, even the amount of food is reduced, Ms. Yang thought the child is gastrointestinal discomfort, so the child took some gastrointestinal medication, the symptoms of some of the easing of the symptoms, and then did not pay attention to it.
Shortly after, her daughter suddenly fainted when she was doing her homework at home, and after she was sent to the hospital, Ms. Yang was told that her child was suffering from chronic benzene poisoning.
The doctor's reminder made Ms. Yang suddenly think of those scented ballpoint pens her child was using. In order to solve the problem, Ms. Yang told the doctor about her child's use of scented ballpoint pens.
The doctor understood after listening, he told Ms. Yang, many children admitted to the hospital with benzene poisoning, the cause of which is to inhale some of the scented stationery in the fragrance and poor quality chemical spices, which contains benzene and formaldehyde, etc.; long-term use of this kind of scented stationery, will cause the child chronic benzene poisoning, causing damage to the hematopoietic and immune functions, and may even lead to leukemia.
Benzene poisoning, the original so terribleBenzene, is a colorless, sweet-tasting, aromatic smell of transparent liquid at room temperature, is the basic raw material for petrochemicals. However, benzene is also highly toxic and is a strong hazardous substance!
Doctors from the hospital's Department of Dermatology and Department of Hematology said:
Benzene, which can damage a child's skin and upper respiratory tract, can cause dry, flaky skin and even allergic eczema with long-term exposure.
Long-term inhalation of a certain concentration of benzene can cause chronic benzene poisoning, mildly like Ms. Yang's daughter, dizziness, headache, nausea, weakness.
In severe cases, it can cause nerve damage, leading to spasms and convulsions;
It can also cause blood lesions, leading to a decrease in white blood cells and platelets, and even leukemia!
A few unscrupulous stationery manufacturers add benzene to the manufacture of ballpoint pens in order to make the refills smoother and less smudgy to achieve this purpose! The pungent scent of ballpoint pens is also basically given off by poor quality chemical fragrances.
In terms of testing by the relevant organizations, poor quality ballpoint pens are more likely to contain benzene, and unisex pens are much better.
So, when parents pick a pen for their children, try to focus on fountain pens and neutral pens first.
Schoolbags, also containing benzene "disaster area"
After the new semester issued new textbooks, children will buy a few beautiful plastic schoolbags, to protect their textbooks. Green plastic book cover, printed with a variety of cartoon patterns, very popular with children.
But a father who has been engaged in product testing for many years, with many years of work experience, keenly aware of the children commonly used in this plastic wrap, there is definitely a big problem.
He randomly purchased many kinds of school wraps on the market and sent them to an authoritative institution for testing, and the test results were eye-opening:
All of the samples sent for testing were found to contain different levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and plasticizers (phthalates)! These are very powerful harmful, teratogenic substances!
The father then called several manufacturers to ask if he could buy environmentally friendly, non-toxic book covers, only to have the owners hang up when they heard the other side's intentions.
So, after the children were issued new textbooks, parents are advised to find some paper and manually wrap the books with their children, and after wrapping them, they can also draw on them, which not only exercises the children's hands, but also enhances the parent-child relationship.
The following stationery, can not be careless
Workbook
Part of the paper company in order to make the paper looks more white, more beautiful, will add fluorescent whitening agent in the papermaking process.
While some experts believe that the amount of fluorescent agent that meets the standard is not harmful, but there are also people who hold a different attitude, they believe that fluorescent whitening agent is a kind of chemical material that is difficult to decompose, and with long-term exposure, it will be accumulated in the body, and will cause adverse effects on the liver, kidneys and blood.
So, for the sake of children's health, when choosing a workbook for your child, you should give preference to paper with a soft color and a little yellowish, because too white and too bright paper contains a greater chance of fluorescent agent.
Scented erasers
Brightly colored, scented erasers, the situation is similar to the "floating ballpoint pen", there may be toxic substances volatile situation. So, it's okay to buy a regular eraser for your child.
Correction fluid
Once you open the lid of the correction fluid, a pungent odor has come to your nose. In fact, as early as 2014, the "315 Evening Party" issued a warning to parents to use correction fluid.
Correction fluid contains lead, benzene, barium and other chemicals that are harmful to the human body, and if inhaled or stained on the skin, it may cause chronic poisoning, damage to the liver, kidneys, nerves and blood.
So for correction fluid, adults should be careful to use, the child is best not to use.
Lastly, there is another stationery that needs to draw parents' attention, which is the pencil.
The main ingredient of pencil lead is graphite, which is not toxic; and the raw material of wooden rod is wood, which is also basically not a problem.
But the vast majority of pencils are coated with flowery patterns on the outside, and the paints and pigments more or less contain heavy metals and other harmful substances.
If a child has the habit of chewing on pencils, he or she could accidentally ingest hazardous substances into the mouth.
So, the bad habit of biting pencils must be corrected, and pencils should be bought in the regular shopping malls of the regular brand.
