Is glass harmful to people?

Compared with plastic cups and stainless steel cups. Glass is more conducive to human health, generally non-toxic and usually harmless to human body.

1, the main component of glass is inorganic silicate, which has high chemical stability and generally does not contain organic chemicals during firing. When drinking water or other drinks from a glass, you don't have to worry about chemicals entering the body with the water. Drinking water from a glass is relatively healthy.

2. The glass is not only transparent and beautiful, but also has high stability. Glass made at more than 600 degrees will not change at the boiling water temperature of 100 degrees. In addition, the glass contains no organic chemicals, so there is no need to worry about this when drinking water or other things in the glass. Among some cups made of common materials, glass is the healthiest, and glass is the first choice when drinking water. As long as water is not poisonous, drinking water from a glass is not poisonous. The advantage of this glass is that it is easy to clean.

3. But colored glasses are not suitable for use. When heated, the pigment in colored glass will release heavy metals such as lead, which may enter the human body through drinking water. Long-term use will affect human health.

It should be noted that because the glass material has strong thermal conductivity, it is easy for users to accidentally burn themselves. If the water temperature is too high, the cup may burst, so try to avoid hot water.
