What are the hazards of disposable lunchboxes
What are the hazards of disposable lunchboxes, many people are used to using disposable lunchboxes, in order to facilitate the use of disposable lunchboxes by many office workers. Sometimes when the meal is cold, it will be heated to eat. The following look at the hazards of disposable lunch boxes and related information.
What are the hazards of disposable lunchboxes 1Disposable lunchboxes are toxic to heat. A lot of poor-quality disposable lunch box harmful substances seriously exceeded the microwave oven a turn, harmful substances will be dissolved in the food (soaked in hot water is the same). These lunch boxes add a lot of waste plastic and filler, heat or grease will be released. The industrial calcium carbonate inside is easy to form gallstones, kidney stones, on the human body's digestive tract,
Nervous system is also very harmful. If you use microwave heating, because the temperature is difficult to directly control, it may happen that the raw materials or additives due to the encounter of ultra-high temperature and decomposition, melting, releasing elements that affect human health. Long-term intake can lead to indigestion, gallstones and liver system lesions. If the material contains industrial paraffin, it can even cause cancer.
What are the hazards of disposable tableware? Disposable lunch boxes are randomly discarded first to the city is the environmental landscape of the "visual pollution". Panelists witnessed water transportation workers salvaging floating garbage on the Suzhou Creek.
The largest quantity was found to be disposable lunch boxes, which are lightweight, large, and difficult to salvage. It can be said that disposable lunchboxes are the main "white pollution" on the urban landscape will be much more destructive than other sources of pollution.
From a deeper perspective, the harm that disposable lunchboxes do to the environment is difficult for people to perceive. Because of the difficulty of degrading waste plastics into the natural environment, the long-term existence of waste plastics will have a great destructive force on the soil.
Its mixing into the soil will prevent crops and plants from absorbing nutrients and water; discarded on land or in a body of water, swallowed by animals will lead to death; if it is landfilled, it will directly occupy the land, and 100 years of difficult to degrade, affecting the structure of the soil; if it is incinerated, then it will produce harmful gases, polluting the atmosphere.
What are the hazards of disposable lunchboxes 2
1, damage to respiratory function: disposable chopsticks production process shall be fumigated with sulfur, so in the process of using the heat will release SO2, erosion of respiratory mucosa.
2, unfavorable gastrointestinal: disposable plastic lunch boxes, with a hot water soak, microwave heating will lead to the chemical substances added in the lunch box and food dissolve each other, unfavorable gastrointestinal.
3, corrosion of the esophagus: disposable lunch box production, most of them will use to hydrogen peroxide bleaching, hydrogen peroxide has a strong corrosive, on the oral cavity, esophagus corrosion.
Notes on using disposable lunchboxes
Loading at low temperatures: If you go to a restaurant to buy a boxed lunch to take away, it is recommended to wait for the meal to be cold before loading, so as to avoid high temperatures leading to dissolution of hazardous substances in the lunchbox.
Avoid heating at high temperatures: You can't use disposable lunch boxes to heat up food in the microwave, unless the box has a clear microwave-safe symbol on it.
Use less foaming disposable tableware: You should refuse to use foaming plastic lunch boxes used by vendors, which are more hazardous than those made of wood fiber and plastic.
What are the hazards of disposable lunch boxes 3
1, damage to respiratory function: disposable chopsticks production process shall be fumigated with sulfur, so in the process of using the heat will release SO2,.
2, unfavorable gastrointestinal: disposable plastic lunch boxes, microwave heating will lead to the chemical substances added in the lunch box and food dissolve each other, unfavorable gastrointestinal.
3, corrosion of the esophagus: disposable lunch box production, most of them will use to hydrogen peroxide bleaching, hydrogen peroxide has a strong corrosive, on the oral cavity, esophagus corrosion.
Disposable tableware according to the source of raw materials, production processes, degradation, recycling level is divided into the following three categories:
1, biodegradable: such as paper products (including pulp molding type, cardboard coated with film), edible powder molded plastic, plant fiber molded plastic and so on;
2, light/biodegradable materials: light/biodegradable plastics (non-foaming), such as light/biodegradable PP class;
2, light/biodegradable materials: light/biodegradable plastic (non-foaming) type, such as light Biodegradable PP;
3, easy to recycle materials: such as polypropylene (PP), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), bi-directional stretch polystyrene (BOPS), natural inorganic mineral-filled polypropylene composite products.
Hazard 1, poisoning hazards
Disposable lunch boxes for foaming tableware, the bearing food more than 65 degrees, will precipitate its own toxic substances into the food. The use of such a lunch box to eat, is equivalent to chronic poisoning. The short-term effect will not be much, but the long-term use of the liver, kidneys, or the impact of entanglement.
Hazard two, long degradation time
This plastic product `degradation time needs at least 200 years. Plastic remains in the field for a long time, affecting the absorption of water by crops and inhibiting development. If livestock accidentally eat the plastic, it can cause digestive diseases, and even death. And the plastic is filled with a loose foundation that allows bacteria to seep in and pollute the environment.
Hazard three, secondary pollution
If these plastic lunch boxes directly incineration, will cause serious secondary pollution to the environment. Plastic incineration, not only cause a lot of black smoke, and will produce dioxin, dioxin into the soil, at least 15 months to decompose. And dioxin can harm plants and animals.
Call, refuse to use disposable lunch boxes! Go out to eat to prepare an enamel bowl or environmentally friendly lunch box to replace the disposable lunch box. This is the only way to reuse resources, to protect the environment, and to benefit future generations.
Usually, using disposable tableware once in a while is not harmful to the human body. However, if you use it for a long time, it may affect the normal respiratory function, gastrointestinal system health, and may also be infected. For the sake of personal health, you can usually bring your own tableware or cups, and when you have to use disposable tableware, you can use disinfectant supplies to sterilize it after use.
1, affect the respiratory function, disposable tableware in the production process may use sulfur fumigation, in order to make the tableware color bright, but when such disposable tableware heat will release toxic substances, years of use will also affect the respiratory tract, leading to respiratory mucosal chronic damage, affecting the system of ventilation, ventilating function;
2, affect the gastrointestinal health, in the making of the tableware, in order to make the tableware look like the best, and also may be infected. Disposable tableware, in order to make the tableware look white and clean, but also use hydrogen peroxide bleaching, due to the corrosive nature of hydrogen peroxide is relatively strong, if the cleaning is not thorough, it will be the human oral cavity and esophagus caused by corrosion of the individual's gastrointestinal tract will also have a certain amount of damage. Especially in the grinding process of talcum powder, in the human body after the accumulation of gallstones may also increase the incidence of gallstones;
3, the emergence of infection, disposable tableware has a certain shelf-life, if the shelf-life continues to be used, tableware on the yellow staphylococcus bacteria, Escherichia coli, and other pathogens, into the human body may be triggered by the sense of
