High quality mothballs should be made of camphor. Natural camphor is expensive, and synthetic camphor is basically used. Later, in order to further reduce the cost, synthetic chemicals such as naphthalene were used instead of camphor, but the name was still mothballs. Later, it was proved that such substitutes were harmful to everyone to varying degrees, and naphthalene had been banned. But moth-proof products made of natural camphor or synthetic camphor are still very safe. In addition, camphor is also used in food and medicine production.

"Mothballs" (health balls) are processed from organic substances extracted from petroleum or coal tar. Their main components are naphthalene, p-dichlorobenzene and chemical camphor, all of which are aromatic hydrocarbons. It has strong volatility and certain toxicity. Among them, sodium chloride was banned by the national environmental protection organization in the 1990s, and p-dichlorobenzene was also designated as a strong carcinogen by the World Health Organization.

A large number of experiments show that "mothballs" are extremely harmful to human health. The practice in the 1970s was to make clothes with mothballs to prevent moths. 2 1 century advocates environmental protection and health, improves human quality and uses healthy products. The substances emitted by camphor balls enter the human body through the skin with clothes, causing chronic harm to the human body. Children will have hemolytic jaundice, pregnant women will vomit anemia, the fetus will be defective, and adults with poor resistance will cause dry skin, hair loss and even allergic eczema. Long-term use for more than 65,438+00 years may lead to fatal granular leukopenia and even chronic cancer. Women are more sensitive than men.

With the improvement of people's living standards, mothballs have been eliminated by the society as a moth-proof product for clothing, and natural, healthy and environmentally friendly moth-proof products beneficial to human body are favored! !
