Investigation: 60% of the color mud is unqualified, children's exposure is easy to cause disease
At the beginning of September, Jiangsu Quality Supervision Bureau released the quality analysis report of color mud product risk monitoring in 2015. Among the 100 batches of samples monitored, 62 batches exceeded the relevant standard limit requirements. The main problem was that the migration elements and preservatives exceeded the standard.
In mid-September, a 3-year-old child in Jiangsu did not wash his hands because he had played with colored mud. As a result, not only did hechy itchy, his palms became red the next morning, but he also had many small moles. He was diagnosed with contact dermatitis after going to the hospital for examination.
It is understood that there are two major hidden dangers in color mud. One is preservative. The long-term contact or ingestion of children is likely to cause potential harm to the health of the body. The second is the migration of elemental boron, the focus is on the way of skin contact, and it is not excluded. Ingestion, if the child is exposed to excessive boron, it can cause chronic poisoning, damage to the liver and kidneys, and edema in the brain and lungs.
In addition to color mud, what other items in the children's daily contact may be harmful to children, is there a safety problem?
1. Correction fluid, correction pen, correction tape
Toxic substances: benzene
Potential hazards: Benzene is a carcinogen. Inhalation or skin contact with benzene may cause acute and chronic benzene poisoning, and central nervous system anesthesia may occur. Benzene may also inhibit hematopoietic function, increase red blood cells, white blood cells, thrombocytopenia, and increase the probability of developing aplastic anemia. Long-term use can cause damage to the liver, kidneys, etc.
2. Book cover
Toxic substances: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, phthalates
Potential hazards: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are strong carcinogens. The European Union, the United States, New Zealand and other countries and regions have issued regulations on the restriction and prohibition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Phthalates interfere with endocrine and can cause reproductive and developmental disorders in children and pregnant women. The United States, the European Union, Japan, Argentina and other countries and regions have issued laws prohibiting the use of phthalates in children's products and stationery.
3. Pencil
Toxic substances: lead
Potential hazards: The harm of lead poisoning to the baby is mainly to affect the development of the brain, damage many functions of the nervous system, and the damage is also irreversible.

4. Scented eraser
Toxic substances: plasticizer, formaldehyde, benzene
Potential hazards: Plasticizers not only affect the growth and development of the boy's testicles, but also cause the boy to be “feminized†and lead to “precocious pubertyâ€.

7. Book (pirated book)
Toxic substances: lead, hexavalent chromium
Potential hazards: A solid substance testing report commissioned by the Environmental Science Testing Center of Tsinghua University in China shows that some pirated books are 100 times more expensive than similar genuine books, and some pirated books have also detected six. Price chrome. The World Health Organization study found that exposure to high concentrations of lead can damage the brain and central nervous system, causing coma, convulsions, and even death.
