EspañolPlastic products are more and more widely used in all aspects of people's production and life, but due to the different materials, production and performance of the products, especially some products are toxic, which may cause poisoning or serious consequences. In view of this situation, how to use plastic products scientifically and correctly is very important. The current situation is introduced, how to use it correctly:
First of all: understand the performance of the product and distinguish whether it is toxic or not. This mainly depends on what material the plastic is made of, and whether plasticizers, stabilizers, etc. are added to it. The plastic food bags, milk bottles, buckets, water bottles, etc. sold in the general market are mostly polyethylene plastics, which are lubricated to the touch, and the surface is like a layer of wax, which is easy to burn, with a yellow flame and dripping wax. With a paraffin odor, this plastic is non-toxic. Industrial packaging plastic bags or containers are mostly made of polyvinyl chloride, with lead-containing salt stabilizers added to them. When touched by hand, this plastic is sticky and not easy to burn. It goes out immediately after leaving the fire. The flame is green, and the weight is heavy. This plastic is toxic.
Second: Do not arbitrarily use plastic products to load oil, vinegar, and wine. Even the white and translucent pails sold on the market are non-toxic, but they are not suitable for long-term storage of oil and vinegar, otherwise, the plastic will swell easily, and the oil will be oxidized, resulting in substances harmful to the human body; You should also pay attention to the wine, the time should not be too long, too long will reduce the aroma and degree of the wine.
It is especially worth noting that do not use toxic PVC buckets to hold oil, vinegar, wine, etc., otherwise it will contaminate the oil, vinegar, and wine. It can cause pain, nausea, skin allergies, etc., and even damage the bone marrow and liver in severe cases. In addition, we should also pay attention not to use barrels to pack kerosene, gasoline, diesel, toluene, ether, etc., because these things are easy to soften and swell the plastic until it cracks and damages, resulting in unexpected consequences.
Then: pay attention to maintenance and anti-aging. When people use plastic products, they often encounter phenomena such as hardening, brittleness, discoloration, cracking, and performance degradation, which is plastic aging. In order to solve the problem of aging, people often add some antioxidants to plastics to slow down the aging speed. In fact, this does not fundamentally solve the problem. In order to make plastic products durable, it is mainly necessary to use them properly, do not let them be exposed to sunlight, do not let rain, do not bake on fire or heating, and do not often touch water or oil.
Finally: Do not burn discarded plastic products. As mentioned earlier, toxic plastics are not easy to burn, because they emit black smoke, odor, and toxic gases when burned, which are harmful to the environment and the human body; non-toxic burning will also pollute the environment and affect human health. It can also cause various inflammations.
