Paper towels are a necessity in daily life, and they will use it every day, especially for families with babies, which consume more paper towels, so many mothers usually stock up on some at home.
Although paper towels seem inconspicuous, but in fact, it is very important, to the child when choosing must pay more attention, must not covet cheap, and ignore the quality of paper towels, otherwise it is easy to have a series of health problems.
The "poisonous paper towels" exposed by CCTV are affecting the health of children, and some parents are not aware of it
I have a colleague, usually very frugal, even the children's things can be saved, once took advantage of the supermarket to engage in activities, hoarded a lot of daily necessities, of which paper towels hoarded the most, there are 10 boxes, and so many paper towels spent less than 50 yuan.
When she was proud of herself, the problem appeared, when she used these cheap paper towels to wipe the child's mouth, it was not long before the child had a lot of rashes on the skin, and went to the hospital to check only to find that it was caused by the paper towel allergy.
Although these tissues are cheap, but there is no safety guarantee to use, the news about inferior paper towels, CCTV has also reported, which mentions the news of "poisonous toilet paper", and this is not the first time that unqualified paper towels have appeared.
Earlier, CCTV had exposed the processing process of inferior paper towels, and the dirty production environment could not bear to look at it directly, and even in order to reduce costs, some unscrupulous merchants used moldy newspapers, waste paper and medicine boxes as raw materials for paper towels.
At the same time, a large number of fluorescent agents, whitening agents, talcum powder, etc. are added to make inferior paper towels look white and clean, in fact, heavy metals and chemicals are seriously exceeded, and the baby's skin is delicate, poor resistance, and inferior paper towels are harmful to them, far more than adults.
What is the harm of inferior paper towels?
Increased risk of cancer
Adding too much fluorescent agent and bleach to inferior paper towels is a harmful substance, which affects the circulatory system, reproductive function and metabolic function, reduces immunity, and even increases the risk of cancer, accelerating the proliferation of cancer cells, and the study found that people who regularly use white contaminated paper have a risk of breast cancer up to 7 times.
See and smell
Paper towels are not the whiter the better, normal paper towels to the natural color is appropriate, if the paper towel is snow white, then the fluorescent agent may be added in excess, it is recommended not to use a scented paper towel for the treasure, because this is the paper towel made after adding, the residual essence may be unfavorable to the baby's health.
Look at the packaging
Packaging above will generally indicate all kinds of information about the product, we can identify the raw materials of the paper through packaging, according to the advantages and disadvantages: the best primary wood pulp, down is the primary pulp, pure wood pulp, the most secondary is the mixed pulp, according to the grade (involving softness, toughness, water absorption): excellent products are the best, down is the first class, the most qualified products.
Ingredient selection
To choose a tissue for the baby to try to choose safe and non-irritating, mainly to see whether there is alcohol or fragrance in the composition of the tissue, in addition, the baby tissue with propylene glycol ingredient is also recommended not to choose to use.
Pay attention to the feel
Different types and brands of paper towels often have great differences in the feel, some wipes are dense and rough, some textures are relatively delicate, because the baby's skin is more fragile, so it is recommended that mothers choose paper towels that feel softer but have a thicker texture, so as to ensure that the baby is comfortable to use.
In the face of the child's health, everything is a small matter, and the tissue used by the child must be carefully selected to prevent being deceived.
