In the countryside, there is a type of bucket that is particularly popular, with a white barrel body and a lightweight material, which can not only be used as a bench when riding a green train, but also can be used to hold water and food, which can be described as a multi-purpose bucket.
This kind of white paint bucket, because of its practicality, is favored by the public, if you find no one on the side of the road, you have to pick it up and wash it and continue to use it. A simple and thrifty farmer can always give full play to the role of an object.
Although this white barrel is very popular and can be seen in almost every household in the countryside, in fact, it is potentially harmful, and how many people know about it?
The use of plastic buckets
The used white paint bucket is actually quite useful, and it is typical to act as a "small mazaar" to realize where to go and sit, and no longer have to worry about finding a place to rest, nor do you have to worry about dirty seats.
Especially during the Spring Festival, or during holidays, you will find that many passengers will carry such buckets to ride, not only to put things in the bucket, but also to act as a bench. It can be sat on and loaded with a "universal bucket", and once became an "artifact" for taking a green train.
Most of the people who need to use buckets to load things and use them as benches are middle-aged and elderly, and young people rarely use this "artifact".
These middle-aged and elderly people, carrying inconvenient buckets, naturally do not just use it as a bench, which is full of food on their way, as well as special products for their children, relatives and friends.
They carefully put these things in the bucket to avoid collision and shattering, just to let the children feel the love of their parents.
On the train, they usually don't buy expensive boxed lunches, and when they are hungry, they take out the dry food that has been prepared in advance and put it in a bucket to eat.
When these returnees step into their homes, these plastic buckets that follow them all the way also enter a new environment and start another kind of "work".
In the countryside, many people can see the figure of white paint buckets in their homes, and the buckets at this time are no longer only used for benches, but also for holding some food and storing water.
Such a good thing, used by every household, shows that these hard-working and thrifty rural people can always make the most of their items and do not have to worry about idleness.
But in fact, this kind of paint barrel with high utilization value cannot be used to hold grain, water, or even to avoid it from appearing in a confined space for a long time.
Hazards of plastic buckets
Paint barrels are produced to hold paint, or some chemicals, which contain many toxic ingredients.
The people are reluctant to throw away these good, durable and practical things because the barrel has a lot of space inside and can hold many things. As for the harm, I don't know anything.
This kind of barrel is made, it does not meet the food-grade standard, and the factory is not used to hold food and drink, just to hold paint, and the manufacturer may not have expected that one day it will become a "universal artifact", which can not only sit, but also hold food.
Nowadays, there are countless plastic products on the market, although plastic bowls and chopsticks look good, but when choosing, you must choose one that meets food safety and has a logo to be in direct contact with food.

The discarded paint barrel has long been included in the "National Hazardous Waste List" by the mainland, which clearly states that it cannot be directly in contact with food, and will be contaminated with some harmful ingredients, thus endangering people's health.
Not to mention plastic buckets, even the plastic bags in the supermarket can only temporarily hold food, and the food cannot be put in it for a long time, and the harmful substances produced will have a serious impact on health, ranging from poisoning to cardiovascular system disorders.
Some people may say that the most harmful thing is only the residual glue, and the bucket can be washed clean and can not be used?
In fact, no matter how much you wash, it is impossible to leave no residue, some of which have entered the material of the barrel and cannot be washed off at all, and plastic products will still emit toxic substances at high temperatures.
Some foods may have a chemical reaction with the material of the bucket, which will have an impact on human health, and which will have an impact and which will not, except for professionals, few people should be able to distinguish clearly, not to mention that most of the users are elderly.
What's even more gruesome is that poisoning from the use of paint buckets is not the same as food poisoning, and other post-poisoning reactions, which are intense and the discomfort can set on quickly.
The poisoning caused by the paint bucket is a chronic poisoning that slowly destroys people's bodies until the dose reaches its peak and breaks out instantly.
If you really don't want to throw it away, you can use it to hold some tools or other things, or use it as a trash can, and you must not come into contact with food and drink, for the sake of your own health and that of your family.

When cleaning, do not contaminate water resources. Previously, an official account reported that a man was fined more than 20,000 yuan for cleaning plastic barrels in the river, causing pollution of the river.
In Foshan, Guangdong, some people reported that the river has changed color, and the water quality is obviously more turbid than before.
After receiving the news, the relevant departments immediately launched an investigation. Water is closely related to people's lives, and pollution must be a serious matter.
After some investigation, it was found that it was a nearby resident who picked up a plastic bucket, a small bucket has a great use, he was reluctant to throw away this "treasure", so he took it to the river to clean.
Say that he is a person who loves cleanliness, he picked up a bucket in the garbage station and took it to the river to wash, will this film pollute the environment? Say he doesn't like cleanliness, and he also knows to wash it before using it. I really don't understand.
A small plastic bucket, with chemicals remaining inside, polluted more than 200 meters of the river, which can be imagined how serious it is.
The staff found the crowd, criticized him, educated him, and fined him to remediate the polluted river. For the sake of a barrel, the loss of twenty or thirty thousand is not worth the loss.

Write at the end
Diligence and thrift, this is engraved in the bones of the Chinese, in the past, the conditions were not good, there was not enough food and clothing, nothing was willing to be thrown away, and everything was used to the fullest, so that now that the conditions have improved, this habit still cannot be changed.
It's good to be frugal and not wasteful, but don't lose a lot of money. Just like this ordinary paint bucket, just because you are reluctant to throw it away, you will stay to hold food and drink, if it endangers your health, the cost of medical treatment will be greater.
If you really don't want to throw it away, you can keep it for garbage, etc., but you should always clean up the garbage and try not to leave the bucket in the house.
