For the health of babies, stay away from fragrant toys. Pineapples, hamburgers, bread, these delicious foods are made into simulation toys, which look exactly the same color as the real ones; pinch them with your hand, and they are very elastic; smell them with your nose, and you will smell the fragrance of food, making you want to take a bite. But experts point out that the fragrance of such simulation toys is emitted by added chemical agents, and excessive contact may affect children's growth and development. Especially some "three-no" toy products, whose quality is worrying, and more harmful to health.
I. Fragrance comes from chemical raw materials
Du Da'an, chief technician of the Guangdong Provincial Health Inspection Center, said that the fragrance on these toys usually comes from chemical raw materials with aromatic odor. The country has strict restrictions on the chemical components contained in toys.
Dr. Chen Zuhui, deputy director of the Medical Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University, introduced that the common components of these chemical raw materials are hydrocarbons with benzene ring structure. After different technical adjustments, they can emit fruity, floral, food and other fragrances. Long-term contact by children will definitely affect their health.
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan, director of the Department of Pediatrics at Zhengzhou Central Hospital, said that one thing is certain: the fragrance of this simulated bread is definitely emitted by added chemical agents, and this kind of chemical substance that can emit fragrance is always considered a "health killer". "Young children are easily attracted by the fragrance and shape of this simulated food." Not only this simulated bread, but also scented stationery and toys should not be used by children.
II. Hazards of fragrant toys
The true ingredients of highly realistic "bread" and other fragrant toys are plastic, foaming agent, artificial fragrance, pigment paint, etc. Artificial fragrance is emitted by added chemical agents, which may become potential carcinogenic factors, and long-term contact may affect health. Especially for children under 3 years old, they will unconsciously bite, suck or even swallow these fragrant toys, which will directly cause harm to the digestive system and have toxic effects on the liver, affecting metabolism. Smelling too much toxic fragrance can cause chronic poisoning such as dizziness, loss of appetite, and poor sleep. Long-term contact can irritate the skin and respiratory tract, and may even lead to allergic dermatitis.
For the health of babies, stay away from fragrant toys, especially babies under 3 years old should avoid these simulation toys as much as possible, and do not let children bite or suck these fragrant toys. After contacting these things, hands should be washed immediately to prevent toxic substances from remaining on the hands.
