Analysis of potential safety hazards of collodion to children
Collodion is a very commonly used glue and is often used by children. However, collodion also presents some safety concerns, especially for children. The following is an analysis from four aspects.
1. Accidental ingestion
Children are very curious and often pick up things and put them in their mouths to try. If you mistake collodion for candy or children\’s biscuits, you may accidentally eat it and enter your stomach. Because collodion cannot be digested, it will cause irritation and damage to the oral cavity, esophagus, stomach and other digestive systems, and may even cause respiratory tract obstruction, adhesions, etc.
2. Improper application site
When children use collodion, they often apply it directly with their hands, which makes it easy to apply the glue to areas that are difficult to clean, such as the face and mouth. Collodion contains chemicals such as formaldehyde and benzene, which may cause skin allergies or chemical burns. Especially if it accidentally touches the eyes, ears and other parts, it will cause serious harm to the child.
3. Improper storage
Families often keep various glues, paints, cleaners, etc. in easily accessible places at home for daily use. However, these dangerous items must be kept out of the reach of children. If collodion is placed in a place where children can easily reach it, such as desks, drawers, etc., children may accidentally touch it, causing danger.
4. Use for too long
Children often get excited when working with collodion and often spend a long time sticking things together. Because the chemicals in collodion evaporate, the longer it takes, the greater the harm to children. If children use it for too long, it may cause symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and difficulty breathing.
Countermeasures
In order to ensure the safety of children, here are some countermeasures:
1. Prevent accidental ingestion
Parents should manage their children\’s diet well and avoid placing dangerous goods such as collodion where children can reach them. If accidental ingestion occurs, the child should be sent to the hospital immediately for emergency treatment.
2. Strictly control the scope of use
Parents should tell their children not to apply it everywhere, and that they need to be accompanied by an adult when using collodion, and not to apply it on sensitive parts such as the face and eyes, and to wash their hands in time after use.
3. Safe storage
Parents should keep hazardous materials out of children\’s reach and be sure to be accompanied by an adult if children want to use them. Make sure the packaging is in good condition to prevent leakage and other phenomena.
4. Control usage time
Parents should strictly control the use time of their children, usually no more than 15 minutes, and ventilate in time during use to avoid volatilized chemicals that endanger the health of their children.
Summary
Although collodion is a very commonly used glue, as a dangerous product, parents need to strictly control it and take corresponding countermeasures when using it. Especially for children, care should be taken to prevent accidental ingestion, improper application site, improper storage, and excessive use time.Long wait problem. If parents take strict safety measures, they can avoid injuries caused by the use of glue to their children.
