The harm of plastic smell to pregnant women

Plastic is everywhere in our lives, such as the plastic bags and plastic chairs we often use. Most plastic products meet factory standards, but if some plastics are of poor quality, they may emit odors that are harmful to the human body, especially for pregnant women, and may even affect the health of the child.

Is ordinary plastic harmful to the human body?

Most ordinary plastic bags are made from PVC (the main component is polyvinyl chloride). When the temperature exceeds 50℃, the toxic components in the plastic bag will seep out. When the temperature reaches 80°C, it will melt when heated and release toxic substances. Although the harm may not be seen immediately, long-term use will cause chronic poisoning and cause great harm to human health.

The harm of plastic smell to pregnant women

If pregnant women often smell plastic, it will lead to lead poisoning, which can easily cause fetal malformations. More seriously, it may cause pregnant women to have spontaneous abortion or stillbirth.

What should pregnant women pay attention to when using plastics

In daily life, it is inevitable to use plastic bags to pack some food, including some cooked food. If pregnant women eat high-temperature food packed in plastic bags for a long time or even put the plastic bags and food in the microwave to heat them together, it may cause certain harm to pregnant women.

Why can't you use plastic bags to store hot food?

If you use ordinary plastic bags to hold high-temperature food or even put food wrapped in plastic bags into the microwave to heat it, the harm will be even greater, because microwave heating is generally uneven and the local temperature is very high, which will not only easily burn the plastic bags, but also increase the release of toxic substances, contaminate food, and be harmful to health.
