What are the dangers of using disposable chopsticks?

The hazards of using disposable chopsticks are as follows:1. Disposable chopsticks must be fumigated with sulfur during the production process, so sulfur dioxide will be released when heated during use, which will damage respiratory function.

2. Disposable chopsticks are bleached with hydrogen peroxide in the production process, hydrogen peroxide has strong corrosiveness, corrosives the mouth, esophagus, and even the stomach.

3. Bacterial infection. Sterilized disposable chopsticks have a shelf life of up to 4 months, and once the expiration date is exceeded, it is likely to carry Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli and hepatitis.

The discarding of disposable chopsticks can also cause irreparable damage to the environment and nature around us.

You can have large areas of deforestation as a consequence.

China has only 3% of its forests and has to cut down trees for export, such as Japan, which has a 65% forest cover.

Of course, because disposable chopsticks have their convenience, they can't be eliminated in a short time, and I still advocate bamboo.

Disposable chopsticks consume a lot of wood, so a lot of forests are cut down.

There are also disposable chopsticks that have some ingredients that are poisonous.

Not very hygienic and not thoroughly disinfected.

Disadvantages of disposable chopsticks:

Damage to respiratory function: disposable chopsticks must be fumigated with sulfur during the production process, so SO2 will be released when exposed to heat during use, eroding the mucosa of the respiratory tract;

Damage to digestive function: disposable chopsticks are bleached with hydrogen peroxide during the production process, hydrogen peroxide has strong corrosiveness, causing corrosion to the mouth, esophagus and even gastrointestinal tract; The use of talcum powder in the grinding process is not clean, and it slowly accumulates in the human body, which will cause people to suffer from gallstones;

Bacterial infection: The shelf life of sterilized disposable chopsticks is up to 4 months, and once the expiration date is exceeded, it is likely to bring Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and hepatitis.

4. Disposable chopsticks may also produce a "greenhouse effect", because of the vicious circle, there are fewer trees, carbon dioxide will increase, the atmosphere will thicken, and the heat will be difficult to disperse, resulting in a "greenhouse effect".

The hazards of disposable chopsticks are as follows:

1. Impaired respiratory function. In order to whiten chopsticks, some criminals will fumigate with sulfur during the production of disposable chopsticks, and the sulfur gas will release SO2 when it is heated when bleached, and it will solidify on the surface of the chopsticks when it is cold. When we use chopsticks, when the chopsticks are heated, they will release gases that enter the human body and erode the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, causing cough and other diseases.

2. Damage to digestive function. Criminals will also use hydrogen peroxide to bleach disposable chopsticks during the production process, and the black chopsticks that have been boiled in hydrogen peroxide will turn white. Hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive, causing corrosion to the mouth, esophagus and even the gastrointestinal tract; The use of talcum powder in the grinding process is not clean, and it slowly accumulates in the human body, which will cause people to suffer from gallstones;

3. Damage to the gallbladder. In order to make the chopsticks smoother, the chopsticks are polished before they are released. Polishing is the addition of a layer of paraffin wax to the surface of the chopsticks.

Paraffin wax is a low-end product in the petroleum smelting process, and the paraffin wax on the chopsticks will accumulate in our human body. Paraffin wax slowly accumulates in our body, which can cause us to develop gallstones.

Disposable chopsticks

Disposable chopsticks refer to chopsticks that are discarded after one use, also known as "sanitary chopsticks" and "convenient chopsticks". Disposable chopsticks are a product of the fast-paced and resource-saving life of the society, but also a product of the sharp decline of forest resources. There are mainly disposable wooden chopsticks, mystery household worship and disposable bamboo chopsticks.

Disposable chopsticks are favored by the catering industry because of their hygiene and convenience, but the problem of disposable wooden chopsticks causing the destruction of a large number of woodlands is becoming more and more prominent. The consumption of various types of wooden chopsticks in the Chinese market is very huge, of which 45 billion pairs of disposable wooden chopsticks are consumed every year.

Every 5,000 pairs of wooden disposable chopsticks are processed to consume a poplar tree that grows for 30 years, and the daily production of disposable wooden chopsticks in the country consumes more than 100 acres of forest, totaling 10,000 mu a year. And inferior wooden chopsticks are not clean, they just give people the illusion of hygiene.

The disposable bamboo chopsticks are made of renewable bamboo, economic and environmentally friendly, more and more widely used, China also uses the preferential policy of export tax rebate to encourage the use of disposable bamboo chopsticks instead of disposable wooden chopsticks exports, reduce the use of wood, and protect forests.
