If the paint absorbs too much, what harm will it do to the human body?

The main components of paint: 1) Oil: including dry oil and semi-dry oil, is one of the main film-forming substances.

2) Resins: including natural resins and artificial resins, which are also part of the main film-forming substances. (3) Pigments:

Including coloring pigments, physique pigments and anti-rust pigments, the specific varieties are quite varied, and they are secondary film-forming substances. (4) Thinner: including solvents and diluents, which are used to dissolve the above substances and adjust the consistency, and are auxiliary film-forming substances.

5) Excipients: including driers, curing agents, plasticizers, and moisture-proof agents. It is also an auxiliary film-forming substance.

Thinners are harmful formaldehyde-containing.

Long-term inhalation of volatile gases from paint can lead to aplastic anemia, leukemia, tuberculosis, pleurisy, etc. Exposure to solvents such as paints and coatings increases the chances of developing multiple sclerosis in the general population by 50%. If you have the gene and smoke, you are 30 times more likely to get the disease.

Paints use organic solvents as diluents, which consume energy, pollute the environment, are toxic and harmful, and are flammable and explosive. In foreign countries, the production and application of paint has been expressly prohibited or restricted, and the European Union has legislated to strictly prohibit the production and use of paint, but paint is still popular in China. Paint is an important cause of haze and seriously damages human health.

Hazards: Painting without protection, the concentration of benzene in the air in the workplace is quite high, which is extremely harmful to painting workers, and long-term exposure to benzene will cause chronic poisoning, resulting in leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, bone marrow hematopoietic dysfunction and other diseases. If the human body ingests too much benzene, it will cause aplastic anemia and leukemia.

The harm of paint to the human body can not only occur through inhalation of the lungs, but also through absorption, the human body is in direct contact with the paint, which can dissolve the fat in the paint, causing dry cracking, inflammation and entering the human body.

Therefore, it is necessary to have protective equipment in place when carrying out relevant work, at the same time limit working hours, and the workplace must have good ventilation conditions.

The main occupational hazard of paint production is the inhalation of organic solvent vapors, which makes the proportion of serious diseases such as aplastic anemia, leukemia, tuberculosis, pleurisy, quite high. Most of the painters with more than 10 years of service have symptoms of cough, fatigue, headache, chest tightness, and weakness of the limbs.

Heavy metals refer to metals with a density greater than cubic centimeters, such as lead, cadmium, chromium, mercury, etc. If long-term exposure to heavy metals such as lead, it can cause mild neurasthenic syndrome and dyspepsia, and in more severe cases, anemia and lead paralysis will occur.
