What are the dangers of mothballs to the human body?

Camphor is a ketone with the molecular formula C10H16O. Natural mothballs are mainly extracted and processed from the branches and leaves of the camphor tree, which are colorless or white crystals, non-toxic, and have a fragrant smell; Most of the synthetic mothballs are made of dichlorobenzene as a raw material, with a pungent smell and certain toxicity, and improper placement or too much will cause people to have symptoms such as dizziness, sneezing, and allergies.

Both of these substances have a strong, weirdly sweet smell, the so-called "hygienic bulb smell". In contrast, the smell of camphor has a refreshing sensation. Both solids, like camphor, are directly sublimated into gases and are toxic to moths and their larvae.

Mothballs are harmful to the body.

Mothballs are divided into two types: natural mothballs and synthetic mothballs

1. Natural mothballs are smooth colorless or white crystals with a fragrant smell and will float in water. Natural mothballs, also known as stinky beads, are used to prevent insects, moths and mildew, which are originally aromatic organic compounds extracted from the branches and leaves of the camphor tree. It is also used in medicine, spices, etc., and is used as a cardiotonic in medicine.

2. Synthetic mothballs are organic compounds, and most of the mothballs containing naphthalene are white, have a pungent smell, and sink in water.

The most popular mothballs on the market are extracted from coal tar, and their chemical composition is "naphthalene". "Naphthalene" has a strong carcinogenic effect on humans, so the synthetic mothballs are harmful to the human body.

Mothballs are harmful to the human body. Mothballs are an organic compound, and most mothballs contain dichlorobenzene, naphthalene. If the human body is in regular contact, it will be inhaled through the breathing of the human body, as well as absorbed by **, mucous membranes and digestive tract, which will cause harm to the human body.

Mothballs contain mothballs of p-dichlorobenzene, naphthalene. It should not be used for daily necessities. A large number of practices have proved that benzene substances are extremely harmful to human health.

As a result, the World Health Organization has classified it as a strong carcinogen.

A large number of scientific studies have proved that benzene is extremely harmful to human health, it can be inhaled through the human respiratory tract, and can also be absorbed through the mucous membrane and digestive tract. It can also directly act on red blood cells to rupture them and cause acute hemolysis. When the child wears clothes with mothballs, phenol will enter the bloodstream through **, and in severe cases, it can also cause cancer.

Mothballs are harmful to the body. There are two types of mothballs: natural mothballs and synthetic mothballs. Mothballs containing naphthalene are mostly white, have a pungent smell, and sink in water; Natural mothballs, on the other hand, are smooth, colorless or white crystals with a fragrant smell that float in water.

Synthetic mothballs have a pungent smell because they contain naphthalene or p-dichlorobenzene. Mothballs containing p-dichlorobenzene have certain toxicity, which can cause human poisoning symptoms, such as sneezing, dizziness, vomiting, allergies, fatigue, etc., and can even cause cancer in severe cases. At present, most of the most advanced mothballs on the market contain naphthalene or p-dichlorobenzene to varying degrees, and you must pay attention to the labeling on the packaging bag when purchasing.
