What should I pay attention to when I have mothballs in my closet?

Sanitary balls are also called mothballs. In daily life, many people use mothballs to repel moths in suitcases, wardrobes, drawers, and bookcases where clothes and books are stored, so as not to bite and damage clothes and books, which does have a certain repellent effect, but this is not good for human health, especially for children.

Because the sanitary ball is not a real camphor, but a by-product extracted from petroleum or coal tar, its main chemical components are naphthalene and naphthalene phenol derivatives, which have certain toxicity. If people inhale air containing naphthalene vapor for a long time, it can cause weakness, headache, loss of appetite, nausea and other reactions. In severe cases, it can also affect vision and damage the kidneys.

In children, there is a hemolytic anemia disease caused by a genetic defect: the red blood cells in the blood of the sick child lack glucose-6-phosphorus dehydrogenase. This disease usually does not show any symptoms, but when it comes into contact with substances such as naphthol, the redox process in the red blood cells will be hindered, and the cell membranes of the red blood cells will be destroyed, and acute hemolytic anemia will occur.

At the same time, according to domestic and foreign data reports in recent years, coal tar is still the first class of carcinogens. Many countries have banned its use in everyday life. In addition, the sanitary ball will cause the white fabric to yellow, and the fastness and strength of the chemical fiber will be reduced.

Therefore, the health ball should not be used regularly in daily life. If the clothes have been stored for a long time, they must be fully dried before wearing, so that after it is heated, the naphthalene phenols will become gases and volatilize.

Don't put too much, one is the best, don't put the cortical one, mothballs are better than orange peels.

Mothballs are often used to protect books, paper, and clothing. Natural mothballs are mainly extracted from various parts of the camphor tree, while synthetic mothballs are made with turpentine as the main raw material.
