    Polyethylene itself is non-toxic, but it can have an impact on human health if accidentally inhaled.

    Its small molecule particles will be absorbed into the blood circulatory system, and eventually be vegetated in the kidneys, which is very difficult to be excreted (because the toner is insoluble in water), thus inducing kidney stones and other diseases are 3 times higher than normal people.

    Smoke is first of all harmful to the lungs of the human body, because after a large amount of solid and small particle waste is inhaled into the human body, it is difficult to expel and accumulate in the lungs, causing respiratory diseases.

    There are many types of plastics, among which the more dangerous ones are those that contain halogens and aryl groups, such as polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene, which release halogens when burned, or some other complex molecules, such as dioxins (carcinogenic), which are harmful to most parts of the body.

    Pharmaceutical plastic bottles are mainly made of pharmaceutical composite packaging materials. The material structure includes: paper plastic, plastic aluminized plastic, paper aluminum foil plastic and plastic aluminum foil plastic and other forms, and its barrier performance increases in turn.

    Among them, the plastic itself is divided into PE, CPP, BOPE, BOPET, BOPA, etc. Although it will cause certain harm to the environment, it will generally produce chemicals that are not good for the body when exposed to heat, as for you to make it, of course, you can't escape the heat, so it is safe to say that being in such an environment for a long time is very harmful to the body. Usually the food packaging materials we call mainly include polymer materials, metals, paper, ceramics, bamboo, glass, fibers and composite materials.

    Among them, polymer materials include plastics, rubber and coatings, and plastics are the most widely used in the food industry, and toxic plastic products are also the most harmful to people's health. Plastic is a kind of polymer compound, plastic products with synthetic resin as the main raw material, adding an appropriate amount of plasticizers, stabilizers, antioxidants and other additives, processed under certain plasticization conditions. At present, the food plastics allowed to be used in China include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), etc.

    These plastics have strict production process requirements in the processing process, and the content of free monomers and various additives has strict regulations in the country. The production of plastic products in accordance with the requirements of the national standard is harmless to the human body, but some manufacturers in order to maximize the benefits of the product, at the expense of people's health, the use of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and other plastic waste, and a small number of "black-hearted" manufacturers use brushed materials from the clothing industry, waste VCD discs, medical waste (used disposable infusion sets, syringes and blood transfusion sets) as raw materials to produce plastic bags, mineral water buckets, basins and other food appliances. These tools contain a large number of toxic and harmful chemicals, once the harmful substances in them migrate into the food, it will cause great harm to the human body.

    For example, after vinyl chloride monomer is absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, part of it is excreted through the respiratory tract, and the other part is decomposed into ethanol and monochloroacetic acid. It can also bind to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in vivo. It has toxic effects on the nervous system, bones and liver, and can lead to the occurrence of human angiosarcoma.

    Formaldehyde is the plasma poison of human cells, and animals ingesting formaldehyde orally can cause hepatocyte necrosis and lymphocyte infiltration. "Acetaldehyde" can damage human nerves, cause dizziness, dizziness, and even cancer.

    The gas produced by polyethylene at high temperature will not cause much harm to human health.

    The structure of ethylene is carbon and hydrogen, and the product of combustion is carbon dioxide.

    And water, the black smoke is just not fully burned, and there is no harm to people, as long as the place where it is ventilated can be.

    Hope to help you, thank you.

    Summary. Hello, glad to answer for you! What are the hazards of smoke and gas produced by high temperature of polyethylene to people? Yes, there is no DU and it cannot cause cancer, because polyethylene is polymerized by ethylene, which belongs to hydrocarbons, and only produces water and carbon dioxide when burned.

    Without du, polyethylene usually has no du, it can be used to hold food, and it is made with sound when it is shaken. Polyethylene is heated, heated to a certain extent, it can be converted into a liquid, and after cooling, it can form a solid again. If polyethylene can be heated again to form a flowing liquid, indicating that polyethylene has good thermoplasticity, can be recycled and reused, its use and market is constantly developing, polystyrene in high temperature exposure to produce du gas, once the human body drinks will be very harmful.
