Silica Gel Toxicity
On the toxicity of silica gel
There are foreign bodies in the world, called silica gel. Its shape is specific and it is widely used. However, there are various opinions on its toxicity, which cannot be ignored.
Silica gel is often found in all kinds of things. Or as a moisture-proof agent, it is placed in a bottle and can to prevent the item from being damp and moldy; or it is used in the chemical, pharmaceutical and other industries to help with all kinds of reactions and separation.
On its toxicity, at first glance, it seems to be harmless. Its chemical properties are mostly stable, and under normal circumstances, it rarely reacts with other things. However, if you study it carefully, there are also hidden worries. If eaten carelessly, although it is not easily absorbed by the stomach, it can be discharged with the feces, but it may also cause some gastrointestinal discomfort, such as abdominal distension and stool stagnation.
And in the production and preparation of silicone, workers often come into close contact with it. If the protection is not good, silicone dust enters the body and enters the lungs through the respiratory tract. If it accumulates for a long time, it may cause lung diseases, such as pneumoconiosis. This is all to say that its toxicity is harmful to the human body.
As for the environment, although silicone is difficult to degrade naturally, its chemical properties are stable, and it usually releases less harmful substances to stain the environment. However, if it is disposed of in large quantities, it will accumulate and become harmful, which is also a burden on the environment.
Therefore, the toxicity of silica gel cannot be generalized. In daily use, it should be used properly and not eaten by mistake; in industrial production, strict protective measures must be set up to ensure the well-being of workers; in the environment, it should be handled reasonably to avoid pollution. In this way, it can be used to avoid harm.
