Gasoline is highly volatile and easily soluble in fat. In a production environment, it is mainly inhaled into the human body through the respiratory tract in the form of vapor, circulated through the blood to the human brain, and causes anesthetic effects. It also has toxic effects on the central nervous system and peripheral nerves, and adversely affects the bone marrow hematopoietic function. Women who are sensitive to gasoline may experience adverse reactions such as abnormal menstruation and physiological cycle disorders in addition to the above-mentioned neurological symptoms.

It is best for women to avoid contact with gasoline during pregnancy. Gasoline is harmful to the human body. Especially the harm to pregnant mothers cannot be ignored. If a pregnant mother inhales vapor containing high concentrations of lead or absorbs large amounts through her skin, the lead will be passed to the fetus through the placenta, causing lead poisoning, miscarriage, fetal developmental abnormalities, congenital malformations, mental retardation, etc. Exposure to trace amounts of lead during pregnancy can cause a significant inhibition of fetal growth and development, and the nervous system is also affected. Babies are born with significantly less weight and their intelligence is much lower than that of babies born to mothers who have not been exposed to lead.

The smell of gasoline has adverse effects on pregnant mothers. Many women, like you, are not alert to the smell of gasoline. In fact, this is wrong. The smell of gasoline can make pregnant mothers feel dizzy, nauseous, vomit, and irritable. It will not only affect their appetite but also seriously affect their mental state.

According to this situation, pregnant mothers should try to avoid smelling gasoline as much as possible to prevent harm to the fetus.
