What are the hazards of foam factories?

People often use some foam in daily life. For example, online shopping is very popular nowadays. For some products that are easy to break, foam will be placed around the products to protect them. In addition, foam has a wide range of uses. Because of this, there are now many foam factories all over the country. So will these foam factories cause any harm?

What are the hazards of foam factories?

The foam processing plant mainly produces EPS foam, pearl cotton, pearl cotton curtains, pearl cotton floor mats, construction engineering boards, PE wrapping film, PE bubble film and other products. These raw materials are all taken from chemical materials. Long-term contact with waste, waste gas and wastewater will affect the respiratory tract, lung function, skin and other aspects.

The tiny particles suspended in the air generated during the production process are called dust. When the skin is covered with dust, it can cause dermatitis, especially in the summer when there is a lot of sweating, dust can easily block the pores and cause folliculitis;

Alkaline dust, such as cement, can cause dry, wrinkled skin in winter. Inhalation of grain dust can cause bronchial asthma in some people. Inhalation of various mixed dusts (such as quartzite layers in addition to coal dust during coal mining) can cause mixed pneumoconiosis. Long-term inhalation of large amounts of dust containing a high percentage of silica can cause silicosis. Silicosis is the most serious form of pneumoconiosis. It forms scar-like fibrotic lesions in the lungs. Normal lung tissue is as elastic as a sponge, but loses its elasticity when it has fibrosis. At this time, gas exchange is poor, causing hypoxia in human tissues.

But in fact, the most terrifying thing is not the possibility of getting these chronic diseases, but the safety issues of the foam processing plant itself. Once a fire or explosion occurs in the plant, serious consequences and impacts will occur. Of course, if you really have no choice but to work, you must enhance your awareness of safety precautions.
