But, you know what? When we wait for the courier to arrive one after another with anticipation every day, take it home happily like a baby, and then open your eyes to find out, you may open a pack of "poison sources" at the same time, and maybe the next second you will see stars, limp, fall to the ground and even be dying!
? Don't blame the author for being too harsh, it's true!
A few days ago, I saw another news that the courier was poisoned, which made people feel creepy.
On August 30th, a lady in Xiamen failed to unpack the parcel by hand after receiving the express parcel. She was so anxious to see the baby that she bit it directly with her mouth. As a result, the mouth was swollen and the ulcer festered the next day, which was terrible.
? This can't help but remind people of the "deadly poison express" incident of 13.
2065438+0165438 At the end of 2003 10, Mr. Liu from Shandong received a pair of shoes online, and a few hours later, he developed vomiting, abdominal pain and other symptoms, and died that day due to ineffective rescue. After hospital diagnosis, Mr. Liu died of toxic chemical liquid methyl fluoroacetate poisoning. After investigation, it was learned that the courier caused chemical leakage, which polluted other couriers, and 8 people had different degrees of poisoning symptoms.
Just in mid-August, due to the leakage of prohibited transport items, a courier in an express delivery point in Xi 'an was poisoned by cyanide, and 22 employees were injured.
I once read a report in the newspaper that someone had a "red rash" on his hand after unpacking the courier bag, and someone was "smoked" by the pungent smell immediately after opening the courier bag. Most people often find express bags dirty, dusty and smelly.
? Throughout the news events in recent years, there are by no means a few cases caused by courier poisoning, which is undoubtedly not an alarm for the vast number of customers who are addicted to online shopping.
We have been waiting for the courier to be unpacked, but we never thought about how it got to you and what "Qian Shan Wanshui" it passed.
In order to attract customers, many merchants in the market deliver goods by parcel post, so they try their best to reduce costs and make profits. The courier bags we often receive are gray and black, but we don't know that this plastic bag is the cheapest! Almost all of them are "recycled", and the garbage is chemically processed.
(recycling, waste materials in production or used old materials, materials formed after reprocessing, commonly known as garbage. Don't think too much, the packaging bags of recycled materials are very cheap.
At present, the packaging bags used by courier companies are usually polyvinyl chloride (famous PVC) or polyethylene (PE). Its raw materials are very complicated, and most of them are processed from chemical raw materials and domestic garbage. The main raw material is old plastic, which is very low in cost, but a lot of harmful substances such as plasticizer and flame retardant may remain.
Plastic bags made of PVC will produce plasticizer at high temperature. As early as a few years ago, food in Taiwan Province Province has publicized the hazards of plasticizers to the mainland, such as interfering with the development of male reproductive system, causing gender disorders in children, short genitals, unclear sexual characteristics, and even liver cancer.
Polyethylene plastic itself is non-toxic, but additives are often added to adapt to different application ranges. They are volatile under certain conditions and produce toxic substances.
Another problem with waste plastics is that they may be contaminated when they are used for the first time.
The reason why it is grayish black is that the recycled old plastics are colored, and adding grayish black is the easiest way to cover up the primary colors.
? The adhesive tape on the express packaging bag also contains a lot of PVC.
? Of course, inferior express packaging bags are not the same. The following are the main common express packaging bags in life.
Paper express packaging is the most expensive and rarely seen;
Followed by white plastic bags, each about 0.25 yuan, relatively rare, plastic packaging pollution is the least;
Once again, it is green and yellow, half is old material and half is new material, and occasionally aviation parts can be seen;
The most common is grayish black, which is almost made of "recycled materials" and may leave a lot of harmful substances.
In addition, express delivery is often piled up on the ground in the process of packaging, transportation, transit and delivery, and may also be contaminated by bacteria carried by the packager and the surrounding environment, further increasing its cleanliness.
According to international standards, there may be more bacteria on a courier package at any time than a horse barrel ring and a trash can!
? We even receive a courier every day, even more than one courier every day, but many of us ignore it. When we happily take the parcel from the courier, it means that we have brought back a "pollution source".
The author didn't mean to stop you from receiving express delivery, and didn't mean to stop you from shopping online. Or how many customers will cry to death? How many sellers starved to death?
It's just that we should pay attention to the problem of express parcel. We can accept parcels and unpack express parcels, but this is related to our own health problems and we have to pay attention to it.
? Because waste plastics and other substances may contain toluene and formaldehyde, once they enter an unventilated environment, these gases will accumulate and be harmful to health after inhalation. Moreover, after the packaging bags are piled up, there is a risk of cross-mixing with other ingredients, leading to bacterial growth.
Of course, you may say: there are so many people who open the courier and don't wash their hands, and they are still alive and kicking.
? Yes, what you said is very reasonable, but just like aerial work is a high-risk industry, not everyone will fall, but once it happens, the consequences will be very serious.
? The author is also a "shopaholic", and regards unpacking express as a great pleasure in life. Seeing the occurrence of express delivery events again and again, he was inexplicably afraid. Just want to remind the partners who are waiting for the express delivery. Although unpacking the courier is just a small gesture, can you guarantee that nothing will happen if you pay attention?
