On the toxicity of cellulose acetate
Smell cellulose acetate, the study of its properties is related to many domains. In industry and products, whether it is toxic or not, affects the well-being of workers; in daily use, materials containing this material, its impact on users, is also a concern.

Cellulose acetate is made from the esterification of cellulose and acetic anhydride. Its composition is also unique. In the past, it was thought that it was stable and less harmful. However, today's research has gradually revealed its potential toxicity.

If it is not properly discarded in the ecology, it will decompose slowly. It may release harmful components between water and soil, disturbing the balance of the biological chain. Aquatic organisms may encounter it, or it may be stunted in development and reproduction. In terrestrial, soil microbial communities may also change as a result.

Entering the human body, there are various ways. During breathing, dust is inhaled, or pierces the respiratory tract, causing inflammation and sensitivity. If it enters through the mouth, the stomach may be invaded by it, leading to digestive diseases. If the skin touches it, there is also a risk of allergies.

Investigate its toxin source. First, the residual chemicals in the production, such as catalyzed substances, although trace amounts, accumulate and also suffer. Second, the structure breaks down to form small molecules, or toxic substances.

In order to avoid its harm, the industrial system should properly control the process and reduce residual toxins. Daily use selection, it is appropriate to be clear about the nature of materials, and be careful about products containing this. Researchers also need to explore and clarify its toxic mechanism in order to provide evidence for prevention.

The toxicity of cellulose acetate should not be underestimated. Multi-domain collaboration, parallel research and prevention, can ensure ecological and human safety.
