On the Side Effects of Dichloromethane and Ethyl Acetate
Today there are dichloromethane and ethyl acetate, both of which are often used in various matters. However, many people do not know its side effects, so this cannot be ignored.
Dichloromethane has certain toxicity. When it evaporates in the air, if inhaled, it will initially irritate the respiratory tract, causing cough and asthma. If inhaled for a long time, it may damage the nervous system, make people dizzy, weak, and even in a trance, affecting daily behavior and thinking. And it is difficult to degrade in the environment, and if it accumulates, it will be sewage and soil, endangering all living things.
Although ethyl acetate is fragrant, it is also harmful. If its vapor enters the body, it irritates the eyes and nasal cavity, causing discomfort. If the skin is often touched, it may cause allergies, redness, swelling and itching. In the place of use, if the ventilation is not smooth, the steam will gather, and it will burn in case of open fire, or even explode, endangering people and property.
Therefore, when using dichloromethane and ethyl acetate, you must be cautious. The place where you work should be well ventilated to reduce the accumulation of steam. People should also be equipped with protective equipment, such as masks, gloves, goggles, etc., to prevent their harm. Only in this way can you ensure personal well-being and protect the environment.
