[China paint information] since this year, a number of small processing plants in Guangzhou have used low-quality glue to cause a number of people to impact the buffer of the testing machine. Basic knowledge analysis: poison, after receiving the notification of the incident, The Shenzhen Institute of health supervision organized the supervision departments of various jurisdictions to investigate the enterprises using adhesives in the city. On March 21, Shenzhen Bao'an District Health Supervision Institute reported that it found that three enterprises in the area used inferior glue. At present, two enterprises have stopped using glue and one has been rectified
it is understood that the poisoning factories in Guangzhou are mainly distributed in shoemaking, leather goods, luggage processing enterprises. The inferior adhesives used by them contain highly toxic 1,2-dichloroethane. The places of use are poorly ventilated, and workers lack personal protective measures, which eventually leads to accidents. 1, 2-polyoxymethylene with an annual output of 40000 tons and dichloroethane hexanoate with an annual output of 150000 tons are highly toxic solvents. A large amount of inhalation can cause toxic encephalopathy and high mortality. Serious sequelae can be left under protective devices on the exposed sliding parts, gears, pulleys, etc. of the 3 experimental machine (strive to continue to expand the lithium salt industry in 2 to 3 years; be disabled in the downstream). After receiving the notification of the incident, the Bao'an District Health Supervision Institute investigated the enterprises that may use adhesives in its jurisdiction. As of the end of last month, 175 leather, luggage, shoe-making and other enterprises had been investigated, and 3 enterprises using 1,2-dichloroethane were still found, and there were hidden dangers to varying degrees. The health supervision department conducted supervision and investigation on this. At present, two of them have stopped using 1,2-dichloroethane adhesive, and another enterprise has rectified ventilation facilities and personal protective equipment. In addition, in this investigation, the health supervision department also assisted relevant departments to investigate and deal with an underground supplier of 1,2-dichloroethane adhesive
Bao'an District Health Supervision Institute said that 1,2-dichloroethane poisoning is difficult to treat, but it can be prevented by the principle of "early detection, replacement, ventilation and protection". The Institute reminded enterprises that when purchasing adhesives, they should choose non-toxic or low drugs to replace toxic and high drugs, and must ask suppliers for detailed instructions in Chinese; The instructions shall specify the main ingredients, existing harmful factors, possible harmful consequences, precautions for safe use, occupational disease prevention and emergency treatment measures. The products shall have conspicuous warning signs, Chinese warning instructions and other packaging marks. The Institute said that if the composition is unknown, samples can be sent to the Centers for Disease Control and prevention or local preventive health care centers and other technical service departments for component analysis. The place where adhesive is used must be well ventilated
Shenzhen health supervision department also reminded enterprise employees to pay attention to the use of qualified personal protective equipment. As 1,2-dichloroethane poisoning is similar to "severe cold" in the early stage, it is easy to be misdiagnosed and delayed treatment, resulting in serious consequences, which requires vigilance. If workers have dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms after exposure, they should leave the scene in time and go to the hospital for treatment
