Faucet Heavy Metal Pollution and Human Health
Lead harm to human body: Children's physical resistance is poor, the absorption rate of lead is more than 5 times that of adults; and the sensitivity to lead is extremely strong, and the amount of lead in 100 ml of blood reaches 50-60 micrograms enough to poison. This figure is only about 80-100 micrograms for adults. In addition, the damage to the nervous system is also very worthy of attention and can easily cause nervous system disorders. Chronic lead poisoning causes children's psychological and physiological functions to be impaired. Acute lead poisoning shows mental sluggishness, severe convulsions, coma, etc., and ultimately life-threatening. The total IQ, IQ, and language IQ of children with high blood lead are significantly lower than those with low blood lead.
The harmful effects of lead on adulthood are also very serious: lead pollution is harmful to reproductive capacity, kidney function and nervous system, but also can cause hypertension and dementia. Especially if pregnant women have high levels of lead, it will not only affect personal health, but also directly affect the health of the fetus, leading to excessive levels of blood lead in the infant.
