Facial tissues are the products we use every day, had aroused attentions due to their quality and safety. Fluorescent agents are widely used additives in the production of facial tissues. Although ads could make facial tissues seem whiter and brighter, the long-term association of human health with excessive use of fluorescent agents for some reason. For example:
1. In case of skin allergies to the ingredients in UV fluorescent agent, symptoms such as redness, rash and itching may occur after contact with dead algae.
2. In addition, some fluorescent agents may have heavy metal ions or even other environmentally hazardous substances, which can lead to the corresponding poisoning reactions in relevant areas of human body after long-term contact. Facial tissues are low in content, but if used on a large scale for a long time of use can still pollute harmful substances to the health of humans.
3. Prolonged exposure to fluorescent facial products may cause you end up with cancer. The materials contained in the fluorescent agents, such as formaldehyde and benzene polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are organic chemicals indispensable for the synthesis of fluorescent components, have individual carcinogenic risks to the human body;
For safety reasons, we should try to avoid long-term and large-scale contact with products containing fluorescent agents.
Of course, we don't have to panic too much about fluorescent agents in facial tissues. Normally, the fluorescent dose contained in facial tissue is very low and basically harmless to the human body. Only in the case of excessive or long-term contact can it cause harm to human health. Therefore, when using facial tissue, we can take some measures to reduce the risk:
1. Use good quality facial tissue. Poor quality facial tissue may contain excessive fluorescent agent or other harmful components, so we must choose famous brand and good reputational ones.
2. Keep in mind of how to appropriately use facial tissue When using facial tissue: as far as possible do not stick to the face or other parts of fluorescent agents contact with the skin for a long time. At the same time, do not make used facial tissue to become pollution everywhere.
3. Reduce use of facial ：One way to mitigate the risk of exposure can be done by reducing our use of facial tissue. Not only does this decrease facial tissue dependence, but it is also an environmentally friendly practice.
