Did you know that tissue and sanitary napkins around us were also able to cause cancer?Dioxins, this substance that causes cancer, sometimes there is the tissue and used sanitary napkins. Not all tissue or a sanitary napkin containing dioxin, but if you are not alert to it, this could be fatal for your health.
What Is Dioxins?
Dioxins are compounds that are categorized as karsionogenik. Impact of dioxin poisoning is the long-term cancer and atherosclerosis, increasing the death rate reached 46% in some cases.Because the source of dioxins can be from different materials around us, the dioxin is a serious threat to human health, because it has negative effects can be achieved only at very low doses of a few parts per trillum in our body fat.
Dioxins are compounds that can disrupt the hormone system, which is joined by kaseptor hormones, thus changing the function and genetic mechanisms of the cell, and resulted in a very broad influence, namely cancer, lowered immune system, disrupt the nervous system, miscarriages the womb, and can cause birth defects (birth deformity).
Dioxins are directly able to reduce the B cells and indirectly reduce the number of T cells that play a role in the immune system. Being able to change the genetic function of cells, so it can cause genetic disease and can affect growth in children.
Where Is Only There Dioxins?
Dioxins are extremely rare in nature, mostly derived from the human dioxin. History of why the dioxin began to accumulate in the environment when the company founder, Dow Chemical (Midland, Michigan) to find a way to split the molecules of salt (NaCl) that broke up into sodium atoms and chlorine atoms.
Thus, it was a milestone in the history of mankind was first able to produce the amount of free chlorine on a large scale. Chlorine is called free because no compounds or attached to other atoms. At first, they were puzzled what to do with the free chlorine, which is waste that does not know its usefulness and is dangerous.
Generally dioxin produced by burning waste, a byproduct of pesticide products, the combustion of the steel production process or chemical process that uses a product as a bleach Chlor such as paper, plastic, T-shirt material and so on.
Dioxin compounds known as hydrophobic (do not get along with water). This means that if the dioxin in the water, will avoid the water and look for patches or into the body of the fish.Similarly, the mechanism of pollution on the way wild animals. Dioxins will search for attached animals and accessible. Which is unfortunate, humans do not have the tools and mechanisms that can destroy dioxin in his body and let yourself be broken by a half-life natural solution (chemical half-time).
From the results of EPA's evaluation (1994), has confirmed that dioxin is an organic compound most toxic to humans never know, very negative effects on health risks, even with very small doses of 10-15 ppt (parts per trillion), which accumulated during live. Based on this, the EPA set a threshold that allowed dioxin in the human body is approximately 0.006 pikogram (like million-million grams) per kilogram of body weight, or about 0.40 for an adult pikogram. While the dose that can be used reference is the ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake) of WHO is 1-10 pg / kg / day.
Dioxins are also included substance byproduct of the process of whitening (bleaching) which is used in paper mills, including factory sanitary napkins, tissue, sanitary pads and diapers (pads for the kids).
Common Raw Material Sanitary
This has become-so because of sanitary napkins are disposable products. because that's the producer of raw materials to recycle waste paper and pulp, making the basic materials to save costs. Raw material and paper from the paper, cardboard, cardboard, filled with bacteria and germs, and various synthetic dyes, and smelly.
In the recycling process, many chemicals used for bleaching process again. These chemicals are also used for the sterilization process germs in waste paper and removing the odor.
How to Examine Sanitary Berdioksin
Although there is no accurate data on berdioksin pads, but the women were asked if it would prevent the alert itself is not affected by cervical cancer.
To test whether the sanitary napkin berdioksin or not easy enough. Layer in the pad (like cotton) was opened and then put in the water. An hour later note, in these layers would be destroyed if it is made from recycled paper, but if the water became very turbid rendamannya whitish, it means your pads are not safe because they contain dioxin or substances that much bleach.But what if not destroyed, but the water cloudy? In this case you could say bandage still less safe because if destroyed already means a paper-based recycling. We can not predict how big dioksinnya levels, because testing is just a simple test without the help of sophisticated lab equipment. But the rest, if not destroyed, the pad is safe to use.
It's not a lot of women who know about it. They just knew more practical to use sanitary napkins during menstruation than using washable cloth like the re-era first lady.
Usually the pad is made from a mixture of old cardboard boxes, given the bleach and other chemicals. This is dangerous for a woman's sex organs. Similarly, should also be checked pantyliner own. Therefore, only natural that women today are often exposed to highly malignant disease, namely cervical cancer, breast cancer, cysts, and myom. As a result of the above diseases at a young age the uterus is removed, so do not have kids.
What about the berdioksin tissue? Did I test the same? Yeah same. But that's different is the tissue would be destroyed because the material was from the paper. But shattered when soaked not mean berdioksin. Tissue is considered to be dangerous when soaked for an hour, he then makes the water so turbid whitish rendamannya. This means that levels of dioxin or high pemutihnya.
But not means you are free tissue dioxin or safe when not making a turbid water immersion. To be safe, do not get used often put tissue for your nose plug when cold, use it to compress, and other actions that put the tissue for long on the face or your skin. Because we do not know how the tissue is safe for us and can not be known for certain whether the tissue from recycled paper or not.
