Whether thermal paper is poisonous or not, we have to see what components it contains and whether these components will cause harm to the human body. In fact, most of the materials made of thermal printing paper are healthy and non-toxic, but Due to the particularity of the way it records text, bisphenol A is added to the production material, which is harmful to the human body.
Bisphenol A, generally known as polycarbonate in the industry, its selling price is very low, many chemical products will use this material, especially plastic products, paper products, because the effect of this material is Waterproof and moisture-proof, it can also make the handwriting display more obvious. Although it works very well, according to relevant research reports, long-term exposure to this substance may cause infertility in men. It mainly affects the possibility of human infertility by stimulating abnormal hormone secretion. Researchers conducted a five-year experiment in which blood was drawn from people who were exposed to the popular printing paper and found some substances that affect male fertility. However, there are also related studies that have shown that bisphenol A cannot be transmitted through the skin, so this harm to the human body is accumulated for a long time, and it cannot cause harm to the human body all at once.
Now that everyone has understood that thermal printing paper will still have certain harm to the human body, then I will look at the data that has investigated the content of bisphenol A in thermal printing paper to learn to avoid more contact in life. .
The content of bisphenol A in thermal printing paper
In fact, the place where we often come into contact with thermal printing paper in our lives is the printing receipt of ATM machine. According to research, the content of bisphenol A in this paper is 0.9%. Secondly, we also touch fax paper in our lives. The content of bisphenol A was 1.3%.
It turns out that thermal printing paper is really toxic, but this harmful effect is a long-term cumulative effect. It does not cause harm to the human body upon contact, but a chronic and slow injury to the human body. So if your work really has a lot of contact with this kind of paper, you must pay attention to avoid it. According to the results of the research, especially men must pay more attention.
