There is a fundamental difference between napkins and toilet paper. The production process, quality and hygiene standards of napkins and toilet paper are different and cannot be replaced by each other. Napkins have strict disinfection requirements, and they are made of original pulp. Toilet paper is basically made of recycled pulp. Therefore, when people wipe their mouths with toilet paper, scraps of paper will fall down. This is the reason why they use recycled paper. Therefore, for customers in the meal, it is best not to use this inferior toilet paper.
It is understood that napkin is called tissue paper according to the national standard, including facial tissue paper, wipes, etc., while wrinkled toilet paper is ordinary household paper, which can not be used in meals《 According to the light industry standard of the people's Republic of China, there are different standards for tissue paper and wrinkled toilet paper in terms of raw materials, hygienic standards and quality standards. For example, according to the requirements, the production workshop of tissue paper must be disinfected and isolated according to the standard of disposable sanitary products, while the production workshop of tissue paper has no special requirements; Tissue paper must have an independent minimum package to ensure that it is always kept in a state of sanitary isolation from the outside world from the factory to use, while toilet paper can generally use large package; Toilet paper only limits the total number of bacteria, and tissue paper is refined to limit the number of each kind of bacteria. Generally speaking, the paper pulp used for a better napkin or tissue paper is better, and the recycled paper will not be used for repeated processing, so the hygiene requirements are higher; And toilet paper is mostly processed with recycled paper, the degree of hygiene is relatively poor.
Long term use of poor quality toilet paper is easy to cause disease
According to the relevant personnel of the health supervision department, if the long-term use of poor quality toilet paper is a potential safety hazard. As the raw material of poor quality toilet paper is made of recycled paper, the raw material itself has been polluted, containing a lot of bacteria, heavy metals, fungi, and so on. In addition, the factories that make these papers are basically small workshops without license, and the disinfection measures are limited. Some bacteria that must go through strict disinfection procedures to be killed may remain in poor-quality toilet paper. If this kind of inferior toilet paper is used as a napkin, it is easy to wipe a large amount of bleach, whitening agent, and other toxic substances and bacteria in the paper onto the mouth, and then eat them into the stomach.
Long-term use of this paper infected by different bacteria is easy to cause disease. First, it may inhale harmful fungi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, etc., which may cause enteritis, typhoid, dysentery, and other diseases, and some may also carry hepatitis bacteria; Secondly, the whitening powder is added in the poor quality toilet paper, so a large amount of dust may enter the human respiratory tract and cause irritation to the respiratory tract; Third, it can stimulate the skin and cause skin allergy. Therefore, in daily life, napkins should be used correctly after meals, not cheap toilet paper as napkins.
There are strict hygienic standards for toilet paper and napkins, and the former is much lower than the latter.
Therefore, experts warn against using toilet paper as napkins, because toilet paper may contain more fluorescent substances and fungi. It is worrying that the number of molds in some napkins and toilet paper exceeds 60%.
Experts believe that excessive mold is a potential threat to the human body, because mold is not sensitive to general drugs or compounds, and the harm to the human body is more serious, difficult to cure, and even a case, a few years old girl unexpectedly got gynecological disease, after investigation, dirty toilet paper is the culprit.
According to the results of laboratory examination, many toilet paper has not been disinfected or disinfected thoroughly, which contains a large number of bacteria and is not hygienic. Only after strict disinfection of high-grade toilet paper or napkin, is hygienic. If you have doubts about the disinfection quality of toilet paper, put the paper in the sun for 1 hour before use.
From the point of view of hygiene, only the toilet paper and napkin made of pure wood pulp, which has not been polluted, are harmless to health.
