Does glass wool affect the human body? Glass wool contains almost no toxic and harmful substances, inhaling a small amount of glass wool is not harmful to human body; But long-term inhalation of glass wool is definitely harmful to the body, because glass wool is composed of glass fiber, long-term inhalation of a large number of glass fiber, if glass fiber deposition in the lung, will cause serious harm to the lung, namely pneumoconiosis change.

In nature, glass wool mainly exists in the form of fiber. It is a non-metallic material, but its advantages are widely used, such as thermal insulation, sound absorption and noise reduction, electrical insulation and chemical corrosion resistance. The main harm lies in the long-term inhalation of glass wool dust can lead to glass wool aplomb.

Respiratory hazards:

Workers exposed to glass wool, rock wool and mineral wool may have chest X-ray changes: pneumoconiosis changes. Lung function measurement forced expiratory volume was lower than normal, and lung function did not change much when exposed to lower concentrations, even for up to 20 years. Workers exposed to high levels of fiberglass dust experienced symptoms of upper respiratory irritation and asthma attacks. Glass fiber 0.50, 0.7 nanometers were detected in lung lavage fluid from patients.

The main hazards in the skin are:

If too much exposure may cause dermatitis, perhaps some workers can gradually tolerate it due to long-term work, a phenomenon known as "hardening". When the fibers were more than five nanometers in diameter, there was a significant stimulus effect. A few people develop skin allergies.

Xiaobian reminds you that in the future use (or production) of glass wool material products in the process of careful preparation, the protective measures to do, to protect health. Please proceed with the installation of glass wool step by step.

So in the use of time to avoid long-term contact with rock wool board, you can do some protective measures, such as wearing masks can also be.
