The harm to the body caused by chemical plants

2010-06-18View Original

Thread Content

Is working in a chemical plant really that harmful to one’s health? I’ve been working there for 9 months now; I never used to catch colds frequently before, but in the past two weeks I’ve had a cold every day. It doesn’t even take a day for me to recover before catching another cold. How sad is that... Oh God, I’m still young...

It’s only true when pregnant women can’t be seen in the chemical plant

Working in a chemical plant for an extended period of time is certainly harmful to the body; volatile liquids, toxic gases, dusts, and similar substances can cause discomfort. If the amount absorbed exceeds what the human body can handle, it can lead to damage.

Shanghai is quite large, and the air conditioning and other equipment in chemical plants there break down much faster than in other places

It depends on the specific type of work one does. I work in a chemical plant as well, and our facility is one of the top ten cleanest facilities in the province. If you feel that you might get injured and cannot change the working conditions, then make sure to take precautions to protect yourself!

What was said upstairs is right; there are only two options: if you can’t change the environment, then adapt to it.

Don’t chemical plants generally cause pollution? So-called clean production merely means meeting emission standards, rather than producing no emissions at all

It depends on the type of chemical plant; the level of pollution varies

Once inside, have children as soon as possible, so as not to cause any harm to the next generation

Yes, chemical plants cause serious harm to one’s health. I’m 29 years old, and breathing in dust has damaged my lungs so much that I had to give up working in production and switch to a job in design

The poster must be young, right? The raw materials used in chemical plant production, as well as the production processes themselves, do involve many toxic and harmful chemicals. However, most chemical production takes place in enclosed environments these days, and the majority of companies pay attention to the occupational health of their employees. I have worked in chemical plants for over twenty years, focusing on production management; I have worked in both state-owned and private enterprises. It’s not as serious as you might think – compared to that, the pollution exposure associated with working in a chemical plant is certainly not as severe as that caused by vehicle exhaust on urban roads. Ten years ago, when I was working at a chemical plant, **I didn’t pay much attention to environmental protection; we also didn’t suffer any physical harm. I was exposed to many highly toxic chemicals, but my health indicators are now just as good as those of young people. So, one cannot generalize everything. At present, our chemical plant is working to optimize production processes and improve the working environment. At the same time, we conduct regular health checks for employees – such as pre-employment examinations, two check-ups per year during their employment, and examinations for employees who leave the company. Now the factory is built like a garden, with absolutely no odor. A cold is caused by a weak immune system; there are currently no substances in chemical plants that affect human immunity. It’s better to strengthen exercise and improve physical fitness.
