Fiberglass is glass fiber, and the hazards of fiberglass to the human body include contact dermatitis, conjunctivitis, lung lesions, asthma, and so on.
Glass fiber is a commonly used inorganic non-metallic material, and its main component is silicon peroxide. There are certain hazards for people who are often exposed to glass fiber.
1. First of all, glass fiber in contact with the human body for a long time may cause damage to the human skin barrier, resulting in blisters, contact dermatitis and so on.
2. Secondly, after prolonged contact, glass fibers with small diameter may be deposited in the mucous membrane of the eye, which may cause conjunctivitis, keratitis and other eye diseases for a long time, such as photophobia, tearing and other symptoms.
3. In addition, under long-term exposure, people may inhale the small glass fibers into the lungs, but it is difficult to actively discharge or absorb, so it may stimulate the lung tissue collagen hyperplasia, fibrous parcels, nodules, etc., that is, the emergence of occupational diseases in the “pneumoconiosis” .
4. In addition, glass fibers may also irritate the bronchial tubes and other parts of the body, leading to the occurrence of bronchitis and asthma.
