Dr. Rungruang Kitpathi, Director-General of the Department of Science Services (Eng.), Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (Eng.), said that according to the news of a young woman abroad. It was found to beCervical cancer
Pointing out the cause from the selection.Toilet paperortissue paperthat contains recycled pulp to wipe clean the body andreproductive organsregularly, causing shock to consumers Especially women who use tissue regularly.
From such news Currently there is noscientific evidenceThis clearly confirms the regular use of tissue paper to clean the reproductive organs. cause cancer in humans
However, if you want to use tissues to clean your body, you should choose those made fromvirgin pulpThat has been certified and used to suit the purpose according to use.
tissue paperDivided into several types according to their utility, including toilet paper, facial tissue. Napkin paper paper towel and multi-purpose paper towels which are both produced from virgin pulp (pulp from trees) and from recycled pulp
Tissue paper with recycled pulp as an ingredient. It will be made from used paper. brought to be heated Goes through the process of removing ink (Deinking) and forming a new image. with very high heat
Tissues made from recycled pulp are therefore milky white. Including roughness, not very smooth, lower quality than other types of tissue, cheap, some types have colors added such as pink or brown to conceal for users to overlook.
Generally there is a fluorescent residue. Because in the process of removing ink, the whiteness and brightness of the paper pulp will decrease, so bleach is added. or substances that increase causing residual fluorescent substances
Choosing to use tissue paper with recycled pulp as an ingredient, which may contain fluorescent residue. When used to clean the surface, the fluorescent substance is a substance that dissolves in water. Residue will be left on the skin and may cause allergic reactions or irritation in some people.
And studies have found that when fluorescent substances are exposed to radiation Ultraviolet (UV) from sunlight may induce skin carcinogens. Can cause skin cancer in the long term.
Director General of the Department of Science Services It is recommended that people should choose to buy tissues that do not contain recycled pulp. Look at the label which states that it is made from pure pulp and does not contain fluorescent substances.
However, some brands do not specify what type of pulp they are made from. There’s an easy way to test it yourself: dip a tissue in water. Then put it aside and leave it for a moment. The color on the tissue paper will change.
If any tissue paper changes color from white to dark, it means that the tissue paper contains recycled pulp. As for tissue paper made from virgin pulp, there will be no color change.
Or if you have a machine or flashlight at home that can be used to detect counterfeit banknotes. These machines have a UV light source that can be used to shine on tissue paper to detect fluorescent substances. If the tissue paper has a fluorescent substance added to it, it will glow, indicating that the tissue paper has recycled pulp as an ingredient.
If tissues must be used to clean the body and reproductive organs In addition to choosing tissue paper made from virgin pulp, it must be clean, dry, and not wet in order to prevent bacteria, mold, viruses, or other germs. that can grow well in wet tissue paper Touching or entering the body can cause serious disease.
