The materials meet the safety standards.
According to Yan Naxin from the Mass Sports Department of Beijing Sports Bureau, the public materials used in the community are mainly iron, and some of them are wrapped in plastic (hard PVC), which is both beautiful and durable. As a material, PVC has been widely used in industry and daily necessities, but whether it is harmful to the environment and human health has always been the focus of debate. So, are there any toxic hazards in the public materials we are using at present?
Experts believe that PVC is a kind of polymer material, which usually contains lead, cadmium, phthalates and other substances harmful to human body, and some even are carcinogens. Not long ago, the European Union issued relevant documents that some phthalates and their metabolites and degradation products will cause damage to organs such as liver, kidney and testis of human body (especially children).
Zhan Shanbo, Equipment Center of the State Sports General Administration, said that the State Sports General Administration attached great importance to mass equipment, and in 2003, it promulgated the General Requirements for the Safety of Outdoor Equipment, which came into effect on March 1 2004. This article makes strict regulations on the use and safety of materials for fitness equipment. Mr. Zeng, Deputy Secretary-General of China Plastics Association, believes that there are strict technological requirements for the production of plastics in China at present, especially for the dosage of additives containing harmful substances. Even in the case of direct sunlight and high temperature in summer, the slow release of harmful substances in the material is within a safe range and will not have adverse effects on the human body. Therefore, public fitness equipment can be safely used.
Public fitness equipment should be disinfected regularly.
According to Li Bizhong, a researcher at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, due to pollution and other reasons, the number of bacteria and other microorganisms in the air is considerable, and the total number of bacteria can reach about 654.38+00,000 per cubic meter. The human body carries more bacteria, which can spread colds and pneumonia, and can also cause typhoid fever, dysentery, infectious diarrhea and viral hepatitis. Therefore, from the epidemiological point of view, the use of public fitness equipment is easy to cause the epidemic of infectious diseases. Therefore, the cleaning and disinfection of public fitness equipment is particularly important.
Yan Naxin of Beijing Sports Bureau introduced that the disinfection management of public fitness equipment adopts territorial management, that is, which community is responsible for the disinfection management of equipment. During the SARS period last year, the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau made strict regulations on the disinfection management of public fitness equipment. In view of the recent SARS cases in Beijing, the Beijing Municipal Sports Bureau is drafting new regulations on disinfection management of public fitness equipment to prevent public fitness equipment from becoming the source of epidemic diseases, which will be announced in the near future.
It is suggested to build a sink in public fitness places.
Professor Ceng Guang from the Institute of Infectious Diseases Prevention and Control of China Center for Disease Control and Prevention believes that contact with public facilities is inevitable. In order to avoid catching diseases or infectious diseases, in addition to strictly disinfecting the public fitness equipment in each community, individual bodybuilders should also develop good living habits after using public fitness equipment.
People should wash their hands immediately after using public fitness equipment. Don't wash your hands, don't eat, don't smoke, don't rub your eyes directly. Children should not wash their hands and put their hands in their mouths after touching public fitness equipment, which will spread diseases. Professor Ceng Guang suggested that hand sanitizer and disinfectant paper towels should be used before and after touching public fitness equipment, if possible. * * * Facilities construction should also be strengthened, such as building hand-washing pools in public fitness places and providing hand sanitizer and soap to avoid the epidemic of diseases.
