According to the latest medical research in Spain, more than one kind of organic pollutants have been found inside the bodies of respondents. It is said that the organic pollutants enter the human body through food, water and air and they can be accumulated in the fat tissues inside the human body. According to the medical research in Beijing, the breast milk contains various kinds of organic pollutants, such as polychlorinated biphenyl and organophosphorus pesticide. It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the appearance of toxic substances contained in daily articles for use. If people are familiar with these chemical substances including their toxicity and their roles, they can understand the appearance of these toxic substances in various things surrounding us. For example, both chlordecone and lindane are insecticides. They can be used to kill the injurious insects for people and increase the output of crops. However, at the same time, they can cause many troubles for people to deal with. Many years ago, the words of "environmental protection" were not produced. However, in recent years, people can see these words everywhere. Whether reading newspaper or watching TV, people can come across "environmental protection". Organic pollutants have already become a nightmare of the human beings. The nightmare includes diseases, disasters and ruin. Take hexachlorocyclohexane as an example. Hexachlorocyclohexane can seriously destroy the central nervous system and affect the heart, liver and kidney. Generally speaking, hexachlorocyclohexane is usually used to produce pesticide. However, the pesticide can stick to the fruits and vegetables. Clean water can not remove the pesticide from foods, so the pesticide can enter the human body to cause various diseases. The hexachlorocyclohexane can be accumulated in the central nervous system and fat tissues to stimulate the brain and epencephalon. The vegetative nervous system and trophic balance can also be affected. In addition, the pesticide can also seriously pollute the environment to cause water pollution, air pollution and so on. Except the foods people eat in daily life, the melamine dinnerware also contains toxic chemical substances, such as melamine and formaldehyde. The melamine dinnerware is made of melamine resin which is a kind of high polymer made of melamine and formaldehyde under certain conditions. In fact, the dangerous factors can be removed if the manufacturers produce the dinnerware through a strict and scientific processing. In order to protect the environment and maintain the human health, the manufacturers should stop producing and using the organic pollutants like chlordecone.
