Maine, Some children suffer from poisoning in Maine United States last year from an unusual source of the family car. Local authorities said the cause is the bench seat in the car.
The bench has been blamed for a possible source of contamination of the workplace affected parents. "Parents get the contamination of the clothing used while working and sat on the bench the family car," said Tina Bernier of the Maine Department of Health and Human Services, as quoted from MSN on Monday (8/24/2009).
Bernier added that working parents should work to change clothes before getting into the car when I got home so that contaminants do not come into the car. However, it was rather difficult to do.
Material that is harmful to children is a metal commonly found in paint and gasoline fuel or car. This material is extremely harmful to the brain, kidneys and other organs of the child. Some exposures can cause coma, health problems and even death. For low levels can reduce intelligence, causing hearing problems and other problems, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Earlier in 1978, the government has banned the use of harmful paints. More than 30,000 new cases detected each year through blood tests. The government thinks that there may still be more that 240,000 children may have undiagnosed problems.
This problem was not only come from a family car paint, but also from the house being renovated or damaged homes. However, some cases have not been able to determine what the exact source.
The researchers also examined the family vehicle and found high levels on the bench, floor of the car. In certain cases found to originate from a metal material from outside the car is brought into the car by an adult.
For that, check back every cleanliness and safety of your family car, so that children do not get the risk of poisoning due to dust or materials contained therein.
