Sihaiwang: leukemia is a kind of malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Clinically, there will be anemia, hemorrhage, infection, fever, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, bone tenderness and other symptoms. Leukaemia is becoming a kind of occupational disease in practice. Is it easy for decoration workers to get leukaemia? How can leukaemia be prevented?
Does decorator get leukaemia easily
There is no exact high incidence population of leukemia. Except for the long-term exposure to toxic or radiation environment, there are some differences among different types of high incidence population of leukemia.
Leukemia can be divided into acute and chronic. The incidence rate of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (U) is increasing with age. It is more frequent in children under 14 years of age and over 60 years old. Clinically, as small as a few months, as old as 80 years old patients have. Another acute myeloid leukemia is like many other diseases, and the incidence rate increases with age, and the elderly are more susceptible to disease.
Decorators are not necessarily susceptible to leukemia.
What causes leukemia
So far, the exact cause of leukemia has not been found. Generally speaking, there are three kinds of influencing factors.
The first is poison exposure. At present, it has been proved that benzene and its derivatives are the chemicals that can lead to leukemia, most of which exist in rubber and dyes. The relationship between formaldehyde pollution and leukemia is the most common in family decoration, but there is no exact clinical evidence. In addition, some chemotherapy drugs may also lead to secondary blood tumors.
The second is radiation. Leukemia may be induced when the whole body or part of the body is exposed to medium or large doses of radiation. Nuclear power leaks, for example, have been shown to cause leukaemia in nearby residents.
Finally, there are some specific viruses. Such viruses are rare in our lives, so we don't have to worry too much about them.
How to prevent leukemia
Insisting on physical exercise can strengthen the patient's physique and prevent the invasion of foreign virus. A strong constitution is the best barrier against the virus. In addition, we should be optimistic and positive. It's also a great help to increase your immunity.
Careful use of drugs, drugs have two aspects, can inhibit the disease, but also lead to its disease, so we should pay attention to the drug use, so as to avoid chemical damage to nitrosamines, Baotaisong and its derivatives, chloramphenicol and other drugs can also induce leukemia, we should try to avoid using them. The unclean work clothes of breastfeeding parents will also bring harm to the baby if they contact the baby.
Radiation will constitute the detection of many diseases. Now technology is very developed. Many people need to use computers in their work and study. In addition, people also have a lot of electrical radiation in their daily life, which is very harmful to human health. Therefore, if you want to protect against leukemia, you should not spend too long playing computer in your daily life.
Hazard factors of occupational diseases of fitters
Formaldehyde mainly exists in the decorative materials made of urea formaldehyde resin and phenolic resin, especially in the content of artificial board and adhesive.
Benzene and its homologues include benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene and other paints mainly used for decoration, additives for various paint coatings, diluting various adhesives, waterproof materials, etc. Benzene is volatile, especially in summer.
Ammonia mainly comes from the concrete admixture used in the construction, especially in the concrete wall in winter, urea and ammonia water are the main original concrete antifreeze. With the change of temperature and other environmental factors, ammonia is recovered to form ammonia and the concentration of ammonia in the indoor air increases.
In addition, some radioactive substances, such as radon, mainly come from stone materials, such as granite, marble, gypsum, building ceramics, ceramic tiles, etc.
Dust is the main cause of respiratory diseases of fitters. The inhalation of sawdust, cement dust, silica dust, gypsum dust, ceramic dust and organic dust from cattle during the repair process can cause pneumoconiosis, dust calmness, chronic inflammation of respiratory tract, etc.
How to prevent occupational diseases for fitters
When carrying out decoration work, doors and windows shall be opened to keep indoor ventilation. Unused paint, coating, etc. must be covered for storage. To reduce volatilization. Wear gas mask when painting, painting, waterproof treatment, etc. When grinding, cutting floor tiles or tiles, wet operation shall be used as much as possible, and dust masks shall be worn. Wear earplugs or earmuffs when carrying out noisy work, and clean up the waste decoration materials in time.
Decoration work shall be carried out in high temperature season as much as possible, because the amount of harmful gas released increases with the increase of temperature; continuous working time shall be shortened, work break shall be arranged properly, fresh air shall be breathed outdoors, and it is better to shower all over the body after work.
Decoration workers should have the awareness of improving their health protection, and conduct occupational health examination at least once a year, especially for those who often contact with benzene containing materials or stones with high suspected radioactivity, they should make blood analysis and test regularly, and tile workers and carpenters who contact with dust should take X-ray chest films, etc. In addition, in case of poisoning due to accidents or excessive concentration of volatile poisons, the fitters shall leave the site immediately, transfer to the fresh air, remove the contaminated clothes, clean the skin with clear water, etc., and timely go to the hospital for treatment.
