In the region about the dangers of burning trash
14 March at 16:47 in M. Borshchev outside on the former (defunct) sugar refinery there was a fire of household rubbish in an area of about 10 sq. m. the Fire was extinguished by on-duty guard of the 8th state fire and rescue unit Management. The reason for its occurrence and property damage are established. The Department of Public service of Ukraine on emergency situations in the Ternopil region urges citizens to refrain from burning garbage! Beginning in spring and continuing to late autumn, people often carry out the burning of crop residues and debris. However, in doing so, often do not realize what harm caused to the environment and your health’Yu. Because the combustion products can enter the environment, disperse in the air. And that's with the air in the lungs rushes suffocating smoke, and with it – various toxic and harmful chemical substances released in the combustion process, including lead compounds, mercury and other heavy metals. The main component of smoke is – carbon monoxide or carbon monoxide-a potentially deadly compound, since it is very easily absorbed by the blood hemoglobin, blocking oxygen delivery to the tissues of the body. The heart begins to run better, adding to the risk of exacerbation of cardiovascular diseases. In combination with other pollutants such as industrial emissions or exhaust gases, toxic effect of carbon monoxide increases significantly. Other pollutants – rtant that may not pay attention to the person with good health, seriously worsen the condition of people with asthma, chronic bronchitis or predisposed to respiratory diseases. They irritate sensitive nerve endings in the bronchi, causing bronchospasm – the sharp compression of the bronchi, leading to suffocation. In damp foggy days of microparticles that comprise a smoke, are firmly contacted with water vapor, forming a "smog", which is especially harmful to the respiratory system. Products based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC), for example, scraps of linoleum, some kinds of packaging, toys, leatherette, fabric coated with polymer film, the remains of insulated electric cable and others during combustion to form a number of extremely dangerous toxins. Anyone who dares to burn in the fire wastes, especially those that contain PVC, exposes the dangers of this hazardous chemical compounds not only own, but also health’I others. Another source of dangerous combustion products are synthetic materials containing nitrogen, such as nylon, some acrylic and polyurethane foams, widely used for stuffing sofas, armchairs and mattresses, and sometimes for the manufacture of mats with a foam lining. All these items are responsible for a high number of deaths in fires – due to poisoning by cyanide, which are formed during combustion. Synthetic materials, which are pure hydrocarbons, such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene, do not cause much harm, if you burn at high temperature – they just turn into carbon dioxide and water vapor. But the fire temperature is not enough – these materials often smolder slowly, forming a dense black smoke containing carcinogenic hydrocarbons and acrolein. When burning particleboard, fiberboard and plywood that contain large amounts of formaldehyde resins, during combustion of dangerous substances – Ciani and formaldehyde. Citizens, do not burn rubbish – don't pollute the air, take care of your own life and health’I!Ïåðåâåäåíî ñåðâèñîì "ßíäåêñ.Ïåðåâîä÷èê": translate.yandex.ru.
