The kitchen faucet is a frequently used kitchen and bathroom facility in our home. We need to use the tap water flowing out of the faucet every day for boiling water, cooking, washing vegetables, etc., which shows the importance of the faucet in the lives of ordinary people. But you know what? A small faucet is very likely to hide hidden dangers that threaten our life and health!
Testing experts tested the overnight water of 10 households and found that the lead precipitation in the overnight water samples of 3 households exceeded the standard. Lead is a heavy metal chemical element. On July 23, 2019, lead was included in the list of toxic and hazardous water pollutants (the first batch), which is one of the three major heavy metal pollutants and is a heavy metal element that seriously endangers human health. , too much accumulation in the body may lead to lead poisoning, endangering life and health.
So where did the lead in this overnight water come from? It turns out that under normal circumstances, tap water is weakly acidic, and if it stays in the tap for a long time, it is easy to cause the metal pollutants in the tap to precipitate and dissolve into the water, causing water pollution. The content of lead, copper and other metals in the water-passing parts of some faucets exceeds the standard. These substances that are harmful to the human body are precipitated and dissolved in the tap water and then consumed by people, and they are easily deposited in the human body, which will pose a threat to health in the long run. Therefore, if we want to use the faucet without turning on the faucet for a long time, we must first let the water flow for a while after it is turned on, and remove the overnight water with more precipitates.
However, this approach is only a temporary solution. To truly obtain healthy and clean tap water, the material of the faucet is fundamental. my country's testing standards for faucet materials stipulate that the parts of the product in contact with water should not use corrosive materials, should not cause harm to human health, and should not cause any changes in water quality, appearance, taste, smell, etc. to drinking water. The faucet we choose should meet the national standard, and secondly, it is best to use low-lead copper material, so that the content of lead and copper precipitated into the tap water will be lower.
Choose a faucet with healthy material, I recommend 304 stainless steel kitchen faucet. This faucet is made of 304 stainless steel for food contact from the inside to the outside. It does not contain lead elements and meets the national standard. The characteristics of anti-oxidation, corrosion resistance, and not easy to rust and scratch make it also have excellent quality and simple appearance. Atmospheric, suitable for daily use in ordinary families.
There are often hidden health and safety hazards in some small places in our daily life that we do not understand. For the health of ourselves and our families, we must keep our eyes open when decorating and buy environmentally friendly products that meet the national standard.
