Give the child a sand pool, then a shovel, a bucket, and a few simple molds. The child can dig and dig out a new world. You can't imagine how creative they are.
However, what some parents cannot understand is that some outdoor sand pits have been replaced with white and thin white sand like snow. Will this fine sand be raised and blown into the children's eyes?
After verification, the relevant departments believe that this snow-white sand is quartz sand and meet the design requirements. So, is quartz sand suitable for children to play? Is there a more safe sand? In response to this, the reporter from Red Star News contacted a professional to answer.
Children's Paradise Baisha
Citizens reported: The sand in the children's paradise is too thin and easy to catch your eyes
Recently, Ms. Liu, a citizen of Chengdu, reported to Hongxing News that the sand in the beach in the Children's Paradise of Donghu Park has been replaced with pure white small sand. This kind of sand is very thin. When the child raises the sand with a shovel, it is easy to raise dust and blow into the eyes of other children, and his own children will almost be "hit". What is the situation with
? On the 15th, the reporter came to Donghu East Garden, located outside the east fifth section of the Second Ring Road, Jinjiang District. From the entrance of the East Lake Park Subway A, you can see the park gate. When you enter the park, you can walk directly through a boulevard. You can see the children's playground on the side of the road by walking about two or three hundred meters. This small children's playground covers an area of about 60 square meters. There is also a children's slide in the circular beach. Although the area is not large, it is a sand digging destination for children. Looking around, many children are digging sand in it. Some parents were too lazy to move and watched from the side, while some parents joined in and played with their children.
reporter noticed that these sands are as pure white as snow, and compared with ordinary sand, the texture is more like fine salt. When you look closer, these sands are very delicate and light, and are not as big as ordinary yellow sand. The reporter observed the scene for several hours and found that no child was raised and blown into his eyes because the sand was too thin.
Some parents on the scene told reporters that when they were taking their children out for fun, they found that many parks and attractions in Chengdu had such fine white pits. Among them, Mr. He, a citizen, believes that this kind of white sand looks comfortable and may be a good choice. "Some naughty children will deliberately raise the sand, so that other children's heads and faces will easily be sprinkled. However, this is not a question of whether the sand is fine or not, even yellow sand will do this." He believes that the reason for the controversy is that it is the question of whether parents are responsible or not.

Related departments: This is a highly anti-pollution quartz sand
For some citizens, Chengdu Cultural Tourism Development Group Co., Ltd. also gave a reply.
After verification, it turned out that the facilities in the children's area of Donghu Park were old and damaged, and the original sand pit was built with a lot of slag, which poses safety hazards. Therefore, the park has recently upgraded the children's area and added some children's play facilities. It is understood that the white fine sand in the sand pit is now quartz sand, which has strong pollution resistance and long service life. This material meets the design requirements, with uniform particles and no slag.
Industry insiders: sea sand freight is expensive, quartz sand is cost-effective
So, which sand is suitable for children to play with? Which ones are more secure? In response, the reporter contacted a merchant selling various types of stones.
merchants said that there are two main real sand on the market now, one is natural and the other is processed. The most safe and best quality now is the whitened sea sand, which is the product after screening, grinding, cleaning and drying of ordinary sea sand. Purchasing sea sand requires higher transportation requirements and higher prices, and the unit price is more expensive than quartz sand.
In outdoor sand pits, some people will use construction sand directly, which is relatively poor. Not only is it dirty, but it also has different particle sizes and is easily affected by moisture.
Finally, white sand - quartz sand. According to reports, white sand is crushed and processed with quartz stone . It basically has the main characteristics of sea sand and is low in price. It is produced and sold in many places. It can be said that the cost-effectiveness is the highest. White sand is easier to dust than processed sea sand, but this material does meet the general outdoor sand pit design requirements and is most common on the market.
