Not long ago, a parent shared a scary experience online. When my daughter was playing with the glow stick, the glow stick broke and liquid splashed into the eyes, causing corrosion to eyes, causing partial fall of , causing retina to fall off.
The glow stick dance that is very popular on the Internet has been very popular recently. However, parents should pay attention that the fluorescent stick may be bent repeatedly or even bitten in the hands of their children. The fluorescent sticks will break and liquid leak out. The fluorescent sticks we buy will usually break after 8-10 times, and brightly colored liquid will flow out.
So what are the ingredients of these liquids?
Through the ph test strip detection, it was found that the liquid of the fluorescent stick was weakly acidic. Through detection, it was found that the fluorescent stick contains fluorescent agent , which contains acidic substances such as fluorescent agents, oxalic acid, phthalic acid, and o-dimethyl ester. Most phosphors contain densely-ring aromatic hydrocarbons, which are often carcinogenic. You may not have any obvious feeling when you eat it. It is shiny and bright in color, and children may accidentally eat it.

What is the principle of glowing sticks?
The main active ingredients of fluorescent rods are peroxide , diaryl oxalate and fluorescent dyes. The reaction of diarrhodium oxalate and peroxide forms an unstable intermediate to decompose a large amount of heat, and energy is transferred to the fluorescent dye, which emits the fluorescence we see. Among them, the perhydride is generally hydrogen peroxide , which has strong hydrogenation and is highly corrosive to the skin and mucosa. Among them, diarrhodium oxalate, ester solvents and fluorescent dyes are relatively less toxic. If you contact a small amount of oxalate, you will only feel dizzy and nausea at most. If you have long-term contact or take it in large quantities, it will cause serious cancer-causing consequences to the human body. .
The hazards of fluorescent sticks
Put the chicken feet into the fluorescent stick liquid to simulate human skin. Through experiments, it was found that a large number of bubbles immediately appeared on the surface of the chicken feet. After ten minutes, the overall whiter became much whiter, the bones also turned whiter, and the cartilage became softer and softer.

So what should children deal with it urgently when they accidentally splash the liquid into their eyes while playing?
First, rinse with a lot of water in . A large amount of cleaning within ten seconds can minimize the harm, and then seek medical treatment in time .
