Painter furniture factory dry month "brain poisoning" death boss shouted innocent

In August 2009, Mr. Liu came to work at a furniture factory. Previously, he had been doing paint work for more than 10 years.

But this time it took only two or three months. From time to time, he felt dizzy, vomiting, and could not remember things.

At first, Mr. Liu thought that there was a problem in the stomach and he went to the Zhengzhou People’s Hospital for an examination. The doctor said that the stomach was normal.

Mr. Liu went back to work. After working for a day, he felt powerless and the boss asked him to go home and rest.

Mr. Liu returned to his hometown of Anhui.

On January 13 of this year, he went to a hospital in Anhui for an examination, which was found to be brain poisoning. The cost of more than 20,000 yuan still cannot be cured, and it died on the 30th of that month.

Mrs. Yao’s wife, Ms. Yao, said that due to the poor work environment provided by the furniture factory, there was no protection measure and the working time was long, causing her husband’s brain poisoning and death.

Therefore, she asked the owner of the furniture factory, Mr. Ye, to compensate his total cost of 200,000 yuan.

"The paint will be OK once or twice. Will you be poisoned to death?" Mr. Ye says that his furniture factory has been in operation for several years. He has used many painters and he has been disgusted and nausea. But he never heard of it. I did not hear that the paint will die of brain poisoning.

Mr. Ye said that Mr. Liu was sick in his brain. "The diagnosis they took has proved that I also read it. The doctor also said that the brain poisoning is accumulated for a long time." He has been doing it for more than 10 years. "I'm here." It took less than four months."

Mr. Ye said that because the workers' working hours are variable and their liquidity is strong, they have not signed labor contracts with workers. However, he and Mr. Liu’s “leader” signed a labor contract.

Regarding the protection measures and working hours, Mr. Ye said: “The working hours are usually seven or eight hours. The factories are equipped with masks and gloves. However, it is not necessary for workers to wear them when they are working. Some workers are in trouble. Do not wear."

How likely is the painter's brain poisoning?

According to the data, most paints are highly lipophilic and easily pass through the cell membrane and accumulate in the central nervous system. Therefore, it can easily cause brain cell damage and induce toxic encephalopathy.

For example, chronic solvent poisoning syndrome, chronic painter's syndrome, and neuropsychiatric disorders are typical examples.

The reason why the paint is easy to induce neurological lesions is because of its own neurotoxicity, such as toluene toxicity. The second is the role of dissolved solute, such as lead, cadmium, manganese and other heavy metal ions.

According to the research report, long-term exposure to paint can make people fatigue, memory loss, and lack of concentration, and it can lead to persistent personality and emotional changes such as fatigue, emotional instability, and decreased self-control and autonomy. Heavier mental health, dementia, loss of working ability and so on.

Epidemiological surveys conducted by experts in USA showed that the incidence of Alzheimer's disease was significantly higher among workers exposed to paint.

According to the relevant provisions of the Occupational Disease Prevention Law and the Regulations on the Use of Toxic Substances in Labor Protection, if the worker is diagnosed with an occupational disease, but the employing unit does not participate in the work injury social insurance in accordance with the law, the medical and living security shall be used by the latter. The employer assumes that the employer afterwards has evidence that the occupational disease was caused by the occupational disease hazard of the previous employing unit and is borne by the previous employing unit.

Foreigners like to brush their own paint, do not make protection

Are they not afraid?

Let me talk about the little knowledge of paint.

Coatings currently on the market are mainly divided into water-based coatings and solvent-based coatings. Wall latex paints are generally water-based paints, and most wood paints for doors, windows, and furniture are oil paints such as lacquer and polyester paints. They are solvent-based paints that contain toxic components themselves and are diluted. In addition, a large amount of toxic solvents such as banana water and natual water must be added, and the formaldehyde, benzene, and xylene contained in them are toxic carcinogens. In Europe, the EU countries have gradually and completely banned the production and sale of solvent paints since 2004, allowing only the production and sale of waterborne paints.

Water-based paint is a product diluted with water. It has lower formaldehyde and lower aromatic hydrocarbons than traditional solvent-based paints. It is safe, environmentally friendly and non-toxic. Compared to solvent-based coatings, aqueous coatings avoid the volatilization and release of many harmful organic solvents. Waterborne wood coatings have been widely used in China in recent years.

In some film and television works, we often see romantic protagonists (mainly in Western developed countries) brushing their own walls, brushing the shots of furniture, and even painting paint on each other. They do not seem to care that lacquer will cause harm. In fact, they use water-based paint that is non-toxic and environmentally friendly.

If you want to DIY in the decoration, don't forget to buy water paint. Another reminder is that as long as you do not completely use clear water as a thinner, you must add other diluted ingredients. This is not a true water-based paint.
