[Chemical Knowledge]：Be alert to the harm of ethyl acetate and protect your health

Ethyl acetate is a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent odor. It is mainly used in the manufacture of chemical products such as spices, coatings, glues, and hair gels. Although its chemical properties are stable, but because of its volatile, soluble in fats and organic solvents, there are many potential hazards.

First, ethyl acetate is a toxic compound. Long-term exposure to ethyl acetate can cause certain damage to the human body, resulting in impaired neurological function, liver, lung and other internal organs. For chemical practitioners, if they do not take protective measures, they may inhale, ingest or contact ethyl acetate unconsciously during work, resulting in acute or chronic poisoning, and even life-threatening.

Secondly, ethyl acetate mixed with other chemicals is easy to cause an explosion, causing direct harm to the human body. Moreover, the ignition point of ethyl acetate is low, which is easy to leak and cause fire.

In addition, ethyl acetate will also cause harm to the ecological environment. Because ethyl acetate has a certain volatility, incomplete volatilized ethyl acetate will enter the atmosphere, pollute the air quality, and long-term inhalation will also affect people's health.

Therefore, the harm of ethyl acetate should be prevented as much as possible. Avoid long-term contact with ethyl acetate to reduce the risk of contact with ethyl acetate. In the process of chemical production, we should strengthen production safety, strictly abide by the requirements of safety production, and use more environmentally friendly and safer alternatives as much as possible. In the process of storage, transportation and use of ethyl acetate, safety measures such as fire prevention, explosion prevention and leakage prevention should also be paid attention.

In short, the harm of ethyl acetate cannot be ignored. We should attach great importance to its health risks and effectively protect the health of ourselves and others.
