The sea is the cradle of the earth, and seafood is also favored by many parents with his low-fat and high-protein. He hopes that his children can use seafood more to supplement their nutrition, but Xiaoyu (a pseudonym) in Xiamen supplements this. In addition to wrong. Most other babies over 1 year old will walk and call Mom and Dad, but Xiao Yu can't be very proficient at crawling and often cry. Upon inspection, Xiao Yu was exposed to high levels of mercury in children. The culprit turned out to be parents' favorite seafood.
At present, the Xiamen City Maternal and Child Health Hospital is sampling 3,000 blood samples, urine samples, and hair samples from children under the age of 7 in the entire city to detect the level of lead and mercury exposure. The reporter learned from the city’s Maternal and Child Health Hospital yesterday that, from the current statistics, the problem of mercury overage among children 0-3 years old in Xiamen is quite prominent. In the sampled individual communities, the mercury exposure rate reached 53%. According to Chen Guixia, deputy chief physician of Children's and Children's Health Care Department of Xiamen City, they carried out this test, which is a cooperation project between the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China and the World Health Organization in 2010-2011. Now that some of the results have been sorted out, the final result has yet to come out. Time.
“The sampling results of our currently-completed 0-3 year-old children show that the issue of excessive mercury levels deserves high attention!†said Chen Guixia. In the sampled individual communities, the mercury exposure rate reached a maximum of 53%. In other words, of the 100 young children aged 0-3 years in these communities, there are 53 normal lines that meet or exceed the mercury content. According to U.S. standards, exceeding 2 μg/kg has exceeded mercury, and the domestic standard is 10 μg/kg.
According to Chen Guixia, lead and mercury are heavy metals, which are harmful trace elements. When they accumulate more than a certain amount, they will have toxic effects on children's growth and development and affect children's nervous system development.
The results of this sample survey showed that children exposed to the smallest high-level mercury in Xiamen were only more than 1 week old. At present, this child has abnormal liver and kidney function, and there are obstacles in language, movement, and interpersonal communication. The doctor learned in further understanding that this child often eats large deep-sea fish such as sharks in his daily diet.
It is understood that doctors in Xiamen also found out during the outpatient visit that some high-level mercury exposures in children have caused parents to give their children too much habit of feeding marine fish and seafood. Now the environmental pollution in the sea has become a global problem, and seafood will also be contaminated by heavy metals. Similar to sharks, swordfish, and goldfish, these fishes have a long life cycle, and their mercury content is higher than other fish. In addition, Chen Guixia also reminded parents that, in addition to selectively feeding children with seafood, they should also pay attention to the issue of excessive mercury in cosmetics. Mothers who routinely take care of infants and young children must not wear makeup.
Doctors remind that lead, mercury, and other heavy metals can accumulate in the human body and can be transmitted from the mother to the fetus and infant through the placenta and breast milk. Therefore, mothers of women of childbearing age should be required to go to the hospital for mercury detection before pregnancy.
As a result, parents have to pay more attention to it. Even the company claims that it has grown naturally. There is absolutely no seafood that has been spawned by agricultural chemicals because of the pollution of heavy metals. The ocean has taken revenge on human beings time and time again, and environmental protection has become increasingly urgent.
