    There are more mosquitoes in the summer, especially in the two days of rain, mosquitoes love to go home
    .
    In order to repel mosquitoes and worry that the mosquito repellent liquid is poisonous, many parents will specially choose the mosquito liquid that is printed with the words "pure natural", "for babies" and "for pregnant and infants"
    .
    Is mosquito repellent liquid for children safer and more effective? Is pure natural more effective? Hear what the experts say! Case of online purchase of baby mosquito coil but found to contain toxic ingredients? Nanjing citizen Ms.
    Zhou bought mosquito repellent liquid for her baby on the Internet two days ago.
    Before buying, she specifically asked the seller whether the product was poisonous, and the other party clearly replied that it is non-toxic and harmless
    .
    "But when I received the goods, I discovered that the cost table actually contained toxic propargyl methrin
    .
    " Feeling cheated, Ms.
    Zhou filed a complaint with the Yuhuatai District Market Supervision Bureau
    .
    After the law enforcement officers intervened in the coordination, the seller expressed grievances
    .
    The staff of Tiexinqiao branch told reporters that the seller provided a test report from an authoritative testing agency, indicating that the electric mosquito repellent liquid sold was a qualified product, and the package was clearly marked as containing 0.
    8% propargyl permethrin, suitable for infants, pregnant women and Generally used by families who are allergic to anti-mosquito drugs
    .
    All mosquito repellent products contain pyrethroid pesticides Yesterday, a reporter from Modern Express visited a large supermarket in Xinjiekou
    .
    It turns out that all mosquito and insect repellent products are marked with the content of active ingredients
    .
    In addition to propargyl, there are also cyfluthrin, permethrin, cypermethrin, permethrin and other ingredients, the content of which is basically between 0.
    1% and 1.
    2%
    .
    Hong Hua, a senior engineer of the National Pesticide Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center (Nanjing), told reporters that these are basically low-toxic pyrethroid pesticides and are the effective ingredients of household hygiene insecticide products
    .
    "So it must be normal to contain propargyl methrin
    .
    " However, Hong Hua said that if long-term exposure, it will cause dizziness, headache, neuropathy and even nerve palsy and other symptoms
    .
    ? Modern Express reporters also noticed that some products on the shelves are set for children, and the price is nearly twice as expensive as the general mosquito repellent liquid of the same specification.

    .
    However, if you look carefully at the implementation standards, the heaters implement GB/T18418
    .
    The reporter's inquiry found that this national standard is the standard for "household hygiene and insecticide electric mosquito repellent liquid", which does not distinguish between adults and children
    .
    The mosquito repellent liquid itself implements corporate standards, which are different from one company to another
    .
    Experts "children" and "pure natural" are all gimmicks.
    Hong Hua explained that although there is a national standard for mosquito-repellent incense liquid, it does not clearly stipulate the relevant content standard.
    Instead, it is clear that mosquito-repellent incense liquid must have a pesticide registration certificate number or a temporary pesticide registration certificate.
    No.
    , and pesticide production approval document number or production license number
    .
    Therefore, the choice of mosquito-repellent incense liquid is not based solely on the content of the standard active ingredients, but to observe whether the product packaging has the pesticide registration number and production approval certificate
    .
    So what is going on with mosquito repellent liquid for children? Hong Hua said that the country does not distinguish between children's and adult mosquito coils.
    Children's mosquito coils are just selling concepts or making gimmicks
    .
    "It may reduce the content of active ingredients, but after the reduction, the effect of mosquito repellent may also be reduced
    .
    " In addition, Hong Hua said that the "pure natural" mosquito repellent liquid also has a question mark
    .
    "Pure natural means that no chemical ingredients are added, but all the pesticides are approved for the production license number.
    How can it not contain chemical ingredients?" He advised consumers to buy mosquito coils as much as possible from regular stores to buy branded products, depending on whether they are labeled.
    There are pesticide registration certificate number and product standard number
    .
    Pay attention to keeping ventilation when using
