    Introduction: Although the bleach is put in the tap water for sterilization, but it will be harmful to people's health if it exceeds the standard Here is an introduction of the harm of the bleach in the tap water to people Our life can not be separated from tap water, which should have been a kind of sanitary and safe drinking water However, due to the environmental pollution, a large number of harmful substances such as bacteria in the water are breeding In order to inhibit and kill the bacteria in the water, chlorine is added in the process of water treatment So what's the harm of excessive bleach in tap water? If there is no chlorine in tap water, it will be more unsafe The chlorine in the tap water comes from the process of sterilization and disinfection of the water after it is taken from the natural water source The common disinfectant is chlorine Chlorine dissolves in water and further reacts to generate hypochlorite (at this time, if the hardness of water is relatively large, the so-called bleaching powder component will be produced due to the presence of calcium ions, but it just sounds terrible On the one hand, calcium hypochlorite is a strong electrolyte, and there is no independent calcium hypochlorite molecule in water On the other hand, hypochlorite root itself is unstable, and it is impossible to transport it for a long time After Cheng, it is still large enough to make the water white The most likely reason for the white color of the water is that the content of bubbles in the water is too large, and we can rest assured that the bubbles can not be chlorine because chlorine is yellow green, and the strong oxidation of hypochlorite can kill most of the pathogenic microorganisms in the water Chlorine is generally supersaturated in the tap water The purpose is to make the tap water have a certain amount of chlorine (residual chlorine) in the whole long transportation process from the water plant to the residents' home Chlorine is a certain biological toxicity, otherwise it will not be used as a bactericide, but its toxicity is relatively easy to control However, the chlorine content of the general tap water will not exceed the standard, because the general tap water company will have a pond to observe the movement of the fish If the fish has an abnormal reaction in the water, it will prove that the water quality is defective, and it can not flow out, so there will be no problem in general If you drink water with excessive chlorine, you should pay attention to it, because it is toxic to eat too much chlorine You should go to the hospital in time for treatment Many foods use bleach, so is it safe to bleach? In fact, if it is used according to the national regulations, it will not be dangerous Now the state has a food safety detector, which can quantitatively detect 50 parameters in the food on the spot So that we can eat more safe food, more food safety knowledge in the hundred safety net Editor in charge: he xianrob
