      Living in a city, everyone needs to take various means of transportation. Many modern vehicles use gasoline as power, such as cars, motorcycles, airplanes, etc. Therefore, everyone cannot do without gasoline as a power fuel.

      These aviation gasoline, vehicle gasoline and solvent gasoline are all more harmful to the human body. Because these power gasolines have a certain amount of tetraethyl lead added to prevent shocks and explosions, they are also called ethyl gasoline. When ethyl gasoline is burned, tetraethyl lead decomposes and releases lead, which is emitted into the atmosphere with the exhaust gas. The lead that people breathe into the body will accumulate in the blood, which in turn will cause harm to the human body, including those in the abdomen of pregnant women. fetus Harmful, can cause lead poisoning and congenital developmental abnormalities of the fetus. In particular, the fetus will suffer greater damage due to insufficient resistance. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid smelling gasoline too much.

      If the gasoline is siphoned through the mouth or the gasoline is stuck on the hands and is mistakenly taken into the mouth, it will be absorbed through the digestive tract and cause serious poisoning. Therefore, pregnant women should not be engaged in the production, preparation or storage of tetraethyl lead, ethyl solution and ethyl gasoline. 》》》 Six types of pregnant women who should not drink milk
