Food safety has always been one of the most concerned topics, because it involves everyone's daily life Recently, after the poisonous cowpea, ginger and leek, the poisonous herbs incident broke out again, causing everyone's uneasiness and panic So what are the consequences of long-term consumption of vegetables and fruits with pesticide residues? Cai daochun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of traditional Chinese medicine, said that if poisons enter the human body, the human body will be poisoned Chronic poisoning refers to the small dose and long-term entry of poisons into the human body, without obvious symptoms in the short term But the long-term accumulation will affect the liver, kidney, brain, even affect the immune function, leading to induced diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, and even cancer Poisons can affect the growth and development of teenagers, and even affect the fetus and children through placenta price or lactation According to the investigation report released by the World Health Organization, the retention of agricultural residues in human body will not only cause chronic poisoning, but also bring genetic risk It can be transferred to the next generation through embryo and milk, which may lead to three malignant consequences: carcinogenesis, infant deformity and gene mutation So, what are the symptoms of pesticide residue poisoning? Taking the most common organophosphorus pesticide (belonging to phosphate ester or thiophosphate compounds) as an example, the symptoms of acute poisoning mainly include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, lethargy, sweating, salivation, dyspnea, convulsion, coma, etc.; the symptoms of chronic poisoning generally include headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, anorexia, blurred vision, etc These symptoms are common in pregnant women and children, and are often ignored as common cold and heatstroke In fact, almost all agricultural products in China have been sprayed with various pesticides in varying degrees According to some data, China uses 1 million tons of chemical pesticides every year for melon and fruit agricultural products, and 70% of them are highly toxic organic pesticides Therefore, Chinese people seem to be indifferent to the abuse of highly toxic pesticides Jiang Gaoming, of the China Plant Research Institute, said he had witnessed the death of cancer among farmers who often sprayed pesticides However, as a market means to improve the efficiency of commodities, China's vegetable planting is still inseparable from high toxic pesticides It is generally believed that farmers eat pesticides just like people do However, some farmers who have a strong sense of harm to highly toxic pesticides will separate the vegetables and fruits they eat from the vegetables and fruits they sell to the outside world The vegetables they eat would rather be eaten by insects than pesticides Biological enzyme technology is the best choice for the public at present In this case, how can the public remove agricultural residues? Some insiders said that in addition to the current genetically modified technology for future food, citizens can choose to use biological enzyme technology to remove agricultural residues in food According to the industry insiders, the biological enzyme technology is a kind of biological technology that decomposes macromolecular agricultural residues through the degradation principle It can not only completely clean the food polluted by toxic chemicals such as organic phosphorus and chlorine liquid, but also directly degrade the agricultural residues on the food to no harm For example, this time's poisonous herbs can be soaked with biological enzymes before they are boiled In addition, biological enzyme technology is also a good helper to remove agricultural residues of fruits and vegetables According to Wu Fengning, a researcher in Agricultural Science in China, there is no difference in the ordinary cleaning process of fruits and vegetables Citizens only need to put fruits and vegetables in water, add a little biological enzyme, soak for a while, and the pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables will be degraded by biological enzyme Moreover, the enzyme itself is non-toxic, non corrosive, non irritant, and non irritant to the skin, so it is very suitable for pregnant women and children to use, which can be said to be the safest and most effective way to remove the agricultural residues of food In such an embarrassing moment, we have to sigh the magic of biological enzyme technology When the wild herbs in the beautiful situation of "Panasonic asks the children, and the teacher picks herbs" can no longer meet the market demand, the life-saving herbs will become poison; when the market pressure forces the efficiency to improve, the fruits and vegetables will also contain pesticides In order to improve the living environment, in addition to the improvement of consciousness, science and technology in the new era should also be innovated.
