Not everything is as new as possible. It is reported that buying second-hand goods will greatly reduce the risk of being attacked by toxic substances, and can save money and kill two birds with one stone. The following five items might as well try to choose second-hand goods. Let's follow!
1. furniture
New furniture produced harmful substances, mainly free formaldehyde, easy to make people dizzy, nausea and other discomfort, and even cancer risk. New furniture in use or vacant for 3 ~ 6 months, harmful gas will basically volatilize. Buy second-hand furniture, you can avoid environmental pollution.
2. book
Some books do not use environmental protection ink, especially some pirated books. Ink thinner has skin irritation and toxicity. The ink contains lead, which will weaken the human immunity. Second hand books don't have the above worries, and the harmful substances will gradually disappear over time.
3. Children's clothing
Baby's colorful and expensive clothes may have hidden health crisis. Children's body is very delicate, if inhaled clothing dye formaldehyde components, it is easy to appear fatigue, insomnia, headache, cough and other symptoms, skin long-term contact with formaldehyde will also cause skin rash. And second hand clothing because has been repeatedly washed, formaldehyde and other harmful substances will be washed away. Therefore, for the sake of baby's health, the best way is to "pick up" the clothes left by the children's relatives and friends.
4. automobile
The harmful substances emitted from the interior of new cars have a great impact on the human body, mainly including benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, inhalable particles, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, bacteria, mold and so on. This is the reason why many people feel dizzy when driving new cars. What needs to be reminded is that used cars within one year may also have pollution risk. It is recommended to buy second-hand cars for three or four years.
5. Fitness Equipment
Many people feel this way when they use new treadmills and massagers, "I don't know where to squeak" and "it's very hard.". Like a new car, fitness equipment also needs to be run in. After three months to half a year, all parts can run smoothly after running in. Therefore, as long as the parts are not missing and the function is normal, the second-hand fitness equipment is the best choice.
Please think twice before you buy the following second-hand goods
Car seat
In traffic accidents, car seat damage is a very common phenomenon. It is recommended not to buy used seats. It is difficult for us to understand the background of the use of these seats in the past. If some parts of these seats (including the instruction manual) have been lost, damaged or recalled, it will be very dangerous to use these seats. Plastic aging, cracks caused by long-term compression, and even collision may cause hidden trouble of used seats, which may lead to failure of used seats, which can not play their due protective role in traffic accidents. In addition, if you want to buy a second-hand child seat, you should carefully check the seat that has been used for more than 5 years to determine its safety before use, and never buy the car seat with the longest service life.
Helmet
Like a car seat, the helmet is also used to prevent accidents. A study of motorcyclists and motorcyclists wearing safety helmets found that people without safety helmets were three times more likely to have head injuries than those wearing safety helmets. After the second-hand helmet has experienced the impact accident, its manufacturing material strength to damage, weakened the due protection function, even if the appearance is good, the safety performance is also reduced a lot. Since you can't infer whether the inner structure of a helmet is damaged, you should choose a new helmet.
Notebook computer
Most of the second-hand notebook computers have wear and tear on the surface of the keyboard, such as small scratches, surface wear, etc.; the serious performance is the shell fracture, large area of discoloration.
Battery is the biggest consumable of notebook computer and has the shortest life. If it is used frequently, problems will appear in about one and a half years. Most used laptops have a short battery life, usually less than an hour.
mattress
Think about what you've done with your mattress. Think about what it would be like to sleep on a mattress that someone else has used. If you buy a second-hand mattress, you may come into contact with other people's body debris and bacteria growing on the old bed. Crafty retailers often cover used mattresses with a new quilt cover. Of course, some used mattresses can still be considered. When "used" mattresses are virtually unused mattresses, for example, from rarely visited guest rooms, you can consider purchasing them.
