According to the survey, disposable chopsticks hide three major hazards in addition to the large amount of wood consumed:
1. Damage to respiratory function: Disposable wooden chopsticks must be sulphur-fumigated during the production process. Therefore, SO2 can be released during the course of use to erode respiratory mucosa.
2. Damage to digestive function: Disposable wooden chopsticks are bleached with hydrogen peroxide in the production process. Hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive and causes corrosion to the oral cavity, esophagus, and even gastrointestinal tract; talcum powder is used in the grinding process, which is not clean and is slow in the human body. Slow accumulation can make people suffer from gallstones.
3. Infection: The shelf life of disinfected disposable wooden chopsticks is up to 4 months. Once the shelf life expires, it is likely to bring yellow bacteria, E. coli, and hepatitis disease. Most wooden chopsticks are generally transported over long distances. They have a long time to market and are easily overdue.
