Is playing in inflatable pools safe for our kids?

AIMAN INAM

FLORIDA: Summer is going on and kids love to spend their time playing around in inflatable pool with their rubber toys. But do you think it is safe?

A nouvel study has asserted that inflatable toys and swimming pools (bathing rings and armbands) could augment the odds of mounting tumor and other health concerns of your child.

They claimed that typical odor that the toys and aids emit could have numerous perilous cancer-triggering substances.

Harboring on the subject, an academic from the Friedrich Alexander Universitat Erlangen-Nurnberg (FAU) in Germany, Christoph Wiedmer noted that such toys that discharge strange smell are toxins as they consist of detrimental chemicals like carbonyl compounds, cyclohexanone, phenol and isophorone.

Cyclohexanone can be injurious if breathed in, phenol is toxic and isophorone is a category 2 carcinogen that is believed to be the substance in the expansion of cancer.

So as to determine this, the panel of scholars has tried out an inflatable beach ball, a pair of swimming armbands and two bathing rings. They located the mentioned afore chemicals in those toys.

They rounded their study, publish in the journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, up by saying that produits like toys are manufactured by means of using hazardous chemicals.

However, it is getting difficult for us to detect those and their future affects on the little ones.
