Is tungsten carbide spraying harmful to human body?

       Many people say that for the sake of your health, it is best to advise you not to enter a carbide factory, but is there any basis for this statement? Today, let's talk about whether the tungsten carbide spray produced by the cemented carbide factory is harmful and harmful to human health.

 

Tungsten carbide is a cemented carbide material. The most commonly used tungsten carbide raw material in industrial production is tungsten carbide powder, which is used in many tungsten carbide technologies, including tungsten carbide spray technology. We know that ordinary dust is harmful to the human body, so is tungsten carbide powder also harmful to the human body?

 

Foreign chemical and physical studies have shown that tungsten carbide powder can be stabilized by albumin or serum in nutrient solution. The addition of albumin to nutrient solutions can be studied under conditions very close to the human body, and the uptake of tungsten carbide nanoparticles by cells can be detected using electron microscopy.

 

Subsequent biological tests showed that the individual tungsten carbide nanoparticles were not toxic.

In fact, precisely because tungsten carbide does not have any toxic side effects on the human body, it is widely used in many occasions, especially in certain consumer industries, such as making rings.

 

In addition, there is a tungsten carbide powder in which cobalt is added, namely tungsten carbide, tungsten and cobalt nanoparticles, which have certain toxicity to the human body. However, this toxicity requires higher concentrations to have deleterious effects. Scientists still don't know why the combination of tungsten carbide and cobalt would become more toxic.

 

Usually, the tungsten carbide powder that comes into contact with in daily life will not cause harm to the human body.

 

Of course, in order to avoid adverse effects on human health due to exposure to large amounts of tungsten

 

Personnel working in the production or processing environment of tungsten carbide should go to the hospital regularly to check whether the tungsten content in the body exceeds the standard through medical monitoring.

 

Environmental workers in the tungsten carbide spray industry should take measures such as wearing a gas mask, gloves, eyes, and dust-proof clothing.

 

The company needs to take measures to prevent dust leakage, and conduct workshop cleaning and industrial waste disposal in a timely manner to prevent secondary pollution.

 

Although our daily exposure to tungsten carbide powder will not harm human health, employees in the tungsten carbide production and processing industry should still produce and process in accordance with formal operational requirements, and wear necessary masks, gloves and other labor protection supplies. Di has always put the health and safety of its people first.
