Is it safe to wear shoes and take the escalator?

When we usually go shopping and take the escalator, we will see a reminder posted next to the escalator, reminding us not to wear hole shoes and take the escalator. Since so much attention is paid to reminding, there must be great security risks. Some people wear hole shoes to take the escalator, and there have been many safety accidents. For a time, is it safe to wear hole shoes and take the escalator? It has become a concern of many people.

Is it safe to wear shoes and take the elevator? First, the hole shoes are too soft and fit closely with the ground. On the elevator, the soles of escalators and ordinary shoes have enough hardness, and the comb-toothed plate at the exit of escalators can push the soles out when touching the shoes, so people just lose their balance, and the hole shoes are too soft, which is likely to be caught by sharp comb teeth, thus causing injuries.

Second, the texture of the hole shoes is too soft and very close to the ground. On the elevator, the soles of escalators and ordinary shoes have enough hardness, and the comb-toothed plate at the exit of escalators can push the soles out when touching the shoes, so people just lose their balance, and the hole shoes are too soft, which is likely to be caught by sharp comb teeth, thus causing injuries. It is conceivable that if a child with light gravity changes a pair of soft-hole shoes, the danger will definitely increase greatly. What's more, some 6-year-old babies always like to put their feet on the steps under the apron board when taking the elevator. Children's shoes are smaller. When they touch the apron board, they are likely to be caught in this gap under the action of friction. There are children running and playing on the escalator. These habits are "high-risk behaviors". Parents should pay more attention to children aged 3-6 taking escalators.

Can wearing hole shoes cause cancer? The product quality supervision department of AQSIQ specially organized and carried out the quality and safety risk monitoring of hole shoes products in view of the fact that hole shoes products may contain harmful substances. It is reported that the organization specially collected 70 batches of samples from the market, covering EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate * * *), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), PU (polyurethane) and other common plastic materials, and tested the contents of phthalates and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and the dissolved amounts of lead and cadmium in cave shoes. The test results show that * in 70 batches, from the material point of view, among 40 batches of samples containing PVC material, 26 batches have high phthalate content. It is worth noting that the phthalate content of low-grade (below 50 yuan) hole shoes is obviously higher than that of middle-and high-grade hole shoes.

In fact, foreign research institutions have long warned about the safety risks of hole shoes. A survey released by Germany's West Germany Radio Station shows that many plastic hole shoes contain carcinogens, which may be harmful to health. It is reported that researchers have found a large number of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in plastic shoes with different prices, which can enter the human body through the skin. In addition, some heavy metals that pollute the environment, such as chromium, cadmium and lead, were also detected in some plastic shoes.
