Be careful when touching the receipt.




The results of a BPA concentration analysis of 54 SNU Graduate School of Health and Mart Calculator, If you touch it with a lotion, it will absorb better.


The concentration of Bisphenol A (BPA), the environmental hormone, is doubling just by touching the receipt with bare hands, according to a study. Although it is a research paper that was conducted by the Mart Calculator, consumers are also advised to be cautious as they are exposed to receipts in their daily lives.

BPA is one of the environmental hormones that can disrupt the endocrine system when it enters the human body. They are mainly raw materials such as plastics, epoxy, and resins used in water bottles, sporting goods, and coating materials of cans. Adults who weigh 60 kilograms are allowed to consume 3 . per day.

Professor Choi Kyung-ho of the Graduate School of Health at Seoul National University (SNU) said on Monday, " We measured the concentration of Bisphenol A in urine according to the treatment of thermal paper on 54 middle-aged female cashies with an average of 11 years. "

Thermal paper used in a mart is a form of paper that has a fine combination of dye and developer. Usually, if you go through a head that applies heat to a transparent but printed part, the dye and the phenomenicant combine to undergo a chemical reaction, and only the parts affected by the heat change into black light.

The research team compared the concentration of Bisphenol A urine in the same period as when the calculator was not wearing gloves and handled the receipt for two consecutive days.

As a result, the concentration of Bisphenol A in urine, which was handled with bare hands during work, was 0.92, which is 2.04 times higher than 0.45 before work. On the other hand, the concentration of Bisphenol A when working with gloves was 0.51 before work and 0.47 after work.




The study also observed the correlation between Bisphenol A and diabetes. A calculator with high levels of Bisphenol A that are exposed to a receipt has high levels of insulin resistance as well as high levels of hunger.

Professor Choi Kyung-ho explained that the research result shows that a cashier who treats receipts professionally can almost reduce the exposure of BPA by wearing gloves.

The risk dispute over Bisphenol A receipts is not what happened yesterday. Studies have shown that touching a receipt with lotion on one's hands can be absorbed better, and that if the bisphenol is absorbed through the hand, it will stay in the body longer.

Because of this, BPS receipts that replace BPA were introduced at some companies. However, research team explains that even if it is not BPA, Bisphenol's receipts are found to have similar levels of risk.

" The problem is that it is difficult to reduce the risk to the human body just by replacing the BPA component, " Choi said.
As smartphones are replacing receipts these days, it is desirable to dispose of them immediately, even if they are inevitable, rather than receiving paper receipts after buying them.

LG air conditioner error code

These days, when the weather suddenly gets hot, you might to consider to turn on the air conditioner. It is the air conditioner which turns on in a year, so it will be dusty. Please clean the air conditioner filter first. When you turn on the power, you will see an error code blinking on the temperature display. So you're probably searching for an eagle because you see it :) In my house, the CH38 error code of the air conditioner is in operation year, last year, and this year again. It keeps rising. The error code CH38 is a lack of refrigerant, and last year and last year, we didn't get it all. And again this year, there was no cold wind coming out of the air conditioner, and it went off automatically with a sudden CH38 blink. I called the service center, and luckily, it wasn't the peak season so I got the engineer same day. Note that the air conditioning service is often not fixed at a time because of the possibility that the initial install...

Replace the filter for the Winix air purifier

It's been two years since I bought a Winix air purifier. When I was a year old, I even texted them to change my filter, but since it's two years old, they're silent. So I just changed myself. Changing the filter is not difficult at all. But the price is only high. The air purifier costs 200,000 won, but the filter costs 50,000 won. Some filters are for air cleaners. Think of it as a profit structure similar to a printer company like HP. Printer is not more expensive than I thought. It's just expensive ink. Maybe we should buy stocks because air purifiers are expected to make steady profits. Is it any impression that Winix has sold so much air cleaner since its beginning, that its stock price is rising higher? The subject is off the top. :) Back to the main subject The air purifier I use is the Winix Tower AEN 331-W0. It's a circular filter. All prototypes of Winix air purifiers are compatible. Filter use is basically one...

Poor service of Urive Black Box.

Poor service of Urive Black Box. The black box I installed in my car was almost three years old, and I had a little problem. In January, the screen went dead, so I sent the service center. Since the warranty period was over, I paid 60,000 won(about US$60) for it. But there's no power at all this month. Should I send this service again? Should I just buy a new one? I was lastly trying to figure out by myself where the black box power line was connecting. finally, I noticed a thin wire is broken inside the glass tube fuse. It wasn't a problem with black box equipment, it was a glass tube fuse. I'm calling the the Urive call center to buy a glass tube fuse. I followed the way that call center's guideline I went to the service center in Suwon because operater said I could get it if I visit it. However, It's not close to my home. When I visited the service center, engineer say it could not be fixed because the service center is not under ...
