Xinhuanet Shenyang July 23rd (Reporter Wang Bingkun, Chen Guangming) The reporter recently learned from some hospitals in Liaoning that the number of patients with gastrointestinal diseases caused by drinking fountain pollution has increased significantly recently. Experts remind that in the summer, we should pay more attention to the health and safety of water dispensers.

Anshan Central Hospital of Liaoning Province recently received a visit to Ms. Hou who was unwell due to unhygienic water. Ms. Hou often drinks pure water from the office water dispenser. Recently, she felt that the bottled water began to produce some strange smell, and the smell became more and more intense. She also often had stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, nausea and other symptoms. A few days ago, she asked the waterman to check it, only to find that the water dispenser was full of dirt and pungent smell. Ms. Hou found the cause of physical discomfort and rushed to the hospital for inspection.

It is not uncommon for a situation like Ms. Hou. The personnel of Anshan City Health Supervision Institute introduced that now “drinking machine + bottled water” has become a necessity for people’s daily life, but the drinking fountains in most places have not been cleaned up by special personnel, and few people pay attention to their health problems. In the summer, bacteria can easily breed in hot and humid environments, and the water dispenser can easily become a breeding ground for bacteria. Once the bacteria invades the water inlet of the water dispenser, the pure water will be polluted and cause harm to human health.

According to the professional, the water dispenser should be cleaned once a month. When cleaning, the water in the water dispenser should be emptied once through the emptying valve, and the place where it comes into contact with the bottled water should be removed. Wipe clean with a soft cloth. At the same time, people should focus on disinfecting the inner casing of the water diversion machine, the filter faucet and the intermediate pipeline. First, soak the relevant plastic parts with disinfectant dilution solution for half an hour, then rinse it with clean water, and soak it in clean water for one hour. Just fine. In order to avoid excessive chlorine odor, the first few glasses of water can be discarded.
