What is "chemical residue" and what are its hazards to us?
"Chemical residue" refers to traces, remnants, or residual substances of chemicals left behind in a process, product, or environment. These chemical residues can originate from various sources such as chemicals, medications, pesticides, cosmetics, food processing, industrial production, environmental pollution, among others. Chemical residues are typically substances that have not fully decomposed, dissolved, or been removed.
Chemical residues can raise several concerns, including:
- Food Safety: Residues of pesticides, fertilizers, preservatives, and other chemicals in food processing, agriculture, and aquaculture may be present in food, negatively impacting human health.
- Medication Residue: In processes such as pharmaceutical production and medical equipment cleaning, medication residues left in products may cause discomfort or adverse reactions in patients.
- Environmental Pollution: Factors such as industrial wastewater, air emissions, and chemical waste disposal can lead to chemical residues in the environment, affecting ecosystems and water sources.
- Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Some cosmetics and skincare products may leave chemical residues on the skin, causing allergies or other skin issues.
Monitoring and managing chemical residues are highly critical in ensuring personal or public health and environmental protection. In the context of dry ice cleaning, our company places particular emphasis on this matter. We do not use any chemical substances in the dry ice cleaning process, ensuring that no chemical residues are left on the cleaned surfaces. This makes dry ice cleaning particularly suitable for industries where residuefree conditions are crucial, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries.
