In a few days, it will be the 'June 1st' Children's Day. The festival is right. I believe that many parents will bring their children to play in the park or the amusement park in the shopping mall. However, the reporter recently visited the amusement parks in several parks and shopping malls in the central urban area and found that some of the bright-looking amusement facilities have many hygienic and hidden dangers.

Phenomenon

The pool water turns black and green, and the chair hides dirt

At about 11 am on the 26th, the playground in the Jiangbin Sports Park was a little quiet. Some of the boats of the 'Water Music Boat' were covered with spider webs, the bottom of the pool was covered with moss, and the water had turned green. Thick dirt can be clearly seen under the seat of another water equipment, 'Tiao Tiao Bao', while the inside and belt of the 'Ring Ring Sports Car' is covered with dust. 'The water in the pool was changed yesterday, and it looked dirty because of the rain,' said one manager.

Although the children's amusement park in East Lake Park has not yet arrived, many parents have brought their children to play. For the 'Water Music Boat' project here, the water in the pool has turned black, and the bottom cannot be seen, and a few mosquitoes are hovering on the water. The reporter asked the staff on the side 'how often to change the water', she said 'frequently'. When the reporter asked again, she replied: 'It's not for children to go swimming.' The water of another water project 'Huaguo Mountain Rafting' was green. Dirt has also accumulated on the seat handles and armrests of some recreational items. On the edge of the playground, the reporter also found a sanitary corner behind a swinging boat project. It was blocked by equipment and was full of dust. Abandoned wooden ladders, old plastic chairs, bicycles, decoration waste materials and other garbage were randomly placed.

At a playground in the Fuwen Temple Square, the equipment was covered with canvas because it had just rained, but some discarded beverage bottles and paper scraps soaked in water could still be seen under some of the equipment.

Children play 'closely' but there is no standard

In addition to going to outdoor playgrounds, many people also take their children to small amusement parks in shopping malls, thinking that indoor places are cleaner.

There is a children's playground on the negative first floor of Rainbow Shopping Mall which just opened to the public on the 27th of last month. On the morning of May 26th, several children were already in it, and some children were drinking milk tea in the venue. Although it has just opened for business, the dolls on some projects are already stained. When the reporter asked if, the staff said: 'Every day, mix water with clean water to scrub.'

Outside this children's park, there is another beach park that opened earlier, and the toys on the 'beach' are not very clean. The same is the problem, a staff member said: 'We are regular, but it is not clear how often, I just came a few days ago.'

The children's theme park on the 3rd floor of Yunlu Road International Trade Mall stipulates that 'shoes are strictly prohibited to enter the venue', and it does not stipulate whether socks must be worn. Sure enough, the three mothers on the field were all barefoot. A young mother originally wanted to bring her children in, but she flinched when she saw the sight. 'Parents will carry a lot without socks. I think not only socks, but also sterilized shoe covers.' Here The staff said that the venue is open every day. When the reporter wanted her to show the record, she replied, 'You don't believe you can come and see us at night.'

Damaged and rusted equipment

The reporter found that in addition to sanitation problems, some outdoor playground equipment has hidden dangers. In Jiangbin Sports Park, on some swaying and vacated project chairs, the belt buckles or armrest chains are rusted, and some damaged belts are knotted and continue to be used, which really makes people sweat.

Compared with Jiangbin Sports Park, the children's playground in East Lake Park is relatively new. However, some of the rattan at the bottom of the seat woven from rattan in the 'Swinging Flying Chair' project has been damaged. One of the steering wheels of two cars in the 'Mini Shuttle' project is missing, revealing sharp plastic breaks. 'When a child is sitting in a car, it is very likely that his center of gravity will be unstable and his face will hit the steering wheel during driving, which is very dangerous,' said Mr. Liu, who brought the child to play.

In addition, some of the amusement equipment wires are exposed in these two children's parks.
remind
Wash hands thoroughly immediately after play
'The climate is humid now, and unclean toys are easy to breed mites.' Li Zhimin, deputy chief physician of Quanzhou Dermatology Prevention and Control Institute, said that if children are bitten or infected by mites, they are prone to rashes and dysentery. And some diseases such as viral influenza, hand, foot and mouth disease, etc., are more likely to be transmitted to each other in places where children are more concentrated.
He reminded parents not to take their children to public places if they find itchy skin or fever symptoms. It is also necessary to protect children in peacetime. After playing in public places such as amusement parks, children must wash their hands thoroughly immediately, and play in unsanitary places as little as possible.
