[Real-time] Does the company send you a tamper-proof mask? Courier or will become a high incidence of lung cancer in China

During the daytime on December 25th, there was mild to moderate turbulence in Beijing, and the early warning of blizzard was still in effect. At night, affected by cold air, crickets will weaken and dissipate. Beijing will usher in the last snowfall in 2016.

The misty snow changed little snow. This reminded Xiao Bian of a large number of continuous haze sweeping the country many days ago.

From December 16 to 21, China experienced the most hazy weather this year. Among them, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and other cities have successively exhibited the "burst of PM2.5 concentration," and even the concentration of PM2.5 in individual areas reached 500-1000 μg/m3.

The logistic person stuck in the fog

For the average person, the biggest impact of hazy weather may only be the inconvenience of traveling, but for couriers and takeaways who run for years in the first place, haze brings physical harm!

Survey: Haze and Lung Cancer

"The furthest distance in the world is not life and death, but I hold your hand, but I can't see you."

Under the "Red Alert," no one can escape the smog. The relationship between haze and cancer has naturally become the most concerned topic.

1. Lung cancer became Beijing's number one killer

Because smog contains a large number of pollutants and pathogenic microorganisms, it will cause strong stimulation of the human respiratory tract, and easily lead to a variety of respiratory diseases, such as common rhinitis, bronchitis, asthma and so on. More seriously, it also causes airway disease to spread to the lungs, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and even lung cancer.

According to the cancer data released by the Beijing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission, the cancer with the highest incidence in Beijing is lung cancer, the second is colorectal cancer, and the third is gastric cancer. In the past decade, the incidence of lung cancer in Beijing has increased by more than 40%.

According to surveys, at present, there are approximately 3.12 million cases of new cancers each year in China, with an average of 8550 diagnosed every day. Six people per minute are diagnosed with cancer. On average, one person is diagnosed in 10 seconds. Each year, the number of cancer deaths reaches 2.7 million cases. In the ten years, the incidence of lung cancer in Beijing increased by approximately 43%.

2. Little brothers in smog rarely wear masks

Despite the great harm of haze, but under the fog, no one can “suction” without self-strength, many people still have to continue to work, especially those couriers and take-outs who travel on the road day and night, often When the weather is bad, they are extraordinarily busy.

Then, how do they guard against the haze and Beijing?

In order to understand the situation, the first logistics media Xiao Bian randomly visited several courier companies and found that many outdoor workers' attitudes toward smog were "indifferent."

Courier without a mask

In fact, in order to reduce the physical damage caused by smog to the courier, many courier companies have issued anti-mite masks to employees, but some couriers have said that wearing masks can not communicate well with customers and will affect work. Many people do not wear posts.

Most couriers never seem to complain about the impact of hazy weather on their own bodies, nor do they have time to think about it. They just go around every day and send bags and pieces; while everyone cares more about it, it is that smog will affect traffic and lead to deliveries. The speed of goods slows down.

“Compared to my own health, I am more worried about the customer's poor assessment due to the delay in the smog,” said a Yuantong courier. “Smoke a few more mists, and just don’t give bad reviews!”

During the visit, Xiao Bian also discovered that in terms of courier care, most courier companies did not issue outdoor surgery subsidies to the courier in addition to the flood prevention masks.

3, PM2.5 has not been included in occupational hazards

In fact, couriers and takeaways are more likely to suffer from respiratory diseases. However, our country’s laws have not kept pace with changes in practice and scientific research.

It is reported that the identification of occupational diseases in occupational diseases or work-related injuries in China requires consideration of both risk factors and causes of diseases. The haze has problems in both of these areas: First, PM2.5 has not yet been listed as an occupational hazard; second, respiratory disease or lung cancer caused by PM2.5 has not entered the occupational disease list. Therefore, from a regulatory point of view, there are loopholes in the protective measures of workers in hazy weather.

In response, Xiao Bian called for coping with haze, and should promote public participation. We should carry out science popularization in the entire society to clarify our understanding, activate community discussions and attention on smog, improve the legal mechanism, and bring haze to life. The damage is increased to the level of labor protection, so as to strengthen the labor protection of the courier and the delivery person.

Impact: Logistics and Transportation

In fact, in addition to harm to the body, the impact of smog on the logistics industry is also more prominent.

1, a number of high-speed was closed, express package "on the road"

On December 16, Beijing issued the first red warning of heavy air pollution this winter; on December 18, 71 cities had reached above-above severe pollution, and the area of ​​re-elevation was expanded to 620,000 square kilometers!

Due to the influence of haze and weather, a number of highways have adopted road closure measures:

Beijing: Beijing-Tianjin-Shanghai Expressway, Beijing-Shanghai Expressway, Jingping Expressway, Jingha Expressway, Beijing-Taiwan Expressway, Beijing-Kaikou Expressway, Beijing-Kunming Expressway, Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway, Beijing-Xinjiang Expressway, and Liuhuan Road;

Hebei: With the exception of Zhangjiakou and Chengde, the high-speed stations in other jurisdictions in the province are closed due to the haze, and there are diversion points along the way in the fog area. Some of the diversion points have a pressure car.

Shandong: Highways in Shandong Province are basically closed;

Tianjin: The territory is all high speed.

Affected by the closure of the expressway, a large number of courier parcels were blocked on the road and could not enter the distribution center.

2. The impact of traffic control is great, and the city distribution is “injured”

Traffic problems, the courier industry followed! During the haze, a number of courier companies have issued a delay announcement.

On December 19th, Yunda Express posted a message on its official website: From now on to December 21, Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei Province issued red warnings for hazy weather in Beijing, Tianjin, and most areas in Hebei Province ( Zhangzhou District, Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Hengshui, Xingtai, and Handan Districts) initiated temporary traffic control measures such as single- and double-number limit and high-speed road closures. During the warning period, the timeliness of shipments entering and exiting the above areas is expected to be delayed on the original basis.

On December 20, SF Express posted on its official website: On the 19th, most of northern China, most parts of East China, and parts of northwest and central China issued hazy red warnings. Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Jilin, Liaoning, High-speed road closures and cancellations of flights in various areas in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hubei, Anhui and Jiangsu. Affected by this, during the warning period, the expiry date of shipments entering and leaving the above areas is expected to be delayed by 0.5-2 days on the original basis.

In addition, a large e-commerce platform, such as Jingdong Mall, MyBuy.com, and No.1 Store, also issued a delay announcement.

According to a preliminary calculation by the Cainiao Network, due to the impact of traffic control brought by smog, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and other provinces and cities will have different degrees of delay in delivery and may be delayed. The parcel will reach 4,000 to 50 million. Among them, because the expressway from Hebei to Beijing is almost completely closed, the express delivery efficiency in the surrounding areas will be greatly affected, and the average delay will be about 0.5-1 days.

3, three percent increase in take-out orders, delivery of the little brother "Qi brush street"

According to the platform big data showing that it is hungry, on the day of the "Red Alert" on December 16, Beijing Zhongguancun, Guomao, Wudaokou, Shangdi, Dongzhimen, Wangjing, and Xi'erqi had the most orders. In the past two days, the eating habits of some college students have changed from going to the canteen to being called takeaways in the dormitory.

At the same time, the platform data also showed that the incremental impact of Haze on the overall take-away orders is obvious: “Red Alert” started on the first day, the order volume was higher by 27% on December 14 (air premium). Especially at the peak of late dinner, the order volume was higher by 39% at the same time on December 14th.

In this regard, Xiao Bian suggested that due to delays caused by haze factors, high-speed road closures, etc., resulting in the goods can not arrive on time, should be unforeseeable, can not be avoided and can not overcome the objective situation, as a force majeure factor. Therefore, when the haze strikes, please also be more considerate and understanding to the courier and the takeaway!

Five major hazards of haze on the human body

Breath itself does not kill people, but polluted air can sometimes! As the air quality deteriorates year by year, haze and haze phenomena increase and the damage increases.

1 lung injury

First of all, smog has the greatest impact on the respiratory system. Hundreds of atmospheric particles can directly enter the respiratory system, adhere to the upper and lower respiratory tracts and the lungs, and most of them are inhaled by the body.

Secondly, haze and haze causes the weakening of near-surface ultraviolet light, which makes it easy to increase the activity of pathogens in the air. Fine particles can “bring” bacteria and viruses to the depths of the respiratory system and cause infections.

2 injured heart

Granular pollutants in hazy weather not only cause myocardial infarction, but also cause myocardial ischemia or injury. The United States investigated 25,000 people with heart disease or poor heart and found that when the PM2.5 was increased by 10 micrograms/cubic meter, the patient mortality rate would increase by 10% to 27%.

3 injured blood vessels

Due to the large amount of pollutants and low pressure in the haze, it is easy to cause people's chest tightness and high blood pressure, which induces an acute attack of cardiovascular diseases.

In addition, haze weather is often low temperatures, some high blood pressure, coronary heart disease patients suddenly went from the warm interior to the cold outside, blood vessels thermal expansion and contraction, but also can increase blood pressure, leading to stroke, myocardial infarction.

4 injured skin

The skin also has a breathing function. In the clean air, the skin will be comfortable and moist, but if it is in a hazy environment, the skin will be very uncomfortable.

5 injured brain

Haze not only damages the organs, but also affects the nervous system invisible. It is reported that the United States 65th Annual Geriatric Medicine will have the conclusion that the PM2.5 in the air will increase by 10 micrograms/cubic meter. Human brain function will be three years old.
