Polyacrylamide, as a commonly used water treatment water purifier, may lead to the following adverse consequences if used in excess:
1.Reduced water treatment effectiveness: Excessive use of polyacrylamide will reduce the organic content in the water, which will affect the water treatment effect.
2.Equipment blockage: Because too much polyacrylamide cannot be effectively gathered together to precipitate, it is easy to clog the equipment, thus affecting the normal flow of water.
3.Poor floc flow: Excess polyacrylamide can make the flocculant flow poor, causing the water to become viscous, which can adversely affect the drainage system.
4.May affect human health: Polyacrylamide itself is not toxic, but its breakdown product, acrylamide, is a toxic substance. Excessive or long-term exposure may affect human health, such as the reproductive system, nervous system, and organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Therefore, when we use polyacrylamide, we must pay attention to controlling the amount of use and avoid excessive use. In case of overdose, it is recommended to take immediate measures to treat it to avoid harm to the human body and the environment. If necessary, you can seek a professional water quality testing agency for monitoring and operate according to their professional advice.
