Are rubber floor mat to the human body?

In general, rubber floor mats may pose certain hazards to the human body, and their harm is usually manifested in the skin. Therefore, it is recommended to choose whether to use it based on one's own physical condition.

Rubber floor mats are gaskets made of rubber as raw material. There are various types of rubber pads commonly used in daily life, such as transparent rubber pads, circular rubber pads, etc. There are many classifications of rubber pads, such as natural rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, butyl rubber, etc. Due to the poor breathability of rubber pads, long-term or frequent use may increase the risk of skin moisture. If used for a long time for sleep or leaning or sitting upright, it may increase the risk of pressure ulcers due to local skin lack of breathability and accumulation of moisture. At this time, the skin is prone to symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, and ulceration. In addition, rubber pads contain a large amount of rubber substances, and some people have sensitive skin, which may cause allergies to rubber. After using or coming into contact with rubber pads, allergic reactions may occur, leading to skin redness, itching, rash, etc.

If the rubber floor mat is made by an unqualified manufacturer, it may carry a small amount of harmful substances such as formaldehyde, sulfur dioxide, etc. due to improper production. Long term use of such unqualified rubber pads by the human body can easily lead to coughing, shortness of breath, and other symptoms due to inhalation of harmful substances. Therefore, it is advisable to purchase qualified rubber floor mat for use, and if allergic to them, they should be avoided.
