Health Ministry warns on school supplies safety
The National Risk Assessment Agency at the Ministry of Health appeals to parents to verify the safety of the school supplies their children purchase for the new school year. It warns that some tools may contain harmful chemical substances that can affect children's health with repeated exposure, especially through the skin, mouth, or inhalation. The agency recommends purchasing supplies from reputable and trusted sources, reading the warning labels and instructions for use, and avoiding items that resemble food in shape or smell to prevent confusion. It also advises choosing appropriate pencil cases and water containers suitable for the child's age, and working to reduce the weight of school bags to prevent health issues. Proper weight distribution and ensuring the bag does not exceed 10% of the child's weight are essential. Safety and scientific advice are among the most important ways to protect children during the school year.
