 The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has
been serious problem for three reasons.
Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological
specimens and experiments. Formalin in Biology is a 10% solution of
formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve
biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservatives. Of course when it
is used for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.
The second reason is that there is no tight control from the
government. This condition makes the people’s health is really in a threat.
When the control is weak and the use formalin was spread wide all over the
Indonesian regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizen’s bodies
will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their
products which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives. Can you
imagine that our digestive system absorbs the substance that should be for the
human and animal corpses?
Considering the reasons, we can make a conclusion that the use of
formalin and other preservatives is really a serious problem if it is not resolved
immediately.

allowed because it is rude, harmful to others and dangerous for the

our life. Why do I say so?

things in the world such as Science, technology. Sports, arts, culture,
etc. written in books, magazine, newspaper, etc.

about something happening in any parts of the world which can we

tired, we read books, newspaper or magazine on the entertainment
column such as comedy, short story, quiz, etc. To make us relaxed.
