周一起清理工作正式展开，受影响学校名单继续增加。清洁人员首先在阿尔德盖特小学（Aldgate Primary School）移除受污染的动力砂。
教育部长 Blair Boyer 和监管机构 SafeWork SA 强调儿童面临的风险“极低”，但表示相关部门正严肃处理。

动力砂是什么？
动力砂是一种供儿童家用或在学校使用的彩色玩沙，质地柔软、有黏性，不易散落。目前已有 Kadink Sand、Educational Colours – Rainbow Sand、Creatistics – Coloured Sand 等品牌因检测出天然存在的透闪石石棉被召回。多数学校里的产品仍保持密封，仅有 24 所学校发现敞口使用的动力砂。

风险多大？
ACCC 在部分样本中检测出石棉，但 SafeWork SA 表示所有样本均未发现“可吸入的呼吸性石棉纤维”。除非被机械粉碎，动力砂不太可能释放可吸入颗粒，因此风险被认为较低。
在哪里发现？
因产品在澳洲广泛销售，全国各地学校均受到影响。南澳最初公布约 130 所学校，周一又新增约 10 所，包括 Burnside Primary School、Craigmore Kindergarten、Loxton Primary School 和 Streaky Bay Children’s Centre 等。
污染源？
产品在 Officeworks、Kmart 和 Target 等 80 多家零售商销售，由中国制造并进口。澳洲自 2003 年起已禁止进口任何含石棉产品。
何时发现？
上周五首次曝出南澳学校受影响，ACCC 则在 11 月 12 日和 13 日发布召回通知。相关产品在 2020—2025 年间全国销售。
各州反应？
南澳、NSW、Victoria、WA 都选择学校继续开放，同时安排专业团队清理。而 ACT 则关闭了 70 多所以便彻底消毒。
如果你家中也有这些沙子怎么办？
停止使用，不要让儿童或成人接触。
将产品密封并隔离区域。
避免扫、吸或任何会扬起粉尘的操作。
咨询持证石棉评估员或清除员。
并非所有彩色沙子都受影响，如有疑问请联系供应商。目前监管机构已要求相关零售商立即停止销售受影响产品。
