Precautions To Take While Using Helium Balloons At Kids’ Parties
We’ve all giggled when hearing people squeak after inhaling helium, but the truth is that this gas is not without its risks.
- Have the helium balloons filled at the store or by someone who knows how to use the canister with the correct nozzle. Check for leaks while filling the balloons and make sure they are kept in a well-ventilated area.
- If you have placed a large order for balloons and are bringing the helium canister home yourself, be careful about how it is transported (it should not be jostled around too much) and stored (rusting can damage the cylinder and cause leaks).
- Be present when the kids are playing with helium balloons and keep an eye out for accidental inhalation of the gas.
- Since helium expands when hot, make sure that there isn’t too much variation in temperature from where it is filled and placed. So if the helium balloons are for an outdoor summer party, perhaps it’s best to have them filled on-site.
- Last but not least, be careful while disposing helium balloons. All balloons, whether foil or latex, are not great for the environment. Pick up any popped pieces and discard them carefully. This will prevent little kids, pets, birds and other animals from ingesting them.
Now that you know what to watch out for, let’s look at where you can buy helium balloons and all sorts of balloon decorations in Hong Kong.
