"Plasticizer event" since been exposed, but also more and more spread, for a time feel insecure. Consumers carefully point can be found in many supermarkets have been the size of Taiwan's beverage shelves across the board, people want to buy can not buy, but that does not mean it is safe. Plasticizing agent widely used in plastic products industry, the use of the slightest mistake, it is likely to be fire.
PVC film not touch fat food
In a supermarket to see, a very striking Tips: PVC cling film can not touch with a fat food; packaging meat and cooked food is available only PE cling film, because PE cling film does not contain plasticizers. This implication, PVC cling film to contain a plasticizer. Plasticizing agent as a chemical raw material, widely used in children's toys, food packaging materials. Such as food packaging materials, proper use, plasticizers are generally not released, but if you use the wrong, such as used in high temperature conditions, there may be a problem. Reporters learned that such an experiment has been done in the market to buy some plastic lunch boxes and ultra-thin plastic bags, food is placed in the public's average temperature is 60 ℃ lower detection will release plasticizers. After experimental testing, in the case where the water temperature is 60 ℃, and aqueous two-contained plastic products detected in a trace amount of plasticizer.
Bottles above 70 ℃ endanger human
Oil barrels, bottles mostly with polyethylene terephthalate (abbreviated PET) do. PET has a feature, heat to 70 ℃, installed hot liquids, or heating the deformation, there are harmful substances melt out. And scientists have found that the use of PET bottles after 10 months, may release carcinogenic plasticizers, testicular toxicity.
How can we know what plastic food packaging is done, how to use it properly? Supermarket official told reporters, quite simply, the bottom of the plastic bottle has a large triangle with arrows, there are figures in the triangle, if it is "1", it proved to be made of PET. If it is "2", it shows high-density polyethylene (HDPE) do. Reporters visited the supermarket found, shampoo, shower gel and other cleaning supplies bottom most are marked "2." In addition, the "2" is also used to produce food bags, only the ability of 110 ℃, it is best not directly heated, otherwise it will produce harmful substances.
PVC film or cause male infertility watermelon
Summer, many people like to buy a watermelon eating watermelon too, tend to buy half. In order to show the health watermelon stall, often give watermelon covered with plastic wrap, then people should pay attention to see what he used plastic wrap, if polyethylene (PE) plastic wrap, then no problem, because this film is allowed to be used as fresh food preservation; and if it is a vinyl polymeric substances (PVC) plastic wrap, it may bad.
PVC is often used to produce agricultural film, which contains a large number of plasticizers. According to reports, PVC film if in contact with food, plasticizers will penetrate into the food, the men will eat reduced sperm, male characteristic degradation, even suffering from infertility. In addition, the reporter interviewed also found, PVC film is much cheaper than the PE film.
Bisphenol A
Be careful with space Cup
Many "knowledgeable" people think that buying a plastic cup, depending on the digital bottom triangle, if it is "7", it is secure, and such as space cup, bottle, the following are "seven." This view is correct before, but is now obsolete.
Reporters learned that "7" is a polycarbonate (PC) of the Code, mainly for the production kettle, space cup, bottle.
Super cups often use this material as a gift, but it's easy to release toxic bisphenol A, harmful. If there is a triangle in "7" or "58", but says the following PC, it may contain bisphenol A.
Recently, the Ministry of Health and other six departments jointly issued a document, bisphenol A ban this year from June 1 for infant feeding bottles. At the same time the New Deal to the market also left a three-month grace period delisting requiring companies or importer to recall relevant products in September 1.
In addition, the triangle is the safest figure "5" plastic products, it represents a polypropylene (PP), for the production of milk bottles, microwave meal and so on. PP melting point up to 167 ℃, is the only way into the microwave plastic boxes can be reused. But take note that some microwave food containers, box is made of PP, PE lid is made, as PE can not withstand high temperatures, it can not be put in the microwave along with a box body.
