Core Tip: The most comprehensive endocrine research report completed by 16 experts, and said that there are brominated flame retardants, plasticizers, bisphenol A in household items such as carpets, sofas, home appliances, water bottles, toys, credit cards, etc. Class 3 substances can cause problems such as cancer, asthma and infertility.
Home has always been regarded as the safest harbor. Recently, however, the World Health Organization has published a most comprehensive endocrine research report in the history of six years after careful research by six experts, and said that there are carpets, sofas, home appliances, water bottles, toys, credit cards and other household items. Brominated flame retardants, plasticizers, and bisphenol A may cause cancer, asthma, and infertility. Based on this, we listed the dangerous goods that are common in the home, and invited authoritative experts to analyze how these pollutants can cause harm to the human body. How to avoid it?
1. Dangerous goods: PVC floor, paint and other decoration materials, disposable plastic cups, plastic gloves, toys, raincoats, shoes, shower curtains, credit cards and other daily necessities, packaging bags, plastic wrap and other food packaging, as well as hair gel, lipstick, nails Oil, lotion and other cosmetics.
Contaminants: Plasticizers, also known as plasticizers (the most commonly used phthalate esters), are not only used in the production of plastic products, but also in rubber, adhesives, resins, cables and other materials. application. Mainly to increase the softness, toughness and elasticity of the material, making it more durable.
Hazard: Wu Xuejun, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, told the Life Times that plasticizers (phthalate esters) have estrogenic effects, and a large intake may interfere with the body's endocrine system. If accumulated in the body for a long time, it will cause hormonal imbalance, leading to the decline of human immunity, the most serious is affecting reproductive ability, causing children's gender disorder, induced precocious puberty in children. Plasticizers can also harm human genes and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The liver and urinary system can also be injured, and after damage, it may be genetically passed on to the next generation. Other studies have confirmed that plasticizers can cause cancerous reactions in animals.
Countermeasures: Wu Xueyu said that it is almost impossible for modern people to completely avoid plasticizers, but there is no need to panic. As long as they are in normal contact, they will not harm the human body.
Dong Jinshi, secretary-general of the International Food Packaging Association, suggested that plastic products should be used as little as possible. Children should not be allowed to put plastic products in the mouth; it is best not to use plastic bottles to load wine and oil. If it is necessary to install, it is best to choose the bottom of the bottle or There is a triangular sign on the bottle, and there is a plastic bottle with the number "1" in the triangle, and it is stored in a cool and ventilated place; if the plastic product is marked with "PVC", it means that it contains phthalate, when purchased and used. Pay special attention; when heating in a microwave oven, do not heat together with plastic wrap, especially meat. Most wrap films contain phthalate esters. Once exposed to grease, they release harmful substances.
Wang Hongmei, an associate researcher at the Environmental Pollution and Health Research Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Environmental Sciences, said that home improvement should try steel and wood furniture and flooring. When you buy daily necessities, if you smell a big smell, it means that the concentration of pollutants is large and should be decisively discarded. Zheng Wei, director of the Greenpeace Pollution Prevention and Control Project, reminded that when choosing children's products, it is necessary to avoid PVC materials. Soft, too small plastic products should be purchased less, especially pay attention to the pungent "plastic" smell, or feel a bit touched. A greasy and sticky plastic toy should be carefully selected.
Second, dangerous goods: tableware, water bottles, bottles, cans, glasses, mobile phones, computers, shopping receipts, etc.
Contaminants: Bisphenol A can make plastic products colorless, transparent, durable, and fall-proof.
Hazard: Wu Xueyu said that bisphenol A not only causes heart disease, but also induces diabetes and liver disease, and affects the brain development of the fetus and children, and even increases the risk of prostate cancer and breast cancer. A study by Harvard University in the United States found that bisphenol A also increased the risk of female infertility. Dong Jinshi pointed out that once bisphenol A is ingested by the human body, it is difficult to decompose and will be passed on to future generations. It may also mutate and produce new toxic and harmful substances.
Response: Tang Saizhen, vice president of the Degradable Plastics Committee of the China Plastics Processing Industry Association, said that certain ingredients in plastic products are really harmful to the human body and have a lot to do with the method of use. In daily life, you can pay attention to the following points: Do not use boiling water in plastic cups, because bisphenol A will only be released in high temperature above 100 °C; do not use hot food in plastic bags to avoid the release of toxic substances at high temperatures, resulting in chronic Poisoning; no colored plastic bags for cooked food, because most of the colored plastic bags are made of recycled plastic, which may release harmful substances; microwave heating requires special bowls; newly bought plastic products are soaked in warm water for several days to speed up the release of residual double Resin substances such as phenol A may be used again; such substances may also be included in supermarket receipts, and should be washed hands after contact.
Third, dangerous goods: household appliances, carpets, paint, sofa cushion fillers.
Contained pollutants: brominated flame retardant, a general term for bromine-containing organic compounds, used as a flame retardant, mainly applied to the surface of objects to prevent objects from igniting due to overheating.
Hazard: It is good to add a flame retardant to prevent fire, but if the flame retardant is harmful to the human body, it may not be worth the loss. As a common pollutant, brominated flame retardant is persistent and easy to accumulate in the human body, which will interfere with the endocrine, immune and nervous system of the human body, causing children to be overactive, learning difficulties, and leading to decreased sperm quality and infertility in adults. Infertility. Brominated flame retardants also release carcinogens when incinerated.
Response measures: Professor Wang Yingxi of the School of Chemical Engineering of Hubei University said that it is best to use phosphating flame retardants instead of brominated flame retardants for flame retardant furniture such as sofas, curtains and wallpapers. At present, Europe has clearly stipulated that brominated flame retardants are not allowed. However, in China, the flame retardant standard is not strict in Europe, and the flame retardant effect of brominated flame retardants is the best, so there is still bromination resistance in the market. Burning furniture. When consumers buy soft furniture, try to choose linen and wool fabric products. If you are concerned about hidden dangers, keep indoors ventilated, or plant plants such as orchids that can absorb bromine. In addition, sofas and cushions usually use a sponge-like substance with a brominated flame retardant. Once the outer packaging material is damaged, it should be sewn immediately. When purchasing home appliances, try to choose a product with the "ROHS" logo (representing that does not contain most types of brominated flame retardants).
Finally, Wang Hongmei reminded consumers that in modern life, it is difficult to completely avoid the above substances, but there is no need to over-conspicion, because companies with good technical standards, qualified quality and good reputation will produce and process products according to relevant standards, and will not cause harm to the human body.
