Plasticizing agents on how to reduce the harm to human health?

        Recently, liquor containing plasticizers media exposure, people a time to talk about "plastic" color. In fact, we have no need to panic. Plasticizing agent into the body's main way is through food intake, so we can change their lifestyles to reduce the intake of plasticizers, plasticizers effectively reduce the harm to human health.

Plasticizing agent first to know about it. It is also known as plasticizers, plasticizers, are widely used in industry additives, mainly used for all kinds of plastic flame retardant products, such as food packaging, toys, medical bags, medical tubes, vinyl flooring. China is the world's largest consumer of plasticizer, total global consumption of 1/4. 

Plasticizer wide range of the most commonly used industrial phthalates, include phthalic acid diester (DEHP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), o-tolyl acid Dioxide (BBP), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), ethyl hexyl phthalate ester (MEHP), etc., but these plasticizers are toxic, not as a food additive. Another plasticizer is benzene, is often said environmental plasticizers include tributyl citrate (TBC), trioctyl citrate (TOC), acetyl tributyl citrate ~ (ATBC), acetyl citrate three Sim ~ (ATOC), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) as well as other new benzene plasticizing agents, such plasticizers are completely benzene, and the human body is without any toxic effects. After many scholars studied the toxicity of plasticizers mainly reflected in the genetic toxicity, embryo developmental toxicity, reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity and other aspects. In addition, phthalates also, and adult male lung function decline, obesity, diabetes and thyroid function decline and other diseases have a certain relevance.

Air, soil and water have a plasticizing agent is present. But studies show that trace plasticizing agent on human health has not significantly affected. Animal experiments have found that monkeys trace plasticizing agent within 24-48 hours can be excreted through metabolism. Currently, the World Health Organization on the plasticizer DEHP prescribed tolerable daily intake of 0.025 mg per kg. Means that a person weighing 60 kg, if the lifetime daily intake of plasticizers 1.5 mg to 8.5 mg, it may lead to significant health damage. Impact modifier for PVC

Although ubiquitous plasticizer, but most consumers, in their daily lives through some effective measures to reduce the harm plasticizer. First, if the plastic material of the food containers, should be chosen after testing, the heating process is almost no dissolution of the plasticizer, is marked as "microwave heating" of the plastic products, or in the production of plastic products plasticizer benzene . Second, avoid the food and plastic containers prolonged exposure or immersion, to reduce the dissolution of the plasticizer.
