In plastic packaging, what substance is most likely to cause harm to safety
The most likely hazard to safety in plastic packaging is the plastic products containing polyvinyl chloride, phthalates and other substances.
The potential harm of plastic packaging to human safety mainly comes from its chemical composition. Some plastic products, especially those containing polyvinyl chloride, phthalates and other substances, may release toxic and harmful substances when heated or long-term contact. These substances may not only cause diseases of the blood system, such as leukemia, but also lead to chronic poisoning, affect the nervous central system, and even increase the risk of cancer. For example, polyvinyl chloride will melt and release toxic and harmful substances at temperatures above 80 ° C, and long-term inhalation of these substances may affect the blood system. Substances such as phthalates may disrupt the endocrine system, cause harm to the reproductive system, and even affect the brain development and behavior of infants and young children.
In addition, other chemicals in plastic packaging, such as bisphenol A, alkyl phenols, perfluorinated compounds, etc., may also pose a potential threat to human health. These substances can enter the body through food contact materials, medical supplies, etc., interfere with the endocrine system, cause harm to the reproductive system, increase the risk of cancer, and may affect the immune system, leading to allergic reactions and other health problems.
Therefore, in order to reduce the potential harm of plastic packaging to human safety, the use of plastic products to contain food should be avoided, especially under high temperature conditions. At the same time, for people working in plastic processing plants, masks should be worn to reduce the inhalation of toxic gases. The choice of alternatives such as sealed cans and crisper boxes, as well as measures such as bringing environmentally friendly bags and recycling plastic bags when shopping, are also effective ways to reduce plastic pollution and protect human health.
