[Health Care Network / intern reporter Zhu Pei Chee reported]

 

Plastic is convenient, but a lot of harm. National Institutes of Health, found that women in the urine plasticizer metabolite concentrations significantly higher than adult males, 18-40 year-old women is particularly serious. More alarming is that children and adolescents plasticizer metabolite concentrations in urine actually much higher than adults.

National Institutes of Health National Institute of Environmental Medicine ?柏菁 help researchers and research teams from 102 in May, against Taiwan 11 counties and cities, 17 towns people made a total of 387 urine specimen, were 11 kinds of plasticizers metabolite analysis found that people detected in urine eight kinds of plasticizer metabolites rate of 70%.

 

The results also found that adult women in Taiwan and other plasticizers MEHHP urine metabolite concentrations significantly higher than adult males, 18-40 year-old women of childbearing age in the urine MEP exposure more significant increase. Plasticizing agent concentration in the urine 18 years of age is much higher than in adults. Researcher Huang Bojing noted that in addition to the impact likely to be higher for children and youth physical load, the minor may hygiene practices when in contact with the plastic-related products, eating habits, and exposure to sources of information on plasticizers.

 

I love to use plastic bags for fear of exposure to one of the sources of cosmetics

 

Research shows that people have more than seven into three frequency use plastic bags made of plastic wrap and store food, which may be a source of exposure to plasticizers. In addition, plasticizers metabolite concentrations in urine of adult females is higher than adult males, researcher Huang Bojing considered whether differences between older women eating habits (food preservation, microwave, etc.) and skin care products use habits, still further get to the bottom.

 

The team further noted that although most people exposed to the amount of plasticizer is close to the United States and Canada, however, part of the plasticizing agent exposure is far below the United States and Canada, obviously, the Government, after the outbreak of plasticizer event, reinforcing controls initial success .
