Plasticizers are widely found in every corner of life. So far, the media has exposed the following items may contain plasticizers: food packaging bags, plastic wrap; Hair spray, lipstick, nail polish, lotion and other cosmetics; Disposable plastic cups, plastic gloves, raincoats, shoes, leather imitation products, bathroom curtains and other daily necessities; Instant noodles, powder cleaning supplies, medical equipment (injection syringes, blood bags and plastic hoses for medical use, etc.), children's toys, etc.
According to the modern lifestyle, it is almost impossible to completely avoid plasticizers, but there is no need to be overly nervous, because the plasticizers that are exposed to in normal life do not harm the human body. However, people should also contact plastic products containing plasticizers as little as possible.
In daily life, the most easy to contact with food is plastic wrap, plastic wrap is divided into polyethylene (PE) plastic wrap and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic wrap. If a plastic product is marked with PVC, it contains a plasticizer. In particular, it should be noted that food with plastic wrap must not be heated in the microwave oven, especially meat, because once the plasticizer contacts the oil, it will release toxic substances. In addition, when choosing children's products, buy too soft and too small plastic products as little as possible. We do not have to talk about "agent" color change, correct understanding and use is the key.
In order to reduce the absorption of plasticizers, it is necessary to change some living habits in daily life. In the selection of food containers, should try to avoid the use of plastic materials, use high-quality stainless steel, glass and ceramic containers; Plastic wrap for food preservation should choose PE material that does not add plasticizers, and it is best to use less plastic wrap, plastic bags, oil-resistant paper, etc., to pack or hold food; Try to avoid using plastic containers to put hot water, hot soup, tea, coffee, especially hot and oily food; Minimize the use of plastic containers for food heating in the microwave; Try not to drink or drink as little as possible.
