Plastic products have been the most recent products of the modern industries of the peoples, which have spread widely; as a result of their excellence in ease of use and light weight, such as plastic bags or packaging through which the transfer or preservation or circulation of most food products.
The housewife relies heavily on plastic containers to keep drinks and food, and the child in school is almost indispensable. With the plastic bag, the sandwich is kept until the interval between the ration and the plastic bottle is used to save the water. Due to the danger of carrying the glass bottle, These uses may threaten the health of the human being,
Where recent studies have shown that plastic products can create different diseases in humans, whether through the materials used in the manufacture and decomposes and dissolves in the food stored inside, as one study warned of the danger of plastic tools to contain the substance "Laxin." Another study warned of the danger of these tools if reused, stressing that the plastic tools such as bottles of mineral water is valid only once of use.
In the context of the following report, it reviews some of the studies that proved the danger of plastic to human health, and its findings based on scientific facts and the citizens' complaint about the difficulty of abandoning the tools that enter all aspects of daily life.
There are many studies and scientific research that dealt with the danger of plastic to human health, whether it has many diseases of cancer resulting from the decomposition of materials used in the manufacture; the result of repeated use or cleaning with alkaline materials, and perhaps recycled plastics are more dangerous to human health than those manufactured for the first time .
According to a study published by the American Academy of Sciences, the risk of recycling plastic lies in the chances of the transport of the compounds of the initial packaging - the petrochemical - of the food packaged inside, and the resulting accumulation over time lead to poisoning or damage the internal organs of the organism.
Studies of 150 studies conducted by the California Center for Environmental Research and Studies indicate that recycled plastic containers, which humans have used since their production in their daily lives, lead to cancer, because they contain many chemicals involved in manufacturing. Cancer, which affects humans as a result of the use of plastic materials, including: breast and uterine cancer, in addition to it increases the chances of abortion, and works to reduce the levels of hormone testosterone in the body, and contains BPA and Work on corrupting the immune systems in children.
And the results confirmed by d. Sahar al-Aqbi, head of food and food science at the National Research Center, said in press statements that plastic bags, nylon and plastic boxes used to store or transport food have serious health effects and increase the chances of cancer. PVC and RFID with food saved or transported by it.
She pointed out that the most food interacting with the chemical in plastic is the fatty materials, where it facilitates the melting of plastic material, and the study indicated that the leakage of plastic materials and other chemicals to food varies according to the temperature and the length of storage in terms of shortness or length.
In spite of the dangers of studies on the effects of human use of plastic materials, especially in the preservation or transport of food and drink, but some experts pointed out that the number of plastic products mild damage if used only once, such as bottles of mineral water.
The Director of the Department of Environmental Health in the Palestinian Ministry of Health Dr. Fuad al-Jammasi pointed out that bottles of mineral water and plastic equipment in general, which contain food that is used for production for the first time, have little damage because they are sterilized and they are used in their production only once. He calls on housewives not to repeat the use of these bottles. To the interaction of plastic with any food that is stored in it, which makes it, in his words, unfit for human use or any other purpose, and it is a danger to human health, and it is infected with some serious diseases such as cancer
Pointing out that the impact of the risk on human health is determined by the temperature to be placed, and pointed out that the ideal solution for the reuse of plastic materials that are for use once, to be recycled and recycled in other tools such as some electrical supplies or hangers for clothes, chains, tables, chairs and plastic And other tools away from daily human use in food and drink.
