For infants and young children, crawling on the carpet, chewing on plastic toys, and using milk bottles and plastic tableware are all exposed to the plastic environment.
PP is a very common food grade plastic. The current market share of PP baby bottles is about 82%, followed by glass baby bottles.
PP is also a common raw material for yogurt cups, medicine bottles, kitchen utensils, etc., and because of its good heat resistance, it is not easily deformed when heated, and many plastic containers marked "microwave oven" are also made of PP.
What is more worrying is that this study published in Nature Food states:
The research team followed the milk powder preparation method recommended by the World Health Organization. The milk bottle was sterilized with 95 degrees Celsius hot water, air-dried, and then the formula was made with 70 degrees Celsius hot water, and then shaken up and down evenly. The microplastic particles in the bottle were per liter. Can be as high as 16.2 million!
And "the higher the water temperature, the more microplastic particles in the bottle":
When the water temperature increased from 25 degrees Celsius to 95 degrees Celsius, the microplastic particles increased from 600,000 per liter to 55 million per liter, nearly 100 times.
The research team further combined the infant bottle feeding ratio and formula milk intake in 48 countries or regions around the world, and calculated that bottle-fed infants in the first year after birth have an average daily intake of 1.58 million microplastic particles. .
The estimated number of plastic particles that babies drink from plastic bottles each day.
Drink over a million microplastics every day
Is it harmful to the baby?
In fact, scientists are not yet sure how much impact microplastics will have on human health. Studies by the World Health Organization show that most of the microplastic particles, regardless of their size, will be excreted directly from the body and will not be absorbed by the intestine.
However, there are still too few related studies. In addition, studies have found that the amount of microplastics in baby bottles is surprisingly large. When the potential health risks to babies are not yet known, the researchers also put forward the following suggestions to reduce infants’ exposure to microplastics. Intake
