◉ Introduction of Phthalates
Phthalates are a general term for esters formed from phthalic acid. Mainly used for polyvinyl chloride material, which makes polyvinyl chloride change from hard plastic to elastic plastic, and acts as a plasticizer. Widely used in hundreds of products including toys, food packaging, medical blood bags and hoses, vinyl floors and wallpapers, cleaners, lubricants, personal care products such as nail polish, hair spray, soaps and shampoos middle.
◉ Contact Route
The process of food processing, heating, packaging, and serving may cause phthalates to dissolve and penetrate into food. For example: plastic wrap covering food microwave heating, plastic containers for food, plastic chopsticks, plastic gloves for eating hand-cooked chicken, plastic water cups, beverage bottles, etc. may contain phthalates.
Phthalates in cosmetics can enter the body through women's respiratory system and skin. Excessive use can increase women's risk of breast cancer and harm the reproductive system of their future baby boys.
Soft plastic toys and children's products containing phthalates may be placed in the mouth of children. If left for a long time, the dissolution of phthalates may exceed safe levels, which will endanger the children's liver and liver. The kidneys can also cause precocious puberty in children.
Interior decoration or household items; handbags, wallets, clothes, shoes and hats; medical plastic gloves or blood transfusion bags; electronic products such as mobile phones, earphones, mice; plastic necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and other decorations; gel pens, stationery bags may also contain phthalates.
◉ Harm
Studies have shown that phthalates play a role similar to estrogen in humans and animals, and can interfere with endocrine, reducing men's semen volume and sperm count, low sperm motility, abnormal sperm morphology, and severe testicular cancer. It is the "culprit" of male reproductive problems.
Among cosmetics, nail polish has the highest content of phthalates, which are also contained in the fragrance components of many cosmetics. This substance in cosmetics will enter the body through women's respiratory system and skin. If used in excess, it will increase women's risk of breast cancer and harm the reproductive system of their future baby boys.
