Two recently published studies provide a stark warning of the growing health crisis linked to exposure to plastic chemicals and microplastics, sparking renewed calls for regulatory action against plastics. The study from the Minderoo Foundation, in collaboration with JBI at the University of Adelaide, examined data from 52 systematic reviews, involving over 900 meta-analyses on 1.5 million individuals, including pregnant women, babies, children, and adults to assess the potential health outcomes of household plastics.<\/p>\n<p>The plastic chemicals reviewed in the study included BPA (bisphenol A), phthalates (plasticisers), PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and PBDEs (Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers), both of which are flame retardants, and PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These chemicals are used in a large variety of daily items, including food storage containers, cans, water bottles, medical devices, cosmetics, and cookware, and are primarily used in the production of polycarbonate plastics.<\/p>\n<p>The new findings strengthen the call for domestic and international efforts to regulate plastics. Particular focus is on the ongoing negotiation of a UN Global Plastics Treaty, with talks set to continue at INC-5 in Busan, South Korea, in November.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/urgent-call-plastic-regulation-studies-reveal-severe-health-impacts\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-596\/\">Urgent call for plastic regulation as studies reveal severe health impacts<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,525,16175],"class_list":["post-133841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-health","tag-plastic-regulation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133841\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
