The city of Paris wants new parents to think twice before offering plastic baby items to their newborns and plans to give clean products to them as part of a new environmental health plan.<\/p>\n<p>The plan, which will go to a vote on Tuesday night, is meant to reinforce the city\u2019s efforts to tackle pollution with more comprehensive testing of schools for toxic chemicals and metals such as lead, preventing indoor air pollution, and a new expert committee to evaluate environmental health. Anne-Claire Boux, Paris\u2019 deputy mayor in charge of health from the Greens party, says the impact of pollution on people\u2019s health is a known societal problem.<\/p>\n<p>Exposure to &#8216;forever chemicals&#8217; linked to gut health and kidney damage in young adults, study finds<br \/>\n&#8220;It is now estimated that at least 10 per cent of cancers are linked to environmental factors and it is believed that current scientific studies suggest that this figure is largely underestimated,&#8221; she told a small group of reporters at City Hall.<\/p>\n<p>One of the projects in the plan would provide new parents with an anti-pollution &#8220;gift bag&#8221;. The bag includes a stainless steel baby cup, a wooden toy, reusable cotton wipes, and non-toxic cleaning supplies as part of a &#8220;green prescription&#8221;. The city hopes that it will be in place by mid-2025 with a cost of \u20ac500,000 for that year and some \u20ac1 million per year afterwards. It\u2019s part of an effort to address &#8220;daily pollutants&#8221; such as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), endocrine disrupters, and pesticides.<\/p>\n<p>Exposure to compounds such as PFAS, or &#8220;forever chemicals,&#8221; which can be found in cleaning products, cookware, fabrics, and packaging, has been linked to many health problems such as thyroid and fertility issues as well as cancer. &#8220;The question of infertility isn\u2019t only linked to environmental health\u2026 There can be other reasons, but discussing infertility without also addressing our exposure to pollution, that doesn\u2019t serve any purpose,&#8221; said Boux.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/health\/2024\/11\/19\/paris-could-offer-new-parents-anti-pollution-baby-gift-bags-to-combat-forever-chemicals\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/csr-news-en\/paris-could-offer-new-parents-anti-pollution-baby-gift-bags-to-combat-forever-chemicals\/\">Paris could offer new parents anti-pollution baby \u2018gift bags\u2019 to combat \u2018forever chemicals\u2019<\/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":[16002,16991,555,4958],"class_list":["post-135508","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-anti-pollution","tag-baby-gift-bags","tag-csr-news-en","tag-paris"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135508","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=135508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135508\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
