RE: Just How Much PLASTIC Is In The Water You Drink? The Beer You Drink? The Salt You Eat?

in #steemstem6 years ago (edited)

Hello @justtryme90 :)

You said we shouldn't be worried isn't it?

Should I be worried?
No, you shouldn't, but you should at least be informed. We do know that the chemicals which can leach from plastics are not healthy for us, however these plastic concentrations are still very low, so the concentrations of exposure of the chemicals would be infinitesimally small.

But knowing that there is infinitesimal small portion of harmful chemical content in plastics. Don't you think it could result to health challenges in years to come?

Sort:  

Don't you think it could result to health challenges in years to come?

I don't know, I don't think their is sufficient information available to make a conclusion. I do however know that because we lack information we should spend too much time worrying about the unknown.

I will add that so long as exposure is sufficiently small it shouldn't pose too much of an issue. However we should get a handle on environmental plastic contamination, to prevent our exposure from growing to the point where it could really be bad.
