Re: does drinking bottled water swallow a lot of plastic particles and cause cancer?
in 2008, Wan Yun Yang had experimented with bottled water in China. He detected plastic particles at that time. "I think that's the only way to do that in China because our country imports a lot of second-hand plastic from abroad." He told China News Weekly. When he saw the report of Orb Media recently, the first reaction was shock. The bottled water problem was so widespread that it would attract more people's attention.
Wan Yang survey the literature found that the harm of plastic particles to the human body is obvious, such as oral toxicity, dermatitis, acromegaly osteolysis, respiratory diseases and cancer. Why does WHO and FDA have no exact answers? Wan Yunyang explained that "most of the research on FDA and WHO comes from funded research institutions whose independence and interest are controlled. Western scholars have always been without a lack of relevant research, but the next rigorous scientific conclusion is very difficult, and scientists generally don't come to a conclusion on something that is not quite sure. " The experimental data of
in the law department of the Department of law of Guangxi Normal University, he mentioned in the graduate thesis "the legal regulation of the environmental problems brought by bottled water", the reason that many people do not choose tap water is because "bottled water is popular because of convenience, but in China, a more real side is a hard demand under the public water quality crisis." Seeking is a helpless choice when people do not trust in running water. Guangzhou, Wuhan, Yizhou and other places have caused local residents to rush to buy bottled water because of local water pollution.
the article mentioned that the US FDA requires tap water to receive hundreds of tests a month, and the current monitoring mechanism in China is still relatively large. The guiding opinions on strengthening health supervision and monitoring of drinking water are some general directions and lack of specific operability.
in China, people now enter the diversified drinking water age, and there are many choices in the way of drinking water and water quality. Mr. Shu, the director of the Department of environmental hygiene in the school of military preventive medicine, Third Military Medical University, has long paid attention to the safety of the public drinking water. In the recent publication of "the study of the relationship between drinking water and health under the background of diversified drinking water," the construction of the related standard system still has a great gap.
according to Shu Weiqun, according to Shu Weiqun, the state is required to follow the sanitary standard for drinking water in all forms of drinking water regardless of the form of drinking water. No matter what type of drinking water is packaged, it is required to follow the GB19298-2014 national standard of food safety - packaging drinking water. But the problem is that, on the one hand, it is unable to meet the diversified water quality requirements. In addition, the health standards are mostly aimed at the absence of permittivity and chronic poisoning. However, the emergence of new chemical pollutants and new pathogens can also easily harm human health.
Wan Yang concluded that one of the strange circles at present is that natural water quality is worse, so people choose to drink tap water; public water quality events, tap water can't be trusted, people turn to bottled water, and bottled water is a more concealed problem, who will care in the end?
