Use a translator to read but I leave something here

The report "The era of plastic" Research Team talks about the health effects of endocrine disruptors used as usual additives of plastic.

Endocrine disruptors are present in plastic food containers, such as bottles or cans and in cosmetic and hygiene products (not only in containers, but also as ingredients).

As explained in the report, endocrine disruptors that are released from plastics, mainly Bisphenol-A and phthalates, are related to diseases such as diabetes and loss of fertility, with malformations and with certain cases of cancer such as breast cancer , bladder or prostate.

Plastic types According to studies on endocrine disruption, all types of plastic (PET, PVC, Polystyrene ...) release endocrine disruptors. The problem is in the additives used in plastics, which are not reported on the labels.

Contrary to what the representative of the Spanish Plastics Center says in the report, we have the right to know all the substances with which they manufacture the containers and hygiene products that contain endocrine disruptors.

And it is not the obligation of researchers, such as Dr. Nicolás Olea, to demonstrate that these substances harm health. It is the obligation of administrations to protect the population against these toxins and to enforce the Principle of Caution.

Especially serious is the case of the population surrounding the Aljorna factory (Murcia), which manufactures 500,000 tons of Bisphenol-A per year. Around the plant the incidence of childhood cancer is three times higher than average.
