Polystyrene - how to spot and avoid
Today we will not allow the many complex scientific studies of the harm of this product (including its use in construction). You just know what kind of damage this substance is causing to the Earth and us.
Harm to the health of the Planet.
A huge part of the products made from this material end up in landfills, where it may remain for more than 500 years and not even be subject to decay. This is a serious problem that must begin to tackle now before it's too late. The damage is obvious.
Harm to Human health.
Expanded polystyrene is foamed polystyrene, has a sharp odor, which already allows you to think about its harm.
Academician Maltsev even once called polystyrene "weapons of genocide". Fungi, bacteria and mosses are capable of forming colonies in Styrofoam.
Russian scientific research center for fire safety conducted numerous studies of polystyrene and came to the unequivocal conclusion — toxicity polystyrene correspond to the class of highly hazardous materials, it is recognized as highly toxic.
Contained in the polystyrene styrene — poison systemic toxicity, mutagenic, carcinogenic and an irritant effect
Styrene enters the body of polystyrene by inhalation — inhalation of vapors during use of products made of polystyrene. Prolonged contact with products made of polystyrene occurs chronic toxicity styrene. While a person are affected the Central and peripheral nervous system, hematopoietic system, digestive tract. Styrene also affects the metabolism in the body — metabolism of protein, fats and cholesterol. Styrene adversely affects a person's blood, causing leukemia, has a negative effect on the liver, can cause toxic hepatitis.
Special hazards styrene is that it has embryogenic effect, i.e., prolonged exposure causes deformity of the embryo in the womb
Known fact: most young women who lived at BAM in mobile homes (and they insulate this material) lost the ability to birth children. And in Belarus in houses with similar insulation children up to 14 years have five to six times more often than in ordinary homes
All this is causing irreparable harm to the health of people buying food in a package and unfortunately, living in houses, the construction of which was used this material. To check the design of the house and move into a wooden house outside the city – not the easiest task.
But something for your health you can do today - if you came to a food court, go on a picnic and are not able to use a glass or ceramic dish just prefer the cardboard!
Here's how the packaging looks, which you must avoid:
