食物中的鄰苯二甲酸酯
Phthalates in Food
鄰苯二甲酸酯是一種常在塑膠製造過程中用於軟化塑料的化合物(又稱"塑化劑")。它被廣泛用於不同的消費品,包括塑膠容器、個人護理產品和玩具等。鄰苯二甲酸酯在環境中可說無處不在,食物中含有小量的鄰苯二甲酸酯並不意外。這項研究從16個食物組別合共抽取了317個樣本,以檢測七種鄰苯二甲酸酯的含量。化驗結果顯示食品普遍含有鄰苯二甲酸酯。在進行風險評估後,可確定在一般食用情況下,這些樣本的鄰苯二甲酸酯含量不會對健康構成不良影響。
Phthalates is a large group of chemicals that are commonly used to soften plastics polymers (otherwise known as "plasticisers"). They are used in a wide range of consumer products including but not limited to plastic containers, personal care products and toys. They are ubiquitous in the environment and low levels of phthalates in food is not unexpected. A total of 317 samples in 16 food groups were tested for seven phthalates. The results showed that phthalates are widespread in food. Risk assessment confirmed that all these samples would not cause adverse health problem from phthalates alone upon usual consumption.
