Plastic food packaging is a part of everyday life: it wraps products in stores, keeps food in the refrigerator, and is used in many household products. But a new study raises questions about a compound that was presented as a safer alternative to previous chemicals. It is DINCH, a substance that makes plastic materials softer and more flexible. The study, published in the scientific journal Environment International, has linked exposure during p…
DINCH, also used in plastic packaging, may be linked to lower birth weight and fetal development problems, according to new research.
For the first time, researchers have identified a link between exposure to new "safe" plasticisers and the weight and growth problems encountered in infants. No plastic is safe to health. This is recalled in a new study published in early November in Environment International. In this study, researchers at the University of New York are alerting about exposure to new "safe" plasticisers capable of changing the weight and growth of the infant. In…
Exposure to a new generation of plasticizers considered "safe" is linked to lower birth weight in infants and complications in fetal development.
An American study based on more than 6,600 pregnancies has identified an association between exposure to DINCH and foetal development. This substance is used in food packaging in the European Union and the United States. DINCH is a plasticizer used to make plastic materials more flexible and more resistant. The substance is found [...]
DINCH, a chemical used in plastic food packaging and various consumer products, has been linked to low birth weight and fetal development problems. In a study that analyzed over 6,000 data points, it was determined that every tenfold increase in exposure to the chemical was associated with an average decrease of 27 grams in birth weight.
