US-New research indicates that the yellow paint and dye products or keep cancer risk

Recently, the U.S. team at Rutgers University New research indicates , PCB-11 was not as toxic PCBs, but clothing, printing , plastic yellow dye commonly containing the substance , showing very good chance of contact with the people in your life ; The researchers suggested that the Government should re-evaluate whether frequent contact increases the risk of cancer .Wholesale masking tape

Taiwan has erupted , " Rice bran oil poisoning " in 1979 , was due to the manufacture of edible rice bran oil pipeline rupture PCBs into the oil , causing black smoke eaters body skin oil secretions. Since the chemical properties of PCBs with heat and insulation , in the past often used in paints , solvents , capacitors, thermal insulation and a variety of devices , but many studies have indicated that PCBs and fat solubility , easy to accumulate in the brain , skin and internal organs , causing neurological diseases , immune and reproductive systems , countries and therefore gradually disable the substance .

Similar chemical structure to PCBs PCB-11, is still low doses used in a variety of yellow paint and stain ; Rutgers University team after random testing of consumer goods PCB-11 content found 16 kinds of yellow clothing, including leading U.S. retail " Wal-Mart " stores sell children's clothing , as well as 28 postcards , napkins and other surfaces with yellow printing paper products in 26 , contain PCB-11, of which 15 are produced by the United States factories.Masking tape


Associate Professor of Environmental Chemistry at Rutgers University , said Lisa Rodenburg , a single piece of content everyday PCB-11 is actually " irrelevant " because the PCB-11 such chemicals will accumulate through the food, water , skin contact , etc. in vivo, therefore , " the frequency of contact ," the impact on health, much larger than a single " exposure amount " ; but " as long as the yellow " commodity , almost contain PCB-11, displays the probability of contact with people living in extreme PCB-11 high .

"Even if consumers do not buy yellow clothing and daily necessities, but also to avoid touching the yellow print , " Rodenburg stressed that " it is still possible inhalation of PCB-11 from the air ." So she suggested that the Government should re-evaluate , in close contact with people under conditions PCB-11 , the cancer risk is increased.Washi tape


Rodenburg 's remarks are not alarmist, because the United States Environmental Engineering, University of Iowa team in the 2013 study published in "Environmental Science and Technology " journal that he had pointed out that the more developed industrial and commercial East Chicago , Indiana , in direct contact with the people from the PCB -11 more opportunities , higher concentrations in theory, but in fact all over the farmlands of Iowa with almost the same population , the representative of such " environmental hormones " is not only a great spread through direct contact and influence.Sellotape
