Recently, clear plastic box there are well-known plastic packaging box online media for Coca-Cola, Lee Kum Kee and other 12 brands of beverages and condiments plastic bottles were tested, the results showed that one of the nine PET ( polyester ) material bottle was found to contain carcinogenic heavy metals antimony, the remaining 3 PP ( polypropylene ) and HDPE ( high density polyethylene ) bottle material is not detected antimony .After detecting announced March 8 , China Beverage Industry Association responded that the detection method Sohu Health Channel UN [ microblogging ] home authority is not the method used by the national standards required , the data did not identify the unit simultaneously released without scientific, can not serve as a basis to determine whether the product is qualified .Experts advise: drink acidic beverages PET packagingYesterday , clamshell boxes an associate professor in charge of the detection of Clothing Technology Materials Science YAN Gong said in PET plastic material up to antimony residues , as in the synthesis of PET , antimony is commonly used catalysts. Thirty or forty years ago, we introduce Japanese technology , has been used up to now , but the extensive use of antimony harm is great, antimony can precipitate to beverages , especially acidic beverages such as cola easily dissolved heavy metals." In the test , we found that higher levels of antimony relatively inexpensive plastic bottles of branded products , of which blister packs packaging there may be a regeneration, the regeneration of secondary issues . Currently antimony content standards for beverage bottle is certainly not strictly , follow or the 1991 standard . " YAN Gong said," with the antimony catalyst for the production of PET material clear plastic box packaging as plastic bottles , effective and relatively inexpensive , since we disclose the results came out , the industry indeed have some impact , but the environmental point of view, we call on businesses should packaging boxes wholesale be made to improve technically and to reduce the use of antimony oxide as a catalyst , use titanium catalyst synthesis of PET. "According to reports, a carcinogenic effect of trivalent antimony , high temperature, acidic ( alkaline ) drinks, long term storage, these are favorable factors to promote the transfer of antimony from the packaging to the beverage . If the dress is acidic substances, antimony easier to accelerate precipitation . To stay away from " Antimony " harm , drink as much as possible PET packaging acidic ( alkaline ) beverages, while paying attention to choose from close to the production date , good storage conditions of the product .Dong Jinshi, food safety experts say , in the case of existing standards lag , qualified necessarily safe , consumers should keep your eyes open to see the fine print , note promising material bottles , PET material as buying less bottled drinks .In addition, YAN Gong introduced , recycling waste PET plastic bottles into the textile industry has more than 10 years , with six bottles of Coke will be able to do a chemical fiber garments .Antimony (Sb): toxic irritantAntimony atomic number 51 in the periodic table , is A metal element. Element symbol Sb. Silver-white lustrous metal hard and brittle . Toxic , the minimum lethal dose ( rats , intraperitoneal ) 100mg/kg. Irritation. Legend of Ancient Western had a lot of people trying to take stibnite clam shells for sale containing antimony to treat leprosy , the results of disease progression, one died .According to reports, antimony for human health depends on the cumulative amount is exceeded , and smoking , as it is harmful to long for people to figure out. Plastic bottles and clothing are daily contact with people , even if the product standard , the long run can not rule out the potential risks of antimony on the human body .When selecting PET plastic bottles, should be avoided as much as possible to buy PET packaging acidic foods ; while paying attention to select from the production date near, storage conditions are good products.
