食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)澳媒報道,由于塑料微珠進(jìn)入水體系統(tǒng)會造成污染,澳大利亞兩家大型超市Woolworths和Coles已承諾下架含塑料微珠產(chǎn)品。
據(jù)報道,在磨砂膏、洗面奶、肥皂和牙膏中都可以找到微珠或塑料微粒??茖W(xué)家估計,一瓶磨砂膏平均大約有30萬微珠,通常含微珠的產(chǎn)品會標(biāo)上含聚乙烯成分、HDPE(高密度聚乙烯)和PEHD。
環(huán)保主義者迪(Jon Dee)正發(fā)起在澳大利亞禁止微珠產(chǎn)品的活動。他表示,大多數(shù)人都不知道他們正在使用的個人護(hù)理產(chǎn)品含有塑料微珠。人們認(rèn)為它們含杏仁和核桃等天然成分,但事實是這些產(chǎn)品含有可污染水源的塑料微珠。
部分原文報道如下:
Microbeads or microplastics can be found in common scrubs, face washes, soaps and toothpastes.
Billions of the tiny particles are being washed into waterways with little knowledge of product users, and causing havoc in Australia's water systems.
Scientists estimate there are about 300,000 microbeads in an average bottle of face scrub, usually labelled as polyethylene in the product ingredients or HDPE (high-density polyethylene), or even PEHD.
