Is the disposable lunch box toxic? Nowadays, the pace of life is very fast, and many people are racing against time to work or study. For the convenience, most people will choose to use the disposable lunch box, which also saves the time of washing dishes. So is the disposable lunch box toxic?
Whether the disposable lunch box is toxic 1 The secondary lunch box is a foamed plastic tableware. If the food contained exceeds 65 degrees, it will precipitate its own toxins and invade the food, just like plastic bags can't meet high temperatures. Moreover, if the process is not well controlled in the processing process, the toxicity will be even greater. Eating with such a lunch box is equivalent to chronic poisoning. Although the toxicity is weak, it will still cause harm to the liver and kidneys after long-term use.
At present, disposable fast food boxes are made of different materials and have different toxicity. However, disposable fast food boxes are industrial products, and they will be toxic to the body if used for a long time.
Suggestion:
1 Use disposable lunch boxes sparingly and carefully at ordinary times, and it is better to bring your own lunch boxes, which is both hygienic and economical.
2. It is best not to heat the lunch box made of pure PP in the microwave oven.
3. The foamed plastic lunch boxes used by vendors should be rejected.
4. Some bad manufacturers add plasticizers to facilitate processing. Generally, this plasticizer is soluble in oil. If it is hot oil, it dissolves more. Therefore, if there is oil in food, a small amount of plasticizer will be dissolved in oil and then transferred to food. If it is exposed to plasticizers for a long time or excessively, it will have a certain impact on the body. It is necessary to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages when using disposable lunch boxes, and qualified lunch boxes can be used with confidence. Try to avoid using disposable lunch boxes to contain high-temperature food, fried food, vinegar and cooking wine mixed food.

Eating with such a lunch box is equivalent to taking poison chronically. Short-term will not have any effect, but long-term use will still affect the liver and kidneys.
Hazard 2: Long degradation time
The degradation time of this plastic product needs at least 200 years. Plastic staying in the field for a long time will affect the water absorption of crops and inhibit development. If livestock eat plastic carelessly, it will cause digestive tract diseases and even death. Moreover, the site filled with plastic has loose foundation, which makes bacteria infiltrate and pollute the environment.
Hazard 3: Secondary pollution
If these plastic lunch boxes are directly incinerated, it will cause serious secondary pollution to the environment. When plastics are burned, not only a lot of black smoke is produced, but also dioxins are produced. When dioxins enter the soil, it takes at least1May to decompose. And dioxins can harm plants and animals.

2. Because a large amount of plasticizer is added to plastic tableware, when the tableware exceeds a certain heat resistance limit, it will lead to the release of plasticizer, which will interfere with the endocrine system of the human body, especially for the male reproductive system. Great influence, so everyone must pay attention to it.
3. According to some studies, some plastic lunch boxes are made of different materials.

According to regulations, the main raw material for producing lunch boxes is polypropylene, with a content of about 80%; As a filler, the content of industrial calcium carbonate should not exceed 20%. The surface of qualified lunch boxes should be smooth and free of impurities or black spots. The inferior disposable lunch boxes contain a lot of toxic substances such as industrial calcium carbonate and paraffin wax, and some also use waste plastics and talcum powder to produce lunch boxes.
3.

After ingesting a large amount of lead, it may affect the nervous system, such as ADHD.

4. Bacterial infection: The shelf life of sterilized disposable chopsticks is up to 4 months. Once the shelf life has passed, it is likely to bring yellow staphylococcus, Escherichia coli and hepatitis.
5, damage to digestive function: disposable chopsticks are bleached with hydrogen peroxide in the production process, which is highly corrosive and causes corrosion to the mouth, esophagus and even gastrointestinal tract; If talcum powder is used in the grinding process, it will accumulate slowly in the human body and cause gallstones.
6. Damage to respiratory function: Disposable chopsticks must be fumigated with sulfur during the production process, so SO2 will be released when exposed to heat during use, which will corrode respiratory mucosa.
7. Disposable plastic lunch boxes have become a part of our daily life, whether it is luxury hotels or food stalls along the street; Whether it is a bus station or an airport, you can see their shadows everywhere.
