What s so bad about drinking boiled water from a plastic cup?

Plastic is unhygienic and contains toxins that are not suitable for the body.

There are a lot of chemical ingredients in it, which affects people's health, and every time you use boiling water to scald the plastic cup, it will have a very pungent smell, which is a chemical raw material;

Plastic itself is somewhat toxic, because it also contains chemical components, so drinking too much is not good for the body.

Yes.

Plastic cups refer to disposable containers used to hold beverages and tea. It is a non-degradable product and is the main ** of "white pollution". The largest use of disposable plastic cups is generally in beverage shops, hot and cold drink shops, bubble tea shops, hotels, restaurants and coffee shops, providing a variety of plastic cups for takeaway drinks and on-site use.

This kind of cup is a non-degradable product, and plastic cups drink water, and if you drink hot water, it may be harmful to the human body. If you drink cold water, it is generally on the body. 1. Harmful:

Plastic is a polymer chemical material, and when hot or boiling water is filled in a plastic cup, the macromolecules are easily separated. 2. No harm: plastic cups generally belong to food grade, made of polymer, usually have no effect on the body, drink cold water.

In daily life, if there are uncomfortable symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time for examination, and carry out ** in time.

Drinking hot water from plastic cups is generally not harmful to the body, but the quality of the plastic used by some unscrupulous businesses may be poor, so for the health and safety of the body, it is better to use glass or ceramic cups to drink water.

Because the plastic used in the manufacture of cups is made of harmless materials such as polyethylene that have been treated at high temperatures, the chemical properties of this material are relatively stable, and the decomposition of harmful substances will not occur at high temperatures, that is to say, using this cup to hold water will not cause other substances to dissolve in water, so it will not affect the health of the body.

Plastic Grade:

1. Polyester ———01-PET (PET bottle) Such as: mineral water bottles, carbonated drink bottles, beverage bottles do not recycle hot water.

2. High-density polyethylene - 02-HDPE such as: cleaning products, bath products.

3. PVC ———03—PVC such as: some decorative materials.

4. Low-density polyethylene - 04-LDPE such as: plastic wrap, plastic film, etc.

5. Polypropylene ———05-pp (can withstand temperatures above 100 degrees) such as: microwave oven lunch box.

6. Polystyrene———06-ps (heat-resistant 60-70 degrees, hot drinks will produce toxins, and styrene will be released when burning) Such as: bowls of instant noodle boxes, fast food boxes.

7. Other plastics**—— 07—others such as: kettles, cups, bottles.

There are certain harms in drinking hot water from a plastic cup, but it can't be generalized, it still depends on the number at the bottom of the cup.

Generally speaking, plastic cups made of PP and HDPE are safer and can be used to drink hot water; When the tritan material is heated, it will not release any bisphenol A, bisphenol S and any other bisphenol substances that are harmful to the nucleated human body, and it is also more suitable for holding hot water.

Some plastic cups will add plasticizers, and the hot water will volatilize the odor, resulting in the dissolution of toxic substances, thus causing harm to the human body. In addition, the internal microstructure of the plastic has many pores, which hide trapped dirt, and it is easy to breed bacteria if it is not cleaned.

These plastics contain a substance called polypropylene or PVC polyvinyl chloride, which is toxic, so when buying plastic cups, the car should open the lid and smell whether there is plastic or other smells, and all odors are unqualified.

Plastic cups have odor treatments

1. Boiling water to remove odor: If the plastic water cup has a strong odor, you can soak it in freshly boiled water, so that the harmful substances in the plastic cup can be brought out faster, and the odor of the plastic cup will be much lighter after soaking.

2. White vinegar to remove odor: white vinegar itself has the effect of cleaning and removing odors, so you can use white vinegar to soak plastic cups. Before soaking, wash the plastic cup with dish soap, then mix it with boiling water and white vinegar before soaking.

3. Baking soda to remove odor: Because baking soda has the ability to decontaminate and remove odors, baking soda can also be used to remove the odor of plastic water cups. You can put some baking soda in the water and soak a plastic cup in it.

4. Orange peel to remove odor: orange itself has a strong fragrance, and orange peel can also quickly eliminate the odor of plastic cups. After putting the fresh orange peel into the plastic cup, tighten the plastic cup with the cap and wash it with water the next day, you will find that the odor is gone.
