Safer Plastics That Lock In Potentially Harmful PlasticizersWashington DC (SPX) Aug 13, 2010 Scientists have published the first report on a new way of preventing potentially harmful plasticizers from migrating from one of the most widely used groups of plastics. The advance could lead to a new generation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics that are safer than those now used in packaging, medical tubing, toys, and other products, they say. Their study is in ACS' Macromolecules, a bi-weekly journal. Helmut Reinecke and colleagues note that manufacturers add large amounts of plastici ... read more |
