Experts from the NYU Langon Health Report, to make plastic household items, present a childhood health risk, which can increase for a long time.
This is the main result of online publishing in the journal on September 21, after hundreds of latest studies on the subject. Lancet child and teen health.
This article is being released this week with a gathering of experts in New York City to discuss the global impact of plastic on human health.
In their report, authors outline decades of evidence that materials often involved in industrial and domestic goods can be helpful in disease and disability, especially when they are initially facing life. This review focuses on three classes of chemicals – plastic elastic, fetchites used to make basepinols, which provide stiffness and perfectional substances (PFA), which help to remove the material in heat and remove the water.
The results of the studies, which together, evaluated thousands of pregnant mothers, fetuses and children, tied these toxins to long -term precision concerns, including heart disease, obesity, infertility and asthma.
“Our searches indicate the role of plastics,” said the main author and specialist of the study, Leonardo Transand, MD, MP, said. “If we want children to be healthy and live longer, we need to be serious about limiting the use of these content,” said Jim G. Hendrick, a professor at the Pediatrics of the NYUGSM School of Medicine.
These chemicals are found in various items, such as food packaging, cosmetics, and paper receipts, Transand noted, which is also a professor in the health department. Experts have found that since plastics are used, warm, or chemically treated, micro -plastic and nanoteral particles are released and they are informed.
The chemicals used in plastic content have been shown to indicate maximum immune response (inflammation) in the body’s tissues, as well as disrupt the functioning of hormones that affect the physical process. It is also believed that it also affects mental development, with numerous studies associated with the loss of IQ IQ and neurodepulogetical issues such as autism and attention deficit.
The Lancet Review also sought strategies to help reduce plastic use and help protect human health.
“Here are safe, easy steps to restrict their children’s plastics,” said Transande, who served as the Director of the NYUGSM School of Medicine School of Medicine’s Division of the Medicine School of Medicine to investigate the Environmental School of Medicine and the Director of the Center of the NYU Langon Health.
They say converting plastic containers with glasses or stainless steel, and avoiding microwave and dishwashing plastics have been helpful.
Transand added that by offering a clear guidance, health care parents can empower parents to make informed decisions about these products and attract them to safe powers. He also advised that physicians contribute to schools and community organizations to engage younger generations about the health risks of plastic exposure.
At the policy level, researchers demand strict regulatory measures to reduce the use of unnecessary plastic items, especially in low -income communities that have deep precision differences.
Their review came to the most recent period of the recent implementation of the United Nations World Plastic Agreement in Geneva last month. The developing contract represents an international effort to tackle plastic pollution, in which more than 100 countries demand legally binding hats on production.
According to Transand, the results in the article support the urgent need for a strong agreement not only to protect the environment but also to protect human health.
He noted that although the economic value of the plastic industry is generally accumulated as a barrier to enforcing the rules, but as a result, health care costs are high, its research estimates only reach $ 250 billion in the United States only.
The World Plastic Agreement will be part of the debate during the NYU Langoon Health’s 2025 plastic, Human Health, and Solution Symposium. In the event, experts will discuss the latest research on the health effects of microplastics, recent policy developments, and the rules in dealing with this public health crisis.
Despite its health risks, plastic pediatric medicines can play an essential role, such as its use in ventilators and tubes for premature children, nebulizers for asthma children, and masks that help prevent the spread of infection. Researchers say these results do not challenge the need for material in health care, but rather highlights the risks of unnecessary use somewhere else.
The symposium will be held on September 22 at NYU Langon Health. The program will be streamed directly to YouTube for registered participants.
