切勿再翻用礦泉水膠樽? • 很多人會不知道再用的膠樽所產生的毒素,有人可能已經習慣使用或再用你的礦泉水樽,將它們放在車上或上班時用,實在不是一個好主意。這件事發生在杜拜,一個十二歲的女童,因為連續十六個月習慣使用一個SAFA 牌礦泉水樽, 她得了癌病。她習慣了帶著這個水樽上學,她還在水樽表面繪畫了圖案。在這個樽殼裏面,一種叫做 polyethylene terephthalate 或簡稱 PET 的塑膠,裏面含diethylhydroxylamine 或簡稱DEHA 的潛在致癌物質,一次過用是安全的,如果你真的要再用,用多幾日也無妨,最多一個星期吧!要將它們遠離熱力,重覆地去清洗或過水會分解那些致癌物溶在你所盛載的水中,如真的想重覆用一個樽,倒不如花一點錢去買一個較昂的專用水樽。這些錢,真的不應去吝嗇,你的家人,最好建議他們,特別是小童。 • Check http://www.plasticsinfo.org/food/index.html
