Plastics may lookinert, but the chemicals inside them are not. “There are chemicals used in plastics that are not tightly bound to the material, which means they easily leach away,” especially when exposed to heat, said Dr. Sheela Sathyanarayana, apediatricianand researcher at the University of Washington and the Seattle Children’s Research Institute.

塑料可能看起来没有活性，但此中的化学物资并不是如斯。华盛顿大学和西雅图儿童钻研所的钻研员、儿科大夫席拉·萨蒂亚纳拉亚纳说：“塑猜中利用的化学物资与质料没有慎密连系，这象征着它们很轻易流失，”特别是在受热时。

The two most concerning types of chemicals in plastics arephthalatesandbisphenols, Dr. Trasande said. Phthalates, which are typically added to plastics to make thempliableand soft, are used in plastic food wrap,vinyl flooringand personal care products like deodorants, nail polish, hair gels, shampoos, soaps and lotions. Bisphenols, including BPA, are more typically found in hard polycarbonate plastics such as water and juice bottles, food containers, eyeglass lenses and the linings of food and soda cans.

特拉桑德说，塑猜中最使人担忧的两种化学物资是邻苯二甲酸盐和双酚。塑猜中凡是会添加邻苯二甲酸盐以发生柔韧性，用于塑料食物包装、乙烯基地板和小我照顾护士产物——如止汗用品、指甲油、发胶、洗发水、番笕和乳液。包含BPA在内的双酚更常见于硬质聚碳酸酯塑猜中，比方水瓶和果汁瓶、食物容器、眼镜片和食物和汽水罐的内层。

A large body of research suggests that phthalates and bisphenols canact asendocrine disruptors, meaning that they either mimic or interfere with hormones in the body. The early troubling studies of phthalates and bisphenols were on rodents, but more recently, researchers have begun linking the chemicals to worrying effects

on humans, Dr. Trasande said.

大量钻研表白，邻苯二甲酸盐和双酚可以起到激素滋扰物的感化，这象征着它们可以仿照或滋扰体内的激素。特拉桑德说，初期关于邻苯二甲酸盐和双酚的使人不安的钻研成果来自于动物实行，而近期钻研者们逐步得到了这些物资对人体风险的证据。

BPA, on the other hand, can mimic estrogen — another hormone important to reproductive development and function — and has been linked to reduced fertility in men and women, later puberty in girls, earlier puberty in boys and behavioral problems in children.

另外一方面，双酚A可以仿照雌激素——另外

一种对生殖发育和功效很首要的激素——而且与男性和女性的生养能力降低、女孩的芳华期延迟、男孩的芳华期提早和儿童的举动问题有关。

There’s also growing evidence that exposure to hormone disruptors like phthalates and bisphenols is associated with a greater risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity. In a 2021 review, researchers noted that exposure to these and other endocrine disruptors from food, consumer products and the environment may increase the risk of obesity by a similar magnitude as more co妹妹only cited culprits like lack of exercise or following a poor diet.

另有愈来愈多的证据表白，接触邻苯二甲酸盐和双酚等激素滋扰物会增长患2型糖尿病、心脏病和肥胖症的危害。翻译划线句，长按文末小步伐码打卡，谜底下期颁布~
