Bahaya botol plastik!!!!

Botol Barah

at 11:17 PM

Kecenderungan penduduk negara ini menggunakan botol air mineral plastik

secara berulang kali untuk menjimatkan kos, sebenarnya boleh mengundang

maut.

Ini kerana kajian menunjukkan penggunaan botol dan pembungkus plastik

polyvinyl chloride (PVC) berulang kali akan mendedahkan penggunanya

terhadap unsur kimia seperti 'vinyl cloride monomer' (VCM) dan 'phthalates'.

VCM dikenalpasti mengandungi karsinogen yang boleh menyebabkan barah.

Pensyarah Kesihatan Persekitaran di Jabatan Kesihatan Masyarakat, Fakulti

Perubatan, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Prof Dr Jamal Hisham

Hashim, berkata botol plastik air mineral atau minuman ringan hanya boleh

digunakan semula sekali atau dua sebelum dibuang.

"Selain VCM dan phthalates, bekas plastik mengandungi bahan logam

berbahaya seperti kadmium yang digunakan sebagai 'plastisizer' iaitu untuk

meningkatkan kualiti plastik supaya warnanya cerah dan tidak kekuningan

biarpun lama digunakan. Penggunaan secara berulang boleh menyebabkan

kadmium di dalamnya terhakis dan mencemarkan makanan atau minuman,"

katanya.

"Pembungkus makanan daripada bahan PVC sepatutnya tidak boleh

mengandungi lebih daripada satu miligram per kilogram (mg/kg) VCM.

"Makanan yang dibungkus dengan PVC dan dicemari VCM melebihi 0.05mg /kg

tidak sesuai dimakan kerana boleh mendatangkan kesan mudarat pada

kesihatan," katanya.

Dr Jamal berkata, beg plastik makanan diperbuat daripada polyethylene (PE)

dan PE tidak mengandungi VCM. Jadi penggunaannya tidak menyebabkan

barah, namun masih tidak sesuai digunakan berulang-ulang.

Katanya, botol minuman diperbuat daripada polyethylene terephthalate (PET)

selamat digunakan dalam keadaan biasa, namun memanaskannya boleh

mengeluarkan 'phthalates'.

Phthalates disyaki boleh meniru hormon manusia, tetapi ia tidak menyebabkan

barah, namun ia boleh mengganggu fungsi hormon manusia.

"Jika peraturan ini tidak dipatuhi, ia boleh mendatangkan kesan negatif kepada

pengguna. Peraturan mengenai pembungkus dan bekas makanan daripada PVC

terkandung di dalam Akta Makanan 1983 dan Peraturan Makanan 1985.

"Namun tidak ramai menyedarinya kerana kesedaran terhadap penggunaan

barangan plastik untuk pembungkusan atau menyimpan makanan atau air masih

rendah," katanya.

Dr Jamal berkata, penggunaan botol plastik mengundang bahaya lain seperti

jangkitan kuman kerana bakteria boleh membiak berikutan bahan itu sukar dicuci

bersih dan melekat daki.

"Jika ragu-ragu mengenai jenis plastik yang boleh digunakan secara berulang

untuk menyimpan makanan, sila rujuk kepada Bahagian Kawalan Mutu

Kementerian Kesihatan," katanya.

Kenyataan Dr Jamal mengesahkan laporan Buletin Pengguna mengenai bahaya

penyalahgunaan botol plastik serta bekas makanan diperbuat daripada stirofom

dan polisterin.

Buletin itu diterbitkan Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal

Pengguna (KPDNHEP) dengan kerjasama Gabungan Persatuan Pengguna

Malaysia (Fomca).

Pengarah Komunikasi Fomca yang juga Timbalan Ketua Sidang Pengarang

Buletin Pengguna, Mohd Yusof Abdul Rahman, berkata pihaknya

mengetengahkan bahaya penggunaan botol plastik berulang kali kerana ramai

menggunakan botol air mineral sebagai bekas minuman di dalam peti sejuk.

"Lebih berbahaya, ramai menjadikan botol itu sebagai bekas minuman anak ke

sekolah, bekal ke pejabat atau untuk beriadah. Sedangkan botol berkenaan

hanya boleh digunakan sekali atau dua atau paling lama seminggu sebelum

perlu dibuang," katanya.

Mohd Yusof berkata, kurang pengetahuan dan kesedaran menyebabkan banyak

lagi amalan rakyat negara ini mendedahkan mereka kepada pelbagai penyakit

kronik.

Katanya, penggunaan kertas akhbar dan majalah, selain bekas makanan

diperbuat daripada stirofom atau polisterin, juga boleh mengakibatkan

tersebarnya logam ke dalam tubuh.

"Kertas akhbar dan majalah mengandungi timah hitam melebihi had dibenarkan.

Apabila timah hitam ini ada dalam tubuh, ia masuk ke saluran pernafasan dan

pencernaan, seterusnya sistem peredaran darah sebelum tersebar ke bahagian

lain seperti ginjal, hati, otak, saraf dan tulang. Ini cukup berbahaya dan tidak

boleh dijadikan pembungkus makanan.

"Bahan pembungkus stirofom dan polisterin pula kini cukup popular, tetapi kajian

mendapati ia mengandungi bahan unsur karsinogen," katanya.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Alam Flora Sdn Bhd, Mohamed Siraj Razack, turut

memberi amaran mengenai bahaya penggunaan botol plastik, bekas menyimpan

makanan serta bahan pembungkus jenis stirofon atau polisterin yang

disifatkannya pembunuh senyap.

"Bahan berasaskan plastik itu boleh digunakan sekali dua saja. Jika dibasuh

berulang kali, bahagian dalamnya terhakis dan mengeluarkan bahan kimia yang

memudaratkan kesihatan," katanya.

Mohamed Siraj berkata, bahan kimia dalam bekas plastik mudah terhasil apabila

terkena cahaya matahari, misalnya botol mineral bagi mengisi air minuman yang

ditinggalkan dalam kereta.

"Bekas plastik terbabit sepatutnya dikitar semula untuk dijadikan barangan

berasaskan plastik lain yang tiada kaitan dengan makanan.

"Sebaiknya, untuk menyimpan makanan atau minuman, gunakan bahan dibuat

khusus untuk digunakan berulang kali, misalnya termos atau jenis plastik tahan

panas dan khusus untuk menyimpan makanan," katanya.

Mohamad Siraj berkata, kepanasan makanan atau minuman yang disimpan

dalam bekas plastik tertentu juga boleh menghasilkan bahan kimia yang

memudaratkan kesihatan, misalnya amalan minum teh tarik bungkus.

"Teh tarik seeloknya diminum menggunakan cawan kerana wap yang keluar

daripada plastik pembungkus yang bercampur dengan teh boleh menyebabkan

tindak balas kimia.

"Kari panas dibungkus menggunakan bahan plastik juga amalan tidak baik dan

kesannya sama seperti teh tarik bungkus," katanya.

Mohamed Siraj berkata, semua barangan plastik diterima oleh pusat kitar

semula. Sehubungan itu, kesedaran terhadap bahaya penggunaan bekas plastik

secara berulang akan mengalihkan perhatian pengguna untuk mengitar semula

barangan terbabit dalam menjaga alam sekitar

Durable plastic

By LEOW YONG MAY

Tupperware has proven that it has what it takes to be a household name.

ASK anyone to name a plastic container of any shape, colour or material, and more often than not, the word Tupperware comes up.

Indeed, Tupperware, a renowned household brand name with a 60-year global presence (45 years in Malaysia), has made a name for itself as a world-class manufacturer of containers that last a lifetime.

Trusted for generations and designed for everyday use, Tupperware products have passed stringent tests and are extremely durable. These are quality products that are food-grade safe, which is important for family health. They are also designed for repeated usage, thus reducing the need for polystyrene containers that will inevitably end up as garbage.

Attractive: Organise your kitchen with Tupperware’s range of storage systems and utensils.

Gone are the days when Tupperware parties were organised by housewives. Today, Tupperware Brands Corporation has evolved into a multi-brand, multi-category, direct sales conglomerate. Brands under the corporation include BeautiControl, NaturCare, Nutrimetics, Fuller Cosmetics, Nuvo, Avroy Shlain and Swissgarde.

Plastic containers today are more than just pretty boxes that store your favourite snacks or leftovers. Consumers nowadays make it a point to look for products that are safe, eco-friendly, of high quality, and able to keep food fresh. “Tipuware” is a name commonly used to refer to Tupperware lookalikes and these are usually unable to keep food fresh and crisp.

Because of Tupperware’s assurance of its products being safe and of superior quality, many Malaysians have chosen to put their trust in the brand. With that in mind, Tupperware has launched a campaign entitledCome HOME To Tupperware Brands. HOME stands for: Health, Organisation, Money, Environment – which make up the core values of Tupperware.

All Tupperware products are made from safe, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic materials; hence they do not release harmful chemicals into your food or liquid contents. Seeing how the microwave has become such a popular mode of cooking, Tupperware has taken the effort to ensure that all materials used in its products adhere to strict guidelines provided by international bodies such as the Toxic Substances Control Act Inventory (TSCA) in the United States, and are safe for microwave use.

It also brings order to your home – whether in the fridge, freezer, kitchen or cabinet – by providing a range of products to serve different purposes. To keep food fresh while you are in the outdoors, there is the GOFLEX! containers. Or you could opt for the FreezerMate range which helps seal in the freshness and reduces contamination when you store food in the fridge or freezer.

Additionally, Tupperware stays relevant in today’s society by offering modern and contemporary products with designs that have withstood the test of time. Their designs have won prestigious awards and recognition worldwide, among them the Reddot Awards and, more recently, the 2009-2010 Brand Laureate Award for being the Best Brand in Consumer (Food Storage).

Apart from its exceptional form and function, Tupperware also provides the opportunity for people to earn a decent income. There are currently more than 100,000 Tupperware Brands consultants in Malaysia who have been maximising their income, and many of them can share inspiring success stories. Today, Tupperware has over 70 business centres in Malaysia and Singapore.

Keep rice fresh in the Tupperware Rice Dispenser which slips snugly into any corner.

What’s more important is that Tupperware helps save Mother Earth from further pollution. Due to the durability of its products, less than 5% of Tupperware products are found in landfills. The company even has a take-back policy whereby broken products are sent to a recycling centre to be made into non-food items like plastic cabinets, watering cans, flower pots and heavy-duty plastics.

While the company continues to educate users on reducing waste, Tupperware still believes that it is the consumer who can make a difference.

Despite the accolades which Tupperware has achieved over the years, the brand is not resting on its laurels. The company constantly invests in cutting-edge technologies, and carries out research and development to be at the forefront of design and innovation.

Tupperware products come with a guarantee against chipping, cracking and peeling. Nevertheless, like all products, Tupperware may eventually suffer defects in material or function. If that happens, all you need to do is call your Tupperware Brands consultant for a free replacement (terms and conditions apply).

To view the extensive range of products, visit tupperware.com.my. Tupperware is one of the household brands participating in FemmeCity. For more exciting developments on Tupperware, drop by FemmeCity (organised by Clove) at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from July 30 to Aug 1. Admission to the fair is free.
