Recently, a blog post "Never drink refrigerated bottled water" went viral, claiming that plastic bottles will release dioxins after being refrigerated in the refrigerator. In addition to being carcinogenic, dioxins also have reproductive toxicity and genetic toxicity, which are directly harmful. health and lives for future generations. In this regard, Dr. Yu Hongwei from the School of Chemical Engineering of Shijiazhuang University said that beverage bottles produced by regular manufacturers are made of polymer materials and do not contain dioxins, so they will not release dioxins at all. The rumors on the Internet have no scientific basis at all.

In the hot summer, iced drinks have become the first choice for citizens to quench their thirst.

Dioxins are a colorless, odorless, fat-soluble substance, so It is very easy to accumulate in organisms and will cause serious harm to the human body. In addition to being carcinogenic, it also has reproductive toxicity and genetic toxicity, directly endangering the health and life of future generations."

In this regard, Sun Xiaoyun, a professor at the School of Chemistry and Materials at Hebei Normal University, said that beverage bottles produced by regular manufacturers are made of polymer materials and do not contain dioxins, so they will not release dioxins at all. The rumors on the Internet have no scientific basis at all. . In addition, dioxin is a substance with a high melting point and is extremely difficult to dissolve in water. Only when plastic products such as polyvinyl chloride are burned, a chemical reaction will produce dioxins, which can enter the respiratory tract through the air and cause poisoning.

Yu Hongwei reminds citizens not to store too much mineral water in the car during summer and make sure to drink it within a short time. Plastic products commonly used at home should also be replaced every six months or so, because plastic products are prone to chemical reactions and release harmful substances after being used for a long time.
