from The National Pulse:

A massive new study has revealed that plastic contains over 4,000 toxic chemicals.

Scientists cataloged over 16,000 components in plastic products, revealing that 4,200, or 26 percent, pose dangers linked to their “persistent, bioaccumulative, mobile and/or toxic” characteristics. The findings are part of the PlastChem report, recently released ahead of upcoming UN negotiations on a global plastic pollution treaty.
