Plastics Softener May Cause Health Problems For Young Boys
Submitted by Nightmist on Mon, 2001-09-10 00:56
A popular plastics softener used in the creation of blood bags and tubing for medical practitioners may cause development problems for children, especially boys, according to new research by the FDA. This story on Excite News suggests that the plastics softener may leach into fluids fed through tubings or blood bags, and into the patient's body. The softener can cause problems with the development of sperm and the development of the testicles.
