Triangle Symbol Meaning In Plastic Bottles

It is a sign that reycle usually in plastic bottles, plastic drink either plain, shampoo, baby bottles and others, here I will try to explain what the symbols mean, side effects and the impact may be useful.
 
1. PET — Polyethylene TerephthalatePET — Polyethylene Terephthalate
Usually, at the bottom of plastic bottles, recycling logo printed with the number 1 in the center and writing PETE or PET (polyethylene terephthalate). Used for plastic bottles clear / transparent / translucent like mineral water bottles, juice bottles, and almost any other beverage bottles. Bottle type PET / PETE is recommended ONLY USE ONCE, why? If it is too often used, especially used to keep warm let alone hot water, will result in the polymer layer on the bottle will melt and release substances carcinogenic (can cause cancer).

In making PET, using a material called antimony trioxide, which is dangerous for workers associated with the processing or recycling, as antimony trioxide enters the body through the respiratory system, which is caused by inhaling dust containing compound.
 
Contamination of these compounds over a long period will experience: skin and respiratory tract irritation. For working women, these compounds increase menstrual problems and miscarriage, even when giving birth, their children are likely to experience slow growth until the age of 12 months.

2. HDPE — High Density Polyethylene
HDPE — High Density Polyethylene
Generally, at the bottom of plastic bottles, recycling logo printed with the number 2 in the middle, as well as the writings of HDPE (high density polyethylene) in the bottom of the triangle. Used for milk bottle white milk, tupperware, gallons of drinking water, folding chairs, and others.
 
HDPE is a plastic material that is safe to use because of its ability to prevent chemical reaction between the plastic packaging made ​​from HDPE with food / drinks are packed.
 
HDPE has the properties of a material stronger, harder, more opaque and resistant to high temperatures. Just as PET, HDPE is also recommended only for a single use, since the release of antimony trioxide compounds continues to increase over time.
 
3. V — Polyvinyl Chloride
V — Polyvinyl Chloride
Recycling logo printed (sometimes red) with the number 3 in the middle, and writing V - V means of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which is the most difficult type of plastic that is recycled.
 
Plastics can be found on the plastic wrap (cling wrap), and bottles.
PVC contains DEHA can react with foods that are packed with plastic made ​​from PVC is now in direct contact with food such as DEHA is melted at a temperature of-15oC.
The reaction that occurs between PVC plastic packaged food is potentially harmful to the kidneys, liver and body weight.
 
Should we look for alternatives other food packaging that does not contain softeners, such as plastics made ​​of polyethylene or natural materials (eg banana leaf).

4. LDPE — Low Density Polyethylene
LDPE — Low Density Polyethylene
Listed recycling logo with the number 4 in the middle, as well as writing LDPE
- LDPE (low density polyethylene) is a type of brown plastic (thermoplastic / made from petroleum), used for the food, plastic packaging and bottles of soft.

The mechanical properties of LDPE plastic types are strong, somewhat translucent, flexible and somewhat greasy surface. At temperatures below 60 ° C is very resistant to chemicals, power protection against moisture quite well, but not good for the other gases such as oxygen.
 
These plastics can be recycled, either for goods that require flexibility but strong, and has good resistance to chemical reaction.
 
Items made ​​from LDPE is difficult to destroy, but still good for the food because it is difficult to react chemically with foods that are packed with this material.

5. PP — Polypropylene
PP — Polypropylene
Listed recycling logo with the number 5 in the middle, as well as writing PP
- PP (polypropylene) is the best choice for plastic materials, especially for dealing with food and drinks as a place to store food, drink bottles and foremost drink bottles for babies.

 
Characteristic was the usual transparent bottles that are not clear or cloudy. Polypropylene is stronger and lighter with low vapor permeability, good resistance to fat, stable to high temperatures and quite shiny
Look for the code number 5 when buying goods made ​​of plastic to store a variety of food and beverage packaging.

6 . PS — Polystyrene
PS — Polystyrene
Listed recycling logo with the number 6 in the middle, and writing the PS
- PS (polystyrene) was discovered in 1839, by Eduard Simon, a pharmacist from Germany, by accident.PS commonly used as a place to eat Styrofoam, disposable drinking places, and others. Polystyrene is an aromatic polymer material that can emit styrene into food when food is in contact. In addition to the food, styrene can also be obtained from cigarette smoke, fumes and building construction materials.

 
This material should be avoided as dangerous to health than the brain, interfering with the female hormone estrogen which result in reproductive problems, and growth and nervous system, as well as the material is difficult to recycle. Even when recycled, these materials require a long process and a long time. This material can be identified by the code number 6, but if the code number is not listed on the packaging of plastic, this material can be recognized by burning (a last resort and should be avoided). When burned, these materials will emit yellow-orange flame, and leave soot.

Put Mobile In Waist caused Brittle bones

if you usually put the cell phone strapped waist? There is a good start to stop this habit, because it can cause bone loss. Based on research Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey, found that cell phones are often placed in the hip may reduce bone density in the pelvic area which is used for bone grafting.

http://content.answers.com/main/content/img/oxford/Oxford_Food_Fitness/0198631472.osteoporosis.1.jpg

According to researchers, the electromagnetic fields emitted by cell phones dangerous bone density. Therefore, the next generation of mobile phones is expected to reduce the user's exposure to electromagnetic fields. "For a while, it's good to make sure that placing a cell phone as far away from the body, as long as we live," said researcher Dr. Tolga Atay, as quoted by AP.

In a study published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, the researchers used X-ray absorptiometry to measure bone density at the circumference of the pelvis (iliac wings / wing bone grafting sacrum and colon) in 150 men who carry cell phones on belt their waists. The participants were carrying mobile phones in the hip about 15 hours a day, and have been using cell phones for about six years.

Study found decreased bone density in the pelvis in which the participants bring their cell phones. According to researchers, the difference was not significant and did not approach the limit density decrease as people with osteoporosis. However, the man was still relatively young (average age 32) and a decrease in bone mass will still continue.

Iliac wings and pelvis are widely used for bone implant. This means that any reduction in bone density will affect reconstruction surgery. In the process, bone density is very important to get good results, physicians should consider the effects of exposure elektromanetik field of mobile phones.
