Experts said that the study can be applied to humans, showing that long-term inhalation of "plasticizer" has a greater impact on men than women. Plasticizer DEHP is an environmental hormone. Although its toxicity to human body is not clear, it is widely distributed in various foods, and its toxicity is much higher than that of melamine. It must stay in the body for a period of time before it can be excreted, which may lead to the decline of immunity and fertility in the long run. Plasticizer DEHP is similar to artificial hormone, which will endanger male reproductive ability and promote female precocious puberty. Long-term large intake will lead to liver cancer. Because children are in the development period of endocrine system and reproductive system, DEHP will bring more potential harm to children. 1, which may cause gender disorders in children, including shortened genitalia and unclear sexual characteristics. 2. Although it is impossible to confirm whether it is carcinogenic to humans, it will cause carcinogenic reactions to animals. 3.
