Researchers surprised at levels of toxicity in standard plastic products
- JackMorgan 3y agoI hope for a future where all plastics are banned. It's nearly impossible to avoid these toxic chemicals in everything.

The fine article is useful in understanding the detailed behavior of the various components of the plastics. In a very cursory reading though, I didn't find any mention of dilution - which is the normal way to deal with toxicity (both in disposal, degradation and tradeoffs between use and not-use - such as leaching during use.)
