- cyberax 3y agoYes, it is. And it is assumed to be safe in the concentrations used. This finding has not yet been confirmed in real studies on humans, only on tissue models. I just checked, and my rinse aid has 0.2% of ethoxylated alcohols. So this would be around 500 times dilution already, and the rinse aid is further diluted by about 100x by the dishwasher. The article found some effects at 1:20000 dilution. So I think that it might be concerning, but not too alarming.
- chefandy 3y agoYeah it would suck if it ended up being really harmful because alcohol ethoxylates are in way more stuff than rinse aids. https://www.ewg.org/guides/substances/16368-ALCOHOLETHOXYLATESC10C16SODIUMSALT/ https://www.ewg.org/guides/substances/16368-ALCOHOLETHOXYLAT...
