Plasticizer ubiquity

The intrinsic properties of carbonaceous materials (ubiquity, variety of genetical types, fair resistance to geological agents, plasticity or brittleness, adsorption of uranium, metamorphic evolution) added to their sensitivity to... [Pg.132]

Starch offers several potential advantages as a raw material for plastics applications. It is annually renewable, obtained from a variety of plant sources and is a low-cost material. Interest in its use in biodegradable plastics is also driven by the inherent biodegradability of starch and the ubiquity of microorganisms capable of utilizing starch as a carbon source. [Pg.716]

The geography of plasticizers is both like and imlike miasma. Locally - that is, bodily - they are omnipresent. In an experiment where families ate food that was not processed or wrapped in plastic, individuals reduced their BPA burden by 60 per cent. This seems like a large amount until you consider that BPA is water soluble, and leaves the body in six to twelve hours, meaning the families were being continuously exposed to plasticizers through unknown pathways (Staples et al. 1998 Rudel et al 2011). Plastics off-gas in homes, offices, manufacturing sites and outdoors. This lurking ubiquity is miasmic. [Pg.143]

More than just a substance, plastic is the very idea of infinite transformation. It is, as the vernacular name suggests, ubiquity rendered visible. [Pg.26]
