7月10日，据中国发展改革委网站消息，卫生部将塑料微珠定义为“故意添加到冲洗化妆品中的小于5毫米的固体塑料颗粒，以起到擦洗、去角质或清洁的作用”。
微珠通常由石油副产品聚乙烯或聚丙烯制成，是一种广泛应用于化妆品行业起清洁作用的固体塑料颗粒。微珠对人体危害极小，但这些含有增塑剂的微珠，吸附各种有害物质后，随着下水道排入湖海，会极大威胁生物环境。更严重的是，如果被动物误食，通过生物链最终危害人体。
Plastic micro-beads in cosmetics are harmful to human health and environment!
On July 10, according to the website of the National Development and Reform Commission, the ministries define micro-beads as "solid plastic particles less than 5mm in size that have been intentionally added to rinse-off cosmetic products in order to play the role of scrubbing, exfoliating or cleansing".
Micro-particles, usually made of polyethylene or polypropylene, are a kind of solid plastic particles widely used in cosmetics industry. The micro-beads do little harm to human body, but after adsorbing various harmful substances, these beads containing plasticizers will be discharged into the lake and sea along with the sewers, which will greatly threaten the biological environment. What's more, if they are eaten by animals, they will eventually harm human body through the biological chain.

塑料包装材料检出“致癌物质”PFAS！
8月10日，据每日经济新闻报道，麦当劳回应快餐包装中检出致癌物质：在中国使用的食品包装材料中没有添加PFAS（全氟和多氟化合物），完全符合国家相关标准。此前，国外一份报告称，在美国当地麦当劳、汉堡王等连锁餐饮店的食品包装中，检出致癌物质PFAS。
已有的毒理研究表明，PFAS会对实验动物造成肝脏毒性、发育与生殖毒性、遗传和免疫毒性以及致癌性，而一些流行病学调查也发现人体暴露于PFAS与部分疾病或癌症发生有着关联性。
Detection of "carcinogen" PFAS in plastic packaging materials!
On August 10, according to the Daily Economic News, McDonald responded to the detection of carcinogens in fast food packaging: PFAS (chemistry of the perfluoro and polyfluoro compounds) were not added to the food packaging materials used in China, which fully met the relevant national standards. Previously, a foreign report said that the carcinogen PFAS was detected in the food packaging of McDonald's and Burger King chain restaurants in the United States.
Previous toxicological studies have shown that PFAS can cause liver toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, genetic and immune toxicity, and carcinogenicity in experimental animals. Some epidemiological studies have also found that human exposure to PFAS is associated with some diseases or cancers.
