2018年9月 无毒先锋通过抽样检测海产品——梭子蟹,发现无论在市场上卖的,还是在多家电商平台上卖的,都存在蟹黄重金属镉超标问题。针对此问题,深圳零废弃紧急致函电商平台,要求电商平台下架相关的产品以及希望电商平台能建立自查制度。目前电商平台已经把有问题的产品做下架处理。
Sampling and Testing Swimming Crabs, None of Them are Qualified
September, 2018. Toxics-Free China (TFC) found that all samples of swimming crab that they collected from several E-Commerce platforms and a local seafood market contained high levels of cadmium, which also exceeded the limit set by national standard. To tackle with it, TFC wrote letters to E-Commerce platforms in emergency, asking them to off-shelve the relevant products, as well as suggesting the platforms build up the self-inspection system. At present, the E-Commerce platforms have all off-shelve the identified problematic products.

Halloween Warning: Deadly Toxics in Deadly Vampire Teeth
October, 2018. Toxics-Free China found that, in a supermarket chain store of Beijing, which aims to sell imported products, the Halloween promotional toys, i.e. plastic ‘zombie artificial teeth’, have the problems of exceeding the PAEs (Phthalates) and SCCP (Short Chain Chlorinated Paraffins) standards. Among them, the PAEs contents have exceeded the national provided standard for 98.18 times, while the SCCP contents have exceeded the European Union REACH standard (since China hasn’t set the national standard yet) for 27.91 times.
2018年8月,《食品安全质量检测学报》刊载了一篇名为《我国大闸蟹中二噁英类持久性有机污染物的暴露水平研究》的文章,研究人员发现:
• 蟹肉中二噁英类 POPs 的总毒性当量(TEQ)为 0.0092-1.65 pg TEQ/g,平均浓度为 0.27 pg TEQ/g。黄(蟹膏)中二噁英类 POPs 的 TEQ 浓度水平为 1.3-15 pg TEQ/g,平均浓度是蟹肉中平均TEQ值的21倍。蟹肉中的二噁英和二噁英类 POPs 浓度均未超出欧盟标准,而部分蟹黄中的二噁英超出了欧盟 3.5pg TEQ/g 的标准,二噁英类 POPs 超出了欧盟 6.5 pg TEQ/g 的标准。
• 饲料中二噁英类 POPs 的 TEQ 值是大闸蟹的 0.85 倍,玉米、水草和水仅贡献蟹塘中 TEQ 输人的4.7%,不考虑生物过程,沉积物中 TEQ 输入是饲料输入的 77 倍。结论蟹塘中二噁英类POPs 的 TEQ 输人量高于其输出量,其中沉积物是大闸蟹中二噁英类 POPs 的主要贡献者。
We Want to Eat Hairy Crabs that Do Not exceed the Dioxin Standard!
August, 2018. Journal of Food Safety and Quality has published an article named ‘Study on Exposure Levels of Dioxin-like Persistent Organic Pollutants in Chinese Hairy Crabs’, in which the researchers found that, the total TEQ (toxicity equivalents) of Dioxin-type POPs among hairy crabs meat is 0.0092-1.65 pg TEQ/g, and the average density is 0.27 pg TEQ/g. The dioxin-type POPs among cream (crab sperms) has a TEQ density level of 1.3-15 pg TEQ/g, and the average density is 21 times higher than the average TEQ among crab meats. The dioxin and dioxin-type POPs’ density among crab meats haven’t exceeded the European Union standard, while the dioxin among some part of crab creams have exceeded the EU standard of 3.5pg TEQ/g, and the dioxin-type POPS have exceeded the EU standard of 6.5 pg TEQ/g. The TEQ of dioxin-type POPs in crab feeds is 0.85 times higher than that of the hairy crabs, while corns, sea weeds, and water only contribute to 4.7% of the TEQ input in crab ponds. Excluding the biological process, the TEQ input of the sediments is 77 times higher than the input of the feeds. In conclusion, the TEQ output of dioxin-type POPs in crab ponds is higher than its input, among which, the sediments are the major contributors of dioxin-type POPs in hairy crabs.

最新研究发现,我国平均非致癌风险水平为 1.88×10-2, 远远低于最大可接受水平(非致癌风险水平≤1)。全国平均致癌风险水平为 5.71×10-6,比美国环保署定义的可接受水平高约5倍(致癌风险水平≤1×10-6)。该研究由南京大学和美国埃默里大学联合开展,研究结果发表在著名期刊《环境科学与技术》(Environmental Science and Technology)上。
According to the new research finding, the average non-carcinogenic risks level in China is 1.88×10-2, much lower than the largest acceptable level (non-carcinogenic risk level ≤1). The average carcinogenic risk level is 5.71×10-6, 5 times higher than the acceptable level defined by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (carcinogenic risk level ≤1×10-6). The research is co-launched by Nanjing University and Emory University of America, and the results are published on the famous journal Environmental Science and Technology.

每年全球共生产56万亿支香烟。这些香烟中的滤嘴——香烟蒂,绝大多数都是用醋酸纤维素制成的。这种塑料形式可能需要10年或更长的时间才能分解。根据创立了“烟蒂污染项目”(tobacco Butt Pollution Project)的诺佛特尼(Novotny)的说法,每年有多达三分之二的滤嘴被不负责任地扔掉。在连续32年的海滩清理活动中,烟蒂一直是世界上被收集最多的物质,在此期间,总共收集了6000多万件。
