High levels of microplastics in infant-feeding bottles released during formula preparation

High levels of microplastics are released from infant-feeding bottles during formula preparation and when they are being sterilised, researchers atThe higher the temperature of liquid inside the bottle, the more microplastics are released, they conclude in a study published on Monday. The findings, they suggest, indicate a need for new guidelines to minimise exposure risk for infants.

The team analysed the potential for their release of from polypropylene infant-feeding bottles – the most commonly used bottle – during formula preparation by following international guidelines, and found warmer liquids result in far greater release of microplastics. Given widespread use of polypropylene bottles and quantities of microplastics released through normal daily use, the team realised the potential exposure of infants to microplastics “is a worldwide issue”. It factored in market share of the feed bottle; infant daily milk-intake volume, and breastfeeding rates.

It would be safer to use glass if bottle feeding!
