Cancer risk from plastic

Posted by Jeff on July 21, 2008

I was talking to a friend yesterday and he asked what I was doing to mitigate the risk of plastics breaking down and affecting the fish.

I said I hadn’t even thought about it. I guess I am so confused about the plastics and the dangers to humans I did not even think about it for the fish.

I make my own R/O water and keep it overnight in a plastic trash can not even thinking about the dangers.

The water does not stay in the python long enough to cause any danger from what I understand, plus the python is made of food grade plastics.

However some plastics that have been marketed as food grade in the past are now on the danger list.

So I thought I would ask what everyone else is doing, if anything to stop or lessen the risk?
