from SBS Arabic - أس بي أس عربي
Environmental researchers are calling for greater attention and potential regulation of artificial sweeteners, as they are building up in the environment and waterways around the world. A new study out of the University of Technology, Sydney [[UTS]] has found widely-used sugar substitutes are not decomposing and are turning into 'forever chemicals' that are comparable to P-FAS in the potential harm to animals and the ecosystem. P-FAS is a commonly used acronym for poly fluoro-alkyl substances - a group of man-made chemicals commonly used in water-resistant and non-stick items. P-FAS has been identified in a growing body of research as a toxin and carcinogen with proven negative impacts on the environment and human health. - يدعو الباحثون البيئيون إلى مزيد من الاهتمام بالمحليات الصناعية، ووضع ضوابط تنظيمية لها، نظرًا لتراكمها في البيئة والمجاري المائية حول العالم.
