Question 24106 — dangerous products

Summary

Ms. Marie-Pierre Rixain draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to endocrine disruptors, and particularly to bisphenol A and S. In an unpublished report published on September 3, 2019, Santé Publique France measured the presence of these polluting substances in the body of a large representative sample of the French population (2,503 adults and 1,104 children). The results of this study provide a alarming state of affairs since 100% of French people are affected by the presence of these substances in their body. Higher levels of impregnation are even found in children. According to the WHO, endocrine disruptors are chemical substances foreign to the human body, which can interfere with the hormonal system, by decreasing or increasing the action of hormones, responsible for the proper functioning of the body. human. They act at several levels of the human body: on fetal development, growth, reproduction but also metabolism or the nervous system. By interfering with the body, they can corrupt communication between the body's cells and thus disrupt the entire endocrine system. It is worrying to see that studies to measure the dangerousness of endocrine disruptors are insufficient, especially in with regard to the concentrations found in the country, which exceed the health threshold values ​​established abroad. Not only would these studies make it possible to identify substances at risk, but they would also establish the dangerousness of the substitutes introduced, as is the case with bisphenol S. A synthetic substance used in certain plastics, Bisphenol A has been classified in the list of substances of extreme concern by The European Chemicals Agency and restrictive measures have limited its use in a large number of European countries, including France. However, manufacturers have gradually replaced it with so-called Bisphenol S, which is much more harmful, reaching the bloodstream 100 times more than Bisphenol A. For equivalent exposure to these two types of Bisphenol, the concentration rate of Bisphenol S in the blood is approximately 250 times higher than that of Bisphenol A. This is why it wishes to know the solutions envisaged to identify and eradicate endocrine disruptors from the daily lives of the French while ensuring that integrated substitutes do not represent an equivalent, or even greater, danger.
