The chemicals contained in plastics can be quite harmful.
Research suggests that all plastics may leach chemicals if they're scratched or heated. Research also strongly suggests that at certain exposure levels, some of the chemicals in these products, such asbisphenol A (BPA), may cause cancer in people.Hazards. Bisphenol A is found in the hard plastic bottles many people use every day.
