SIMON BAARBE:If you're interested to know more, you can read this extensive review from the Australian TGA on the toxicity of phthalates in IV bags, IV tubes, and other medical plastics: https://www.tga.gov.au/sites/default/files/foi-216-1112-1Or this more recent news article that sums up the issues concisely: https://www.politico.eu/article/plastics-blood-bags-dehp-may-damage-humans/"... [Phthlates] make up as much as 40 percent of the weight of blood bags and 80 percent of IV tubes. DEHP (phthalate) doesn't stay put in the plastic. It leaches from the blood bags and tubes into the blood (or any other IV fluid) they hold. One study found that DEHP tubing loses 6 to 12 percent of its weight during its use.""That’s worrying because DEHP is an endocrine disruptor, ... which means it can interfere with normal hormone functioning. Researchers have linked DEHP to asthma, breast cancer, obesity and type 2 diabetes, low IQ scores, brain development issues, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorders, and lowered male fertility...""When alternatives such as tablets, oral liquids, and intramuscular injections exist, IVs can't ethically be recommended to anyone except in the rare circumstances where benefits of an IV infusion outweigh the harms (Such as preventing arrhythmia or kidney injury while in hospital)"
