Do Biodegradable Polymers Pose Any Toxicological Risks?
While biodegradable polymers are generally considered safer than traditional plastics, they are not without potential risks. The degradation products of some biodegradable polymers can still be harmful. It's essential to evaluate the toxicity of these degradation products in various environmental contexts. Moreover, additives used in the production of biodegradable polymers may also pose health risks if they leach out during degradation.
