Toxicity of thermal paperUpdate: 2023-03-10

Most of the materials made of thermal paper are healthy and non-toxic, but because of the particularity of the way in which they record words, bisphenol A will be added to the materials, which is harmful to human body.

Bisphenol A, commonly known as polycarbonate in industry, is sold at a very low price. Many chemical products will use this material, especially plastic products and paper products, because the function of this material is waterproof and moisture-proof, and it can also make the handwriting more visible. Although it is easy to use, according to relevant research reports, long-term exposure to this substance may cause infertility in men. It mainly affects the possibility of human infertility by stimulating abnormal hormone secretion. Researchers conducted a five-year experiment to extract the blood of people who often contact hot print paper, and also found some substances that affect male fertility. However, relevant studies have shown that bisphenol A cannot be transmitted through skin, so the harm to human body is accumulated for a long time, and it cannot cause harm to human body at once.

In fact, the place where we often come into contact with thermal paper in our life is the ATM printing slip. According to research, the content of bisphenol A in this paper is 0.9%. Secondly, we also come into contact with fax paper in our life, which contains 1.3% bisphenol A.
