Question

I NEED THIS ANSWERED ASAP!!! PLEASE HELP Several studies suggest that a synthetic material commonly used to make baby bottles contains a toxin that may be absorbed by baby formula as it sits in the bottle. Explain how this possibility, if real, poses a health risk to babies feeding from these bottles. Describe two ways that lawmakers can address this possibility, and explain whether each solution involves a strict or weak interpretation of the precautionary principle. 

Answer 1

The most likely toxic chemicals that is found in baby bottles is called BPA. If high doses of this chemical is consumed, it might shut down the response system of estrogen in the babies. It could also possibly change the babies ability of producing ordinary thyroid hormones.

Law makers can address this possibility by making a law that bans the creation of a baby bottles plastic that contains these toxic chemicals. This provides with a strict interpretation of the precautionary principle because it is ‘banning’ all the bottles plastic that contains toxic chemicals. Banning is a strict interpretation.

Law makers can also make a law that limits the doses of this toxic chemical that can be found in the bottles plastic. This is a strict interpretation because there is a limit, and if the producers go above the limit, there is consequences to face.
