37、r the environment?“Straws made from plant-based materials,such as paper and bamboo,are often advertised as being more sustainable and eco-friendly than those made from plastic,”says researcher Dr.Thimo Groffen,an environmental scientist at the University of Antwerp.“However,the presence of PFASin th

38、ese straws means that could be discredited.”PFAS chemicals,infamous for their longevity and potential harm,can adversely affect humans,wildlife and the environment.They biodegrade(生物降解)very slowly over time and can persist over thousands of years in the environment,a property that has led to them be

39、ing known as“forever chemicals”.They are linked to various health issues,including thyroid disease,liver damage,kidney cancer and so on.Furthermore,these chemicals are used in everyday items,such as outdoor clothing and non-stick pans,to make them water and heat-resistant.For a more in-depth analysi

41、was detected in 90%of the brands tested.PFAS was also detected in 80%of brands of bamboo straws,75%of plastic straw brands and 40%of glass straw brands.They were not detected in any of the five types of steel straws tested.“The presence of PFAS in paper and bamboo straws shows they are not necessari

42、ly biodegradable,”says Dr.Groffen.“We did not detect any PFAS in stainless steel straws,so I would advise consumers to use this type of straw or just avoid using straws.”The PFAS concentrations(浓度)were low and,considering that most people only use straws occasionally,pose a limited risk to human hea

43、lth.However,PFAS can remain in the body for many years and concentrations can build up over time.“Small amounts of PFAS,while not harmful in themselves,can add to the chemical load already present in the body,”Dr.Groffen concludes.32.What does the underlined word“discredited”in paragraph 1 probably
