[QUOTE="Yale, post: 8127302, member: 19"] Question is if bugs break down plastic what chemicals are released in the process? Can these be concentrated by plants then harvested for food. We are told not to put food stuffs in certain plastics as there are nasty chemicals which leach out. These plastics don’t suddenly become inert. Lets compare plastics to ag lime.The more finely ground the lime the faster it leaches and works on the soil,the finer the plastic the more available leaching of chemicals will be. [/QUOTE]
