Agreed, food should not be stored, cooked or eaten out of a lot of plastics. Heating accelerates the leeching of the ones containing phenols but it still happens at room temp.
And yes, these compounds do break down in sunlight and even in water. Obviously they break down in the body too so not an accumulitive poison at least. Just constantly produced industrially and we are constantly exposed.
HDPE and LDPE contain no phenols when new but may contain them if made from recycling, especially LDPE.
Plastics like PP, TPU and PTFE contain no phenols at all.
PTFE is so inert that it wont even breakdown in sulight and reacts with practically nothing near room temperatures making it essentially a 'forever chemical'. I wonder if this is the plastic they find everywhere as small particles.
Edit: nope, lots of the bad ones are found as microparticles too
I don't know much about glyphosate so I will have to do some research.
