00:00It's a big help to the environment, but it's dangerous to the health.

00:06That's what a group of people are saying

00:08against the use of reusable tumblers and bottles with toxic chemicals.

00:15Raffi Chima is on the scene.

00:20The Eco-Waste Coalition has been campaigning for a long time

00:23to use reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastic bottles that are scattered around the market.

00:28But a group of people noticed, along with this campaign,

00:31the abundance of cheap and important reusable bottles.

00:34That's why they should test the quality of these and if it's safe to use.

00:39One of our observations is that if it's painted,

00:44or if it's painted, it usually has a lead.

00:48The lead or what we call tinga in Tagalog.

00:51In 2017, household paints were prohibited from using lead in the Philippines

00:55because it's dangerous to health.

00:57But out of 30 important tumblers and other reusable bottles tested by the Eco-Waste Coalition,

01:02half of them fell.

01:04This colorful tumbler has 100,000 parts per million of lead content.

01:08That's our highest.

01:11The limit is 90 parts per million.

01:16Most of the people who use it are young people.

01:19They say that the color and design of these are very appealing.

01:22If you touch it and it has chips of paint,

01:25if you touch it with rice or bread,

01:28it can be ingested because it goes back and forth over time.

01:33It looks good.

01:34According to the DOH Disease Prevention and Control Bureau,

01:37because of the neurotoxin of lead,

01:38it has a big effect on the brain if the exposure is continuous,

01:42especially for young people.

01:44It can damage the brain of a child.

01:46Normally, it will affect his mental development.

01:51It will lower his IQ.

01:54It's also possible for him to have speech and hearing loss.

01:58That's why Chinky is a mother to her child

02:01who doesn't want to be affected by colorful water bottles.

02:04That's what mothers and people should think.

02:07It's expensive, but it's of better quality.

02:10You can use it for a longer time and you're safer.

02:13Your health is safer.

02:15For GMI Integrated News,

02:17Rafi Timan, for Tutok, 24 hours.
