Toxins in Plastics Kit

Plastic itself is largely inert. The additives are the chemicals that migrate.

Coming soon
What it tests for
  • Bisphenols (BPA, BPS, BPF)
  • Phthalates (DEP, DBP, DEHP, DnOP)
  • Brominated flame retardants (PBDEs)
  • Residual VOCs / aldehydes
  • Heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Chromium, Mercury)
  • Plastic degradation byproducts
Why it matters

Bisphenols and phthalates are endocrine disruptors - they mimic or block hormones and are linked to reproductive, developmental, and metabolic effects, with particular concern for fetuses, infants, and children.

Brominated flame retardants persist and bioaccumulate, and heavy metals such as lead and cadmium add neurological and organ toxicity. The additives - not the polymer - are what leach into food, drinks, and dust.

How to collect your sample

Place a representative piece of the plastic item into the provided vial using the included gloves, seal, and return per the instructions.

How the lab analyzes it

The plastic is solvent-extracted to pull out additives, which are then run across three instruments: GC-MS for volatile/semi-volatile organics, LC-MS/MS for bisphenols and phthalates, and ICP-MS for heavy metals.

Did you know
  • 'BPA-free' often just means BPA was swapped for BPS or BPF, chemical cousins with similar hormone-disrupting activity.
  • Heat and acidity dramatically increase how fast plastic additives migrate - microwaving food in plastic is a worst case.
The Sacred Sampling standard

Laboratory data — not estimates.

Independently operated, with no ties to filter or remediation companies. Every sample is analyzed by an accredited partner laboratory under EPA-referenced methods, with a documented chain of custody — and your data is yours.
