Please join me in signing a petition for medical device companies to stop using BPA / BPS in their devices

Please help spread the word about this Change.org petition; BPA and BPS are dangerous for human long-term health, and we have no choice but to breathe in to our lungs the air and water that is heated in these devices every night. There are currently no companies manufacturing CPAP equipment without BPA / BPS.

"But the FDA says BPA is safe":
https://scitechdaily.com/biologists-rai ... sticizers/
"The Bayreuth research team led by Dr. Peter Machnik at the Animal Physiology research group (led by Prof. Dr. Stefan Schuster) has now for the first time investigated the effects of plasticizers on signal transmission between nerve cells in the adult brain. The study covers not only BPA, but also bisphenol S (BPS), which is often considered less harmful to health. Their findings: Both plasticizers impair communication between the nerve cells of the brain."

"It turns out that the plasticizers influence the action potential of brain cells. They alter the chemical and electrical transmission of signals through the synapses. In addition, they disrupt the circuits that are important for the perception and processing of acoustic and visual stimuli."

"They test these things, they don't make mistakes"
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/17/heal ... ecall.html
"The agency said the possible risks of particulate and chemical exposure from the recalled devices included asthma, skin and respiratory-tract irritation and “toxic and carcinogenic effects” to organs including the kidneys and liver."

Stupid activists. They should get new hobbies. None of them have any training in science.

Junk science.
BPA has long ago been omitted from all uses that pose any significant hazard.
Life will always have some risk.
It is unreasonable to expect to live perfectly safe,
and even more unreasonable to expect others to pay the considerable costs required.
If fear prevents you from using your cpap, stop using it, and give it to someone who will.

Such is the world of research scientists. I have 4 degrees, 58 patents, 40+ years of experience in my field. Yet someone who was an expert on vaccines a month ago, foreign policy last week, and googled something yesterday is now an expert in my field. I have no time nor patience for walking, talking, breathing Dunning-Kruger graphs.

" . . . Dunning-Kruger"
Damn! You made me laugh!
You do realize that crap comes out of insecurity and extreme feelings of inadequacy.
(Totally justified, IMO.)
It calms me a little when I realize those creeps are living in a self-generated hell
far exceeding anything we can imagine, much less wish on them.

The effect:

We propose that those with limited knowledge in a domain suffer a dual burden: Not only do they reach mistaken conclusions and make regrettable errors, but their incompetence robs them of the ability to realize it.

I have seen this all my life.
Now I have a name for it.

Synonym: Politicians
