Read my posts - I suggested Carbon.
Read my posts - I said more tests are needed.

It appears that multiple posts were homogenized.

Hydrocarbons produce cancer in humans. Benzene, a highly cancerous agent, is present during the creation of plastic.

Chemists do use odor as an indicator. Smell alone is not the end all but an indicator.

Please keep the tone civil Stus. You border on insulting and I'm sure you did not intend to do so. I am very familiar (read educated) when it comes to organic chemstry.

Rather than take a chance on plastic extruding stored molecules it would be better to use plastic that is inert when possible. The chances are low for leached carcinogenic material (at least to humans) to be a problem but some people will not take even a small chance.
