This study determined levels of student KAP regarding the use of Plastic-Type Food Contact Materials (PTFCMs) with regard to their exposure to Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) and EDC type, as well as modulating factors affecting both exposure and use. A cross-sectional study that involved 150 university students in Kuala Terengganu was carried out between July and September 2015. Results showed that 84.0% of students had low knowledge levels while 90.0% had a ‘fair’ attitude classification. Most respondents commonly used polypropylene (PP) as either liquid or food containers. The greatest modulator was less cost. Conclusion: Student knowledge, attitude and practice with respect to EDCs and PTFCMs require improvement to minimize adverse health effects. Hence, government agencies should address the need for public education programs regarding EDCs contained in PTFMCs to advance knowledge, attitude and practice, and thereby help prevent adverse developmental outcomes.
