Abstract in brief

  • A study found that tampons, used by a significant portion of menstruators in the U.S., may contain up to 16 different metals, some of which are toxic.
  • Researchers analyzed a total of 60 samples from 30 tampons across 14 brands, discovering harmful metals like lead, cadmium, and arsenic with varying concentrations based on tampon characteristics like brand and materials.
  • The findings suggest that tampon use could be a source of metal exposure, raising concerns about safety, particularly since no type of tampon consistently had lower levels of these metals.

Heavy metals like lead have no safe level of consumption. For things like arsenic, which is also most notably found in apple seeds, we encounter small amounts of it every day. Yet they’re both present in various tampon bands. https://t.co/k4tYyNK3YH https://t.co/A2ZbHFu8kr
