🤦‍♀️ Study finds heavy metals in tampons:

Tests on 30 products purchased in #NewYork, #Athens, and #London have found some contained dangerous levels of arsenic, chromium, and even lead. ☣️

16 metals were tested and all were detected in at least one #tampon.

Several metals were detected in all samples, including #arsenic, #cadmium, #chromium, #lead, and #vanadium.

#Organic #tampons had higher levels of arsenic, but non-organic tampons had higher levels of lead.

Writing in the journal, Environment International, researchers said: 'There is no safe exposure level to lead. “Any proportion of lead that may leach out of a tampon and reach systemic circulation might contribute to negative health outcomes.”
