Hace 1 hora · 1:29. A new study has found that tampons contain several metals, including arsenic and lead. "Our findings point towards the need for regulations requiring the testing of metals in tampons by ...
Hace 11 horas · Polyamorphic transformations driven by high-energy mechanical ball milling (nanomilling) are recognized in a melt-quenched glassy alloy of tetra-arsenic triselenide (As4Se3). We employed XRPD analysis complemented by thermophysical heat-transfer and micro-Raman spectroscopy studies. A straightforward interpretation of the medium-range structural response to milling-driven reamorphization is ...
Hace 11 horas · Definition and applicable elements Unless otherwise noted, this article describes the stable form of an element at standard temperature and pressure (STP). [b] While arsenic (here sealed in a container to prevent tarnishing) has a shiny appearance and is a reasonable conductor of heat and electricity, it is soft and brittle and its chemistry is predominately nonmetallic. Nonmetallic chemical ...
Hace 11 horas · Toxic metals have been found in tampons, scientists say, which could put women at greater risk of potentially fatal health conditions. Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley examined 30 tampons from 14 different brands and found all 16 metals they were testing for in each type.. The metals found included arsenic, lead, mercury, nickel, copper, and iron, among others.
Hace 11 horas · The metals found included arsenic, lead, mercury, nickel, copper, and iron, among others. Findings of metal levels varied depending on whether the tampons were sold in the US, UK, or EU, whether they were organic or not, and whether they were branded or supermarket lines. According to the study, between 52% and 86% of women in the US use ...
Hace 11 horas · For example, arsenic contamination in soil and water has been linked to both natural and anthropogenic sources, including industrial effluents and pesticides. Furthermore, the transfer of arsenic through the soil-water-plant system is a well-documented pathway for human exposure, emphasizing the importance of understanding and mitigating these contamination routes [3] .
