Smartwatches and fitness trackers have become ubiquitous forms of wearable tech, accompanying many people throughout their days (and nights). But they may expose the skin to so-called forever chemicals in the process.
The article from MSN discusses a study revealing that several smartwatch wristbands contain elevated levels of "forever chemicals," known scientifically as PFAS (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances). These chemicals are notorious for their persistence in the environment and the human body, potentially leading to health issues like cancer, liver damage, and immune system effects. The study, conducted by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, tested various wristbands made from different materials like rubber, plastic, and leather, finding that especially those made from synthetic materials had higher PFAS concentrations. This has raised concerns about the safety of wearing these devices close to the skin for extended periods, prompting calls for further investigation into the health implications and for manufacturers to consider safer material alternatives.
