The hidden chemical hazard lurking in your smartwatch band

Your fitness tracker might be helping you count steps and monitor your heart rate, but it could also be exposing you to potentially harmful chemicals, according to new research. Scientists have discovered that many popular smartwatch bands contain surprisingly high levels of a concerning chemical called PFHxA (perfluorohexanoic acid),
The article from MSN discusses a study revealing that smartwatch bands, particularly those made from rubber or plastic, can harbor high levels of chemical contaminants. Researchers from the University of California, Irvine, found that these bands can accumulate substances like BPA, phthalates, and other potentially harmful chemicals over time. These chemicals, which can leach from the materials used in the bands, pose health risks such as hormonal disruptions, reproductive issues, and increased cancer risk. The study suggests that while the levels might not be immediately dangerous, long-term exposure could be concerning. It recommends choosing bands made from materials like metal or leather, which showed lower contamination levels, and regularly cleaning or replacing bands to minimize exposure to these chemicals.
