From Apple to Nike, 15 smart watches found containing high levels of cancer causing 'forever chemicals'

The article from MSN discusses a study by the University of California, San Francisco, which revealed that 15 popular smartwatches, including brands like Apple, Samsung, and Nike, contain high levels of bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical linked to cancer and other health issues. BPA, known as a "forever chemical" due to its persistence in the environment, was found in the wristbands of these devices. The study tested 30 smartwatches and found that 15 had BPA levels above 40 parts per million, with some exceeding 1,000 ppm. This exposure could potentially lead to health risks like cancer, diabetes, and reproductive issues. The article also mentions that while the watches themselves are not the primary source of BPA exposure, the cumulative effect from various sources could be concerning. The study's findings have prompted calls for manufacturers to explore safer materials for their products.
