The US would really benefit from having some sort of federal agency tasked with protecting the environment, ensuring clean air and water for taxpayers. I would love to see my tax dollars go towards that.

This is the actual data. It's a hell of a story don't you think? High end watch bands on many of our wrists containing high levels of toxic chemicals that our bodies have great difficulty eliminating.


I can't view the article but, the abstract does not use the term "high end". From personal experience, I had a reaction to cheap "silicone" watch bands sold on Amazon.


It includes high end (Apple, Google, Samsung). In fact the inexpensive brands were the only ones found without PFAS
