Study Reveals Toxic Metals in Popular Tampon Brands

New research finds lead, arsenic, and other harmful metals in tampons, raising health concerns.

Researchers tested 30 tampons from 14 brands, finding 16 metals, including toxic ones like lead and arsenic.
All tested tampons contained detectable levels of various metals, with some organic tampons showing higher arsenic levels.
Health experts emphasize the need for further studies to determine the potential risks of metal absorption through tampon use.
The study highlights the lack of regulatory testing for chemical contaminants in menstrual products.
Consumers are advised to stay informed and consider alternative menstrual products if concerned about metal exposure.
