Your hair care routine might carry health risks: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/12/03/hair-straightening-emissions-health/
(The Washington Post – Dec. 3, 2023)

The hair care products that produce shiny, frizz-free hair emit high levels of substances that could endanger human health, research published last month concludes — and heated styling tools may make the problem worse.
Published in Environmental Science & Technology, the analysis focused on compounds known as siloxanes. These substances smooth, straighten and add shine to hair and are "ubiquitous" in hair care products, the authors write.

Siloxane Emissions and Exposures during the Use of Hair Care Products in Buildings Cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes (cVMS) are ubiquitous in hair care products (HCPs). cVMS emissions from HCPs are of concern, given the potential adverse impact of siloxanes on the environment and human health. To characterize cVMS emissions and exposures during the use of HCPs, realistic hair care....

The European Chemicals Agency - ECHA has unveiled a proposal that would ban the production, use, and sale of about 10,000 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the European Union. The proposed ban, which includes time-limited exemptions for some PFAS uses, aims to keep the persistent chemicals out of the environment and reduce human health risks.

Finally, the European Commission has banned titanium dioxide E171 as a food additive. Next should come non-food products that we use every day such as toothpaste! Literally almost every toothpaste contains titanium dioxide....

SANTE - Item The European Commission has just banned titanium dioxide/Ti02 (also known as E171) as a food additive. This decision is the result of the robust system put in place to ensure the safety of the food we eat. Sabine Juelicher, Director of Food and feed safety, innovation talks about the ban and the wor...
