Certain smartwatch wristbands may expose users to high levels of persistent “forever chemicals” known as PFAS, according to recent research.
Fluorinated Rubber Bands: Premium smartwatch bands made from fluorinated synthetic rubber often contain high amounts of PFHxA, a type of PFAS.
Potential Health Concerns: These substances might lead to health risks, including skin irritation and other complications.
Safer Alternatives: Silicone bands are recommended as a safer option to avoid exposure to fluoroelastomers
