The wristbands, resembling souvenir shop items, are used by scientists to track exposure to toxic chemicals through their silicone structure that mimics human absorption.
By wearing these wristbands, scientists can analyze the absorption of harmful chemicals, providing crucial data on exposure levels from personal care products and environmental sources.
The United Nations officials' experiment with the wristbands highlighted the exposure of high-ranking diplomats to over 30 chemicals, emphasizing the need for stronger chemical regulations.
This initiative, led by IPEN, aimed to illustrate the potential health effects of unregulated chemicals present in plastics, influencing negotiations for a global treaty on plastic pollution.
