The study analyzed over 600 urine samples from children aged four to eight, indicating alarming levels of phthalates, known endocrine disruptors linked to various health issues.
Skincare products are significant sources of phthalate exposure; their frequent use raises long-term health concerns, particularly in developmental stages of children.
Limited research exists on children's exposure to phthalates in personal care items, highlighting the importance of addressing this issue due to their vulnerable metabolic systems.
