Journalists are sent to cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and to investigate political finances and documentaries about social issues. Some news outlets choose not to use paywalls and rely on donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and investigations. A study found that heat-based hair styling methods—straightening, curling and blow drying—used with creams, lotions and serums emit chemicals and large numbers of nanoparticles. A 10- to 20-minute routine can release upward of 10 billion nanoparticles that deposit in the lungs, producing pollution equivalent to motorway traffic and raising risks of respiratory stress, lung inflammation and cognitive decline.
Your morning hair routine might be exposing you to as much pollution as standing in dense traffic, research has suggested. A study found heat-based hair styling, such as straightening, curling or blow drying, emits chemicals when used with hair creams, lotions and serums. Researchers found that a 10- to 20-minute heat-based hair care routine exposes a person to upward of 10 billion nanoparticles that are directly deposited into the lungs - that's the equivalent pollution of standing in motorway traffic.
Researchers found that a 10- to 20-minute heat-based hair care routine exposes a person to upward of 10 billion nanoparticles that are directly deposited into the lungs - that's the equivalent pollution of standing in motorway traffic. These particles can lead to serious health risks such as respiratory stress, lung inflammation and cognitive decline. This is really quite concerning, Nusrat Jung, an assistant professor in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering, said.
