Reusable period products might produce less trash, but according to a new study in ACS’ Environmental Science & Technology Letters, they contain “forever chemicals,” too. However, most tested products contained low levels of PFAS, which suggests they weren’t added intentionally.
Research Update: PFAS found in several reusable period products - American Chemical Society
Building on previously presented research, a team found that period underwear and reusable pads contained PFAS, which might be absorbed into the body through skin contact.

Thousands of microplastics so small they can penetrate deep into the lungs are in the air you breathe in your home and car, a new study has found.
The particles are likely the result of degradation of plastic-filled objects such as carpet, textiles and the plastic parts of car interiors.
