Which Apple Watch bands contain PFAS?

I know a lot of older organic chemists for whom benzene was the standard cleaner for lab benches.

I shouldn't think the approx 30,000 cigarettes I smoked at university did me much good. You'd think "academics" at England's most prodigious scientific centre of learning would have more bloody sense.

Yes a shame they didn't publish full results naming which brands had which results. I wonder why that was. My Apple Watch Sport Band is Fluoroelastomer so I assume it was one that was affected.

Academics sometimes freak out having to work with real people.

No problem 😎

@LD150 Most watch people wear watches constantly for decades. 24 hours??? They are called "forever chemicals" for a reason.

There is a maxim in toxicology: "The dose makes the poison." I don't think that one study adequately addressed what the dose is.

I haven't heard that expression in ages! It's one my father (b. 1918) used to use.

Loved that show as a kid (yes, my parents let me watch it) but it's a little bit painful to watch now.

Oh, goodness!!!! Fortunately, a habit I never acquired.
