The Daily Mail informs readers that bisphenol A was found in a number of official Apple accessories.
What else is known
Owners of Apple products express concern in connection with the emergence of information about the presence of hazardous substances in the devices.
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro charger with magnetic charging, which contains bisphenol A (BPA), attracted particular attention. This compound is used to make plastics hard. However, it is known for its negative effects on human health.
The substance can disrupt hormone levels and cause reproductive problems. Studies conducted 6 years ago found that 16% to 20% of the BPA contained in products can penetrate the skin and have a biological effect.
The situation is made worse by the fact that commercial analogues of BPA, such as bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF), have also been shown to be toxic. Experts are calling for a ban on all forms of bisphenols due to their potential harm to human and animal health.
Apple users are expressing dissatisfaction with the fact that in the United States, consumer protection measures against BPA are limited solely to labels. In other countries, products with this composition could be banned. In the meantime, users must be careful and aware of the potential risks associated with using devices containing bisphenol.
