What? The headphones I use to listen to sissy hypno have feminizing chemicals in them?
Yeah the leaded solder
>plastic is pozzedimagine my shock
>>108179106solder isn't leaded
why would you eat headphones??????????//
>>108178652So at what concentration were these chemicals present? Was it significant enough to cause the negative effects? The website for this "ToxFREE project" says absolutely nothing, nor do they publish any data, or even how they performed those tests (https://www.toxfreeproductsnow.eu/en/)
>>108178652>feminization of malessign me up
>>108179230https://tudatosvasarlo.hu/toxfree-life-for-all-english/
>>108178652well, you're not supposed to eat them.
>>108179185>>108179296If you don't eat them, your children vill.
>>108179303ok, so?
>>108178652>feminisation of malesOh, so this is a bad thing now? I thought the libs loved this?
>>108179284The only study I can find on the page you linked is in https://tudatosvasarlo.hu/wp-content/uploads/D.5.1.-Ban_Bisphenols_in_All_Products_-_Policy_Briefing_Paper.pdf, but they don't test headphones in that one.
I don't care if you literally poison me into being bisexual, I will never become a commie. You lose.
>>108178652>feminisation of males/g/ thinks this is worse than cancer
>>108179359This seems to be it: https://konsument.at/test/schadstoffe-kopfhoererIt's paywalled though.
So which brands are safe? They only mention a few known brands in the article. Can't tell if the finding are decisiveBut in general wired headphones are probably much better than wireless regardless of brand?
>>108178652Oh, that explains the headphones.com reviewers
>>108179310>ok, so?
>>108178684The entire article is just quotes from a PETA tier campaigner with no meaningful percentages. It's like saying water consumption can be fatal. They raise 'the concern' that skin contact might transfer something, based on nothing. I really hope this thread was just made for fun, you retard.
You pee out BPA in a day. It's not dangerous to human health at all. You can eat receipt paper all day long and your estrogen levels won't go up. Retards on the Internet don't know what they're talking about.
>>108178652>>108178684>Researchers bought 81 pairs of in-ear and over-ear headphones, either on the market in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and Austria, or from the online marketplaces Shein and Temu, and took them for laboratory analysis, testing for a range of harmful chemicals.Wow good thing I don't buy products from shithole world.
>>108179171It is if they give two shits about quality, but probably not for consumer products.

>>108180611Yes. I am seething.Some spastic thought they could posit without proof.

>>108181096m8, it's right here: >>108179422you just have to pay—testing all these chink headphones isn't free, you know?

>>108179373it causes cancer so yeah
>>108181107>you just have to payYou picked that up from ... Where?Once logged in (which I assume costs) you can access a *table of results*. That's not science. That doesn't tell you anything about how they obtained those results. If I was to perform a real world experiment that conclusively proves that 2 + 2 = 5 you'd be pretty damn interested in the *how*? right? Even if I'm forwarding a claim you anticipate, 2 + 2 = 4, it's still a good idea to check *how* I've achieved this. There's quite a large number of wrong ways to arrive at the correct conclusion...>testing all these chink headphones isn't free, you know?Then it's a good thing they took the money beforehand, really, isn't it?
i skimmed the article.harmful substances are allowed in trace amounts and they decided to ignore that and act as if your headphones are toxic because they detected trace amounts, basically.also they talk about stuff like BPA. Yes, any flexible plastic will contain a plasticizer.we have regulations that limit amounts of harmful substances. that's what CE or RoHS is. Basically every country has these regulations to pass in order to be allowed to sell stuff there.

>>108180173What a retard. Everything is made in China or India. And your shithole don't even produce anything
>>108181432meh phtalates are a real concern
>>108178684>>108179230>>108179422While there's no mention of concentrations, there's no mention of regulatory violations either, and it's safe to assume that if there were any regulatory violations, they would have made that their headline. So the concentrations they found must have been within regulatory thresholds, whatever they are for headphones.>>108181462Yeah, but they're in a lot of plastic products, like fucking clothes, and present in a lot of other products due to contamination, like fucking food. The exposure through headphones alone is probably not significant compared to everything else. They say they didn't even investigate it, but it's not improbable that they did and the results didn't fit their narrative.
>>108181780>They say they didn't even investigate itwrong>Wonach haben wir gesucht?>Nach kurz- und mittelkettigen Chlorparaffinen, Phthalaten, halogenierten und phosphororganischen Flammschutzmitteln sowie Bisphenolen.
>>108181901>sowie
>>108181901They only investigated the presence of those substances in the headphones themselves, and not to what extent they are absorbed into the body, i.e. the actual exposure of a human wearing the headphones.
>>108182131ok, so?
>>108182142NTA but there's simply no reason to care about this problem because1. there are regulations in place to try and control these substances in consumer products and they seem to do quite well doing that2. there's a lot of stuff that is simply not regulated, probably because it'd be totally economically unfeasiblethere's nothing you can do, realistically. you don't even know if you're being "contaminated" or not at any given time. even if you RETVRNED to pre-industrial life and went to live in a hut in the woods, maybe it's in particulate matter or VOCs in the air from a warehouse nearby, or in the water from a factory 800 miles up stream. There's no escape, basically.also stuff like phthalates isn't some alien substance. plants make some. you're obsessing about something because you have some misconception.
>>108182309dumb retard
>>108182322come on anon :|
>>108182365try not being a dumb retard
>>108182142The presence of something in headphones only matters when you're grinding them into a fine powder and inhaling them. It matters less when you're eating your headphones and doesn't matter at all when you're wearing them. Like a normal person.
>>108182410see >>108181430

>>108180173Didn't expect to see a bigger retard than OP in the same very thread wow
>>108182451i'm explaining why. there's nothing you can do realistically to lower your exposure. you're not even responding, really. i'm trying to help you and you're acting like a faggot.

>>108178652I wonder when they're going to start testing smoke detectors for radiation...
>>108182424transdermal exposure depends on the part of the body the contact is. it's a very low rate of absorption. ingestion, and inhalation especially, are much worse.

>>108183558Name one like mentioned.One.
>>108183572It's usually better to look at a breadth of research all reproducing the same results. See: how we figured out smoking bad https://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/21/2/87Again, the public school system has failed you.
>>108183564where did anyone state it was bad?
>>108178652>consoomers get cancer and troon out thanks to a material that pretty much all consoomer products are made ofIt's extra funny because plastic is a byproduct of the oil industry, which is what helped the child-raping psychopaths that own you take over the world in the first place. The universe has a plot and a sense of irony.
>>108183585You stopped smoking exclusively because of the breadth of research that came to light against it?
>>108178652This is why I only use earbuds. Headphones are for uncs.
>>108183666Sort of. It's impossibly addictive so I also had to be well and sick of it too. It's sad to me that you are stuck on making this point even though it doesn't make any sense beyond getting you an Internet victory for a dopamine release. It's not a cogent position to hold.
>>108178652Damn I should stop chewing on my headphones.
>>108178652custom pads chads we eatin gud
>>108178652What are people doing with their headphones? Grinding them up and eating them? Burning them and huffing the smoke? Or is there something in the pads that can leech through your skin? Because that's the only part of it that's in contact with your skin for long at all.
>>108183696Earbuds contain toxic levels of iron, copper and microplastics if powdered and eaten.
