In Conversation: Toxic metals in tampons: Should you be worried?
In this podcast episode, editors and co-hosts Maria Cohut and Yasemin Nicola Sakay discuss whether tampons, pads, and other menstrual products pose a threat to health, as a recent study found traces of 16 heavy metals, including lead and cadmium, in several tampon brands. Anna Pollack, PhD, MPH, professor of global and community health at George Mason University College of Public Health, joins the podcast as a special guest to discuss what these findings mean and whether people should be concerned.
