一项研究发现,长发中存在危险化学品,由于管制和标签不完善,黑人妇女受到的影响格外严重。 A study found dangerous chemicals in hair extensions, affecting Black women disproportionately due to poor regulation and labeling.

一项新的研究发现,有数十种危险化学品,包括癌症相关物质和荷尔蒙干扰物质,都存在发型延伸,几乎所有含有阻燃剂、硫酸盐和有毒有机锡等有害成分的经测试的产品。 A new study has found dozens of hazardous chemicals, including cancer-linked and hormone-disrupting substances, in hair extensions, with nearly all tested products containing harmful ingredients like flame retardants, phthalates, and toxic organotins. 研究人员在43个合成和人头发延伸体中检测到169种不同的化学品,其中包括17种与乳腺癌有关的化学品和一些超过欧盟安全限度的有机锡。 Researchers detected 169 distinct chemicals across 43 synthetic and human-hair extensions, including 17 linked to breast cancer and some organotins exceeding EU safety limits. 黑人妇女由于文化原因广泛使用延伸技术,由于缺乏成分透明度以及行业监管薄弱,她们受到的影响格外严重。 Black women, who use extensions widely for cultural reasons, are disproportionately affected due to lack of ingredient transparency and weak industry regulation. 在美国化学学会的《环境与健康》杂志上公布的调查结果促使人们呼吁在纽约和新泽西加强安全标准、强制性标签制度和新立法,以禁止有毒化学品并要求披露。 The findings, published in the American Chemical Society’s Environment & Health journal, have prompted calls for stronger safety standards, mandatory labeling, and new legislation in New York and New Jersey to ban toxic chemicals and require disclosure.
