Wristband monitor for endocrine disruptors

The Detox Project, working alongside Kudzu Science, is enabling the public to find out their exposure at home, work or play to a range of endocrine disrupting (hormone hacking) chemicals, including Bisphenols, Phthalates and Pesticides.

You will receive your kit and a prepaid envelope for sending your wristband to Kudzu Science within 10-20 days of ordering your kit. You will also receive online results within 15-20 days of your Wristband being received by the Kudzu Science laboratory – Find the Testing Guide Here.

Please make sure you keep your ID number safe when you receive your kit, as this is the only way you will be able to find out your results.

 

Why have silicone wristbands not been used widely for toxic chemical exposure measurement before?

Silicone is able to absorb a wide range of chemicals and it has long been possible to test silicone for many organic compounds. However, it is only in the last four years that scientists have started to concentrate on using silicone wristbands to measure exposure and developing the laboratory methods that are needed to do so.

The Detox Project, alongside Kudzu Science, is one of the first organizations to now make this available to the global public.

This new testing method is one of the only fully non-invasive methods to measure toxic chemical exposure, and silicone wristbands are perfect for this job, as they can be washed during normal activities without the levels of the chemicals they absorb being affected.

Why are there endocrine disruptors in your environment?

The presence of endocrine disruptors in silicone wristbands may result from exposure to low and regular doses from water, household items (e.g. plastic instruments or toys) or the environment (known as chronic exposure), or a combination of some or all of these.

What method is being used for this testing?

Kudzu Science uses validated gold standard mass spectrometry methods to test silicone wristbands for toxic chemicals.

What are the Limits of Detection (LODs) for this testing?

Please find the list of LODs (Limit of Detection) and LOQs (Limit of Quantification) for the pesticides & plasticizers Kudzu Science are currently testing for in wristbands here.

Which peer-reviewed studies show that wristband testing is reliable?

Why is The Detox Project promoting this testing?

The Detox Project aims to use this extraordinary new tool to change how the general public views endocrine disruptors – we can only do this by showing people how often and where they are exposed to these chemicals.

We also aim to introduce wristband testing for endocrine disruptors to governments and NGOs globally in an attempt to include them in their current bio-monitoring techniques.
