92: PFAS in Period Undies & Pesticides in Tampons

July 12, 2022 • Emma Rohmann • Episode 92

It always sucks when something you think is THE solution turns out to be not what you thought. But I think it's important to learn from it, and move on. This week’s episode began when a Green Product Forum member - Dana wanted to know about studies that have found PFAS in period underwear.

I chat about period undies, pads and tampons and cover the following:

Regulations
Toxic shock syndrome
Dioxins, fragrance, glyphosate & other pesticides
Safer alternatives

Green at Home is no longer an operating business, as its founder, Emma Rohmann, has gone back to her engineering roots in large-scale green building consulting. She is keeping her free resources, including the podcast and blog, live but you will find other links to resources are likely broken in these show notes.
