One that comes to mind is lead exposure, but heavy metals, petroleum products, or any products that have the warning “This chemical is known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm”. Is physical contact enough to cause these issues or must it be ingested/inhaled?
In: Biology
Practically everything in California causes cancer according to Proposition 65. But on the real side of things, there are chemicals that can do bad things to you simply through skin absorption. The prop65 stickers don’t differentiate between needing to inhale, ingest, or simply brush up against it. They also don’t really specify what could happen. They’re merely, “something bad might could possibly happen to you if you look at this substance in the wrong way” statements.
