@LucH - Yes, I agree more research is needed.

For me, this suggests that a sauna deserves some consideration. It boils down to a benefit-versus-burden analysis. I do not think that sitting in a sauna is very burdensome. As to the benefit of using a sauna,

"BPA has a short half-life of around 6 hours"

I worry more about the dioxins and pcb type chemicals. They have a half life of years and their harder to avoid them everything else.

The constant exposure every day(?) and multiple times each day (?) make its short half-life less relevant.

I agree nobody should intentionally eat endocrine disruptors. I feel it's more avoidable than some of the other industrial chemicals. The short half life is better than a long one.

Emotionally the idea of forever chemicals or dioxin type chemicals bother me the most because they're practically permanent. I don't know which are more toxic on a one to one basis.

I recall some research that those chemicals and heavy metals can also leave through sweat. Sauna is a good idea. I hate sweating but maybe one day I'll get myself to do it.

Taurine, EGCG and/or curcumin have been found to be useful in rodents.

It's really endless.

@Insomniac - Your right. But do not lose any more sleep over it.

I like this bar graph. USA is not number 1.

Among the Scandinavian countries, Finland is lowest. Don't they use the sauna a lot?

@Insomniac “forever” chemicals is probably a fear based trauma mind control psyop by freemasons

Yes they do. In a different thread I noted that despite of their saunas, they do not live any longer than their neighbors. see
After diet, exercise and sleep, using a sauna may be of the best things for health

The bar graph is from an observational study. So the data is inherently unreliable. My eye noticed that Norway has bisphenol A more than 2X of every other country. Why? Bettter data collecting?

@LucH - France appears to have relatively low levels of exposure.

Thanks.
I speak French but from Belgium (Liège). No matter, except for Phas: Last month, there's been some noisy agitation from TV (RTBF) saying a lot of "Commnunes" (local districts) in South Belgium have rivers / sources contaminated by PHAS from industrial discharges. I'm not concerned but ...

Last week it was a reportage from France 2 TV, saying some sources from Nestlé Waters have been manipulated / filtered.
Plusieurs producteurs d’eau en bouteille ont filtré illégalement leur eau pour masquer une contamination.
Selon une enquête du "Monde" et de la cellule investigation de Radio France, Nestlé et d’autres industriels ont caché au public que l’eau qu’ils pompaient était contaminée. Pour continuer de la mettre en bouteille, ils ont eu recours à des systèmes de purification interdits. 30% des marques seraient concernées.

What many people don't know is why inhale far more micro plastics than we ingest. The size of a credit card every week.
Frequently airing a room is important to let less poluted new air come in.
