Residues of a dangerous pollutant have, according to the Federal Environment Agency, continued to be detected in almost all investigated urine samples of children.
Two years ago, a Federal Office in the urine of children made a worrying finding: prohibited plasticizers, which originate from impurities in sunscreens. However, contact with the harmful substance has also been established in new samples.
Once again the Federal Environment Agency discovered traces of a dangerous plasticizer in the urine of numerous people. The origin: sunscreen. Improvement can only be expected from 2027.

Again, toxicologists find residues of a dangerous plasticizer in urine samples. The extent and concentration surprise the experts.
Dessau – According to the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA), residues of a harmful plasticizer have once again been found in the urine of children and adolescents. A breakdown product of a plasticizer, considered harmful to reproduction and present in the urine of children and adolescents, was detected in 92 percent of the samples collected between April and July of last year.
92 percent of the samples contain a breakdown product of a banned plasticizer, which can be traced back to sunscreens – just like two years ago.
