Their study said that nearly half of the paints used for needles contained chemicals known to cause cancer.
Researchers said 23 of them had the opportunity to contain the harmful elements known as azo-makers.
Although azo-creators are not something to worry about if they're completely chemically complete, the bacteria or ultraviolet rays of the sun can degrade them into other carcinogenic components (causers of cancer).
Very little was known about tattoo paint, so we started analyzing the main types used,” said study author John Swirk in His statement, After yesterday's meeting of the American Association for chemistry.
There are no detailed color stores producing pigments for specific tattoo paints, but they are all produced by large companies, and it seems to be the same as painting or textile dyeers”, Swierk said.
The American media said the news would probably cause alarm because more than 100 million Americans have at least one tattoo.
According to statistics in a 2019 study, 35% of people in the United States have such ornaments on their skin.
But despite their widespread use, US tattoos are considered a cosmetic product and there is no need to be approved by the FDA drug administration before use.
While a ban clause has been issued in the European Union this year two highly used colors of tattoos, blue and green After the regulators decided they contained dangerous chemicals.
The tattoo ink consists of two elements; pigment and binding solution.
The pigment can be a molecular or solid ingredient, such as titan dioxide.
Another substance serves to transport pigment into the middle layers of the skin.
The group had analysed chemical elements in a series of techniques, including electronic microscope (Electronic microscopy)
Apart from the discovery of azo-conservators in 23 types of pigments, they confirmed the presence of other incidents not listed on the label.
In one case, no ethanol was listed, but in the analysis it was present.
Swierkerk and his group say they hope the study will increase transparency for components and ingrendients. /ToopChannel/
