Neurodegeneration is ever more a concern for women with now over 65% of them being affected by Alzheimer, unlike 35% of men. Most jump to the conclusion that men have a shorter life span. But in wealthy nations, the current life expectancy is now 80 to 83. New level of extreme high imagery in Resonance Magnetic Imagery at levels of 12 Tesla, are now showing indeed the effects of very high Hydrophobic materials on neurodegeneration.

So, what is BDC? As with the Echa definition of SVHC (Substance of Very High Concern), BDC is Brain Degenerative Concern. Suffice to say that in the EU nations, we are counting now per year over 890 000 new Alzheimer cases and also, we can add Parkinson cases. That is another 50 000 to 85 000 cases.

BDC studies are showing great concern for esters such as Dibutyl Adipate and ButylOctyl Salicylate that are used to solubilize Organic crystal filters. It is sad really to see how many low-level testing companies, are ready to break effectively strict SPF protection rules.
