About Neasa Nic Corcráin

Hi! My name is Neasa Nic Corcráin and I’m an Environmental Science and Engineering student at Trinity College Dublin.

My research project is titled “Investigating the link between heavy metals in menstrual hygiene products and hormonal reproductive health"

This research aims to explore how heavy metals commonly found in menstrual products,  like lead and arsenic, may impact hormonal health in the short term. I’ll be testing a range of products in collaboration with an analytical laboratory, running a survey to assess self-reported hormonal symptoms, and analysing the data to understand potential risks. I’m also interested in how aware consumers are of these risks and hope the project will help advocate for safer product formulations, clearer labelling, and stronger regulations.

I look forward to meeting other members of the Laidlaw community, feel free to contact me!
