How far back in terms of manufacturing does this go? Is this new or does it go all the way back to the old foam earpad headphones? The article doesn't say how old the headphones they tested were.
It'd be nice to know to have some idea how long we've all been exposed.

This is a direct result of lax regulations and enforcement, and lack of mandatory regulatory approval of products before sale by uniformly applying the precautionary principle.
It's a difficult but necessary problem to solve through constant vigilance.
