Toxic clothes

Post by Firestarter »

Not only do these synthetic clothes look tacky and feel bad on your skin, most of them contain toxic chemicals that can make you sick.
What kind of psychopaths put toxic material in clothes that get absorbed through the skin?!?
It’s becoming more difficult to avoid these chemicals. There are multiple chemicals that are put in everything. And your clothing is included in that.
.
The chemicals found in clothing include BPA, PFAS, and phthalates, that interfere with our endocrine system, and can cause weight fluctuations, fatigue, and infertility.
PFAS can be found in British school uniforms and exposes these kids to 1.03 parts per billion of PFAS per kilogram of their body weight per day. Besides skin rashes, PFAS cause cancer, fetal abnormalities, reproductive disorders, obesity, and immune deficiency.

Flight attendants’ uniforms contained tributyl phosphate, lead, arsenic, cobalt, antimony, restricted disperse dyes that cause allergic reactions, toluene, hexavalent chromium, and dimethyl fumarate.

After American Airlines, Delta, and Southwest introduced new shiny polyester uniforms, instead of the old standard wool, many flight attendants got ill, and even died.
Alaska Airlines flight attendants have suffered from blistering rashes, swollen eyelids crusted with pus, hives, blurred vision, and severe breathing problems and (other) allergic reactions caused by their toxic uniforms: https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/202 ... -bpa-toxic


The toxins in polyester include phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are endocrine disruptors that can cause reproductive disorders for women.
Polyester also causes low sperm counts in men.

Polyester can also cause redness, itchiness, and skin rashes.

AZO Dyes are banned in the EU because they cause cancer, but still used in the USA.
Sweat or rain make them more easily absorbed through your skin: https://thefullest.com/2020/12/top-toxi ... -wardrobe/


Brominated flame retardants (BFR) are used to prevent burning in a wide range of products, including clothes.
BFRs are linked to thyroid disease, hormonal disruption and neurological issues.

The oil in your sweat can “help the bad chemicals to come out of the microplastic fibers and become available for human absorption”: https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/20 ... als-cancer


BPA (Bisphenol A) is found in water bottles, canned foods, toys, flooring and (of course) clothing.
BPA can cause premature death, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, asthma, obesity and erectile dysfunction.

Sports bras from several brands can expose wearers to up to 22 times the safe limit of BPA, including: Athleta, PINK, Asics, The North Face, Brooks, All in Motion, Nike, and FILA.
Shirts from the following brands expose the wearers to similar dangerous levels of BPA - The North Face, Brooks, Mizuno, Athleta, New Balance, and Reebok: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/17/busi ... index.html
