Your T-shirt, socks and even your bed linen could be deadly.
We are talking about a material that is present in 90% of wardrobes. It is produced in tons, and the “eco-friendly” label is just marketing.
Scientists are sounding the alarm: microparticles of this tissue are found in the lungs, blood and even the brain.
How does it happen?
When washing, synthetic fibers enter the water and then into the body through food and air. They accumulate over the years, causing cell mutations.
Symptoms
The first symptoms are allergies, cough, chronic fatigue. Later - tumors. But manufacturers hide the research, because the demand for cheap clothes is growing.
How to recognize dangerous fabric
Look at the label. If it says "polyester," "acrylic," or "nylon," that's a warning sign.
Natural materials are not a panacea: even cotton is often treated with chemicals.
The solution is in the right choice and care. For example, wash new clothes before wearing in water with vinegar to remove toxins.
Buying clothes from brands that use organic cotton and water-based dyes is also not a guarantee of safety.
Therefore, check the certificates that confirm the absence of harmful substances.
But what to do with the clothes you've already bought?
Don't rush to throw it away. Reduce contact with your skin: wear synthetics over natural fabrics.
Avoid heat: do not dry items on a radiator, as high temperatures increase the release of toxins.
And air out your wardrobe more often – chemical odors should disappear within 2-3 weeks.
What about children?
Their skin is 3 times thinner, so the risk of poisoning is higher. Choose clothes made of unbleached linen or bamboo.
These materials not only breathe, but also have antibacterial properties.
And never buy cheap suits with a strong smell - this is a sure sign of chemical treatment.
But the main thing is to change your approach to consumption. Buy less, but better quality. One organic T-shirt will last longer than five synthetic ones and will save your health.
