Clothes could literally make you ill? Our voracious appetite for fashion has created the need for a massive garment-manufacturing industry, and the proliferation of major industrial sites poses environmental and health concerns. Even those cool thrift and vintage clothes we are snagging for that retro-cool look may be giving us more than we bargained for. A recent report by the Panafrican News Agency warned that millions of people might be exposing themselves to serious health problems including scabies, radioactivity, ringworm, skin infections, and tuberculosis, by wearing secondhand clothes without washing them.
Chemicals that are used to make textiles wrinkle free and solvents used to clean stains put workers at risk and pollute water and air. The dry-cleaning solvent perchlorethylene (perc) was recently classified as a probable human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and has been linked to a whole host of health problems, including breast cancer and liver and kidney damage, yet is still used by 85 percent of dry cleaners in the U.S. Most of us have heard about the possible health risks but inexplicably weigh the pros of crisp, clean dry-cleaned clothes as higher than the cons. Fashion shields us from our own common sense. It also has the uncanny ability to brainwash us into overlooking our moral convictions.clothes, fashion, style, usa – image #320035 on Favim.com Ltf
