🚨 **Top 5 Most Toxic Fabrics (and Why) **
Not all fabrics are safe for you—or the planet. Here’s the science behind the worst offenders:
1️⃣ Polyester: Made from petroleum and treated with antimony (a carcinogen). It also sheds microplastics, harming marine life and potentially entering our food chain. 2️⃣ Nylon: Produced with harsh chemicals like formaldehyde and emits nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 300x worse than CO₂. 3️⃣ Spandex (Elastane): Made with polyurethane, it’s loaded with toxic solvents that are harmful during production and can cause skin irritation + further issues 4️⃣ Acrylic: Contains acrylonitrile, a carcinogen linked to respiratory issues, dizziness, and headaches. 5️⃣ Bamboo (Non-Organic): Often marketed as “eco-friendly,” but most bamboo fabric is processed with toxic chemicals like carbon disulfide to create bamboo viscose, harming workers and ecosystems.
The Fix: Choose organic cotton, Tencel (Lyocell), hemp, linen, or wool for safer, more sustainable choices. 🌿
