You may be careful about what you put IN your body – but beware of what you put ON it. Your clothes may be full of dangerous chemicals.
• “Wrinkle free” or “no-iron” clothes can contain toxic PFCs – which can’t be eliminated. We absorb them through our skin and they accumulate in our body’s cells.
• Synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon may have polyvinyl chloride in there. It’s a carcinogen that disrupts hormones.
If your clothes have been dry cleaned – get them out of the plastic and air them out before wearing them. Wearing a barrier layer like a T-shirt or tank top underneath can also protect you from some of the chemicals used in the dry cleaning process.
