Toxic clothing! Unsustainable name brands
On Greenpeace website:
"Our latest Detox campaign report found residues of a variety of hazardous chemicals in clothing made by 20 global fashion brands. This page contains examples of the results we found including widespread use of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), which break down in the environment to form hormone-disrupting chemicals.
It is important to note that the levels of chemicals detected are not known to constitute any direct health risk to the wearers of these garments. However, these chemicals have a range of hazardous effects on human health and other organisms when released into the environment."
