Why is it IMPORTANT to wash new clothes before wear
Bashny.Net
If you don't wash new clothes before wear, it is possible that by the end of reading this article, you'll change your mind.
Raise your hand if you brought home a new shirt or pants from the store and wore them without washing. Often, maybe even usually, a fabric look pristine when they were just removed from the hanger.You probably think they are clean or relatively clean, but tests conducted by Philip Tierno, PhD, Director of the Department of Microbiology and immunology at new York University, at the request of the program "Good morning America", found some causing dangerous compounds, hidden in the clothes.
Tire tested pants, blouses, underwear, jackets and other garments, purchased in online stores (both high and low-level). The tests showed that the "new" clothes are hiding some unsavory connections, including:
As Cirno told ABC News: "Some garments were heavily contaminated with a large number of organisms... this indicates that either they were tried on many people, or tried on someone with a very strong pollution, In a way, you touch someone's armpit, or groin. Of course, you want to protect yourself from all this... most Likely you're not gonna get sick and, in most cases, this is true, but potentially possible."
What you can potentially get sick, trying on the clothing? The organisms that cause hepatitis a, traveler's diarrhea, MSRS, Salmonella, norovirus, fungal infections and strep – all this is possible, if we are talking about the clothes tried on by several people.
Even lice and scabies can potentially be transmitted by trying on clothes. The probability to get infected? No. But is it possible? Yes, especially if your immune system is not functioning as it should.
Chemical pollutants: another reason to wash new clothes
Depending on what country manufactured the clothes, it might contain some rather offensive substances. Among them azo dyes, can cause skin reaction from mild to severe.
If you are sensitive to them, such dyes can cause redness, itching and dryness of the skin, especially if the fabric rubs against the skin, for example, in the waist area, neck, underarms and thighs. Most irritants can be washed, but may need several washings.
In addition, clothing can be used - formaldehyde resin, the clothes were not rumpled and not plesnila. Not only that formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. Resin is even associated with the occurrence of eczema, skin peeling or the appearance of the rash.
Moreover, the production of clothing usesethoxylate of Nonylphenol (ENF) — toxic surfactant, causing endocrine disorders.
You certainly do not want to be exposed to ENF, if it can be avoided, but the fact is that washing clothes in the ENF gets into local water sources where wastewater treatment plants are not able to remove these substances.
When released into the environment, ENF break down into Nonylphenol (NP) is a toxic chemical substance that causes endocrine disruption, which accumulates in sediments and fish and wildlife.
Chemicals can hide in the clothes even after the wash,unfortunately, washing does not remove all the chemicals from the clothes.For example, in the tissue, including, for clothes, sometimes adding antimicrobial agent triclosan. Research has shown that triclosan can affect the regulation of hormones and disrupt development of the fetus.
According to the results of animal studies also expressed concern about its ability to affect fertility, and bacteria exposed to triclosan may become resistant to antibiotics. There has been speculation about the increased risk of cancer.
Meanwhile, washable clothing is a common source of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), which are toxic to humans and the environment. About the PFC is more often heard in connection with the non-stick properties of the cookware, but in fabric they can also be found.
If you do not buy clothes made of organic materials, the clothes that are sold in stores is made from genetically modified cotton, heavily treated with pesticides and other chemicals in the production process.
The organic consumers Association (FRA) says:
"The chemicals used in cotton production are not confined to farming.To facilitate the harvesting, use of herbicides which the plants shed their leaves — then the box tearing much easier. In the process of textile production from plants using a variety of chemicals for bleaching, sizing, dying, straightening, anti-shrinkage, resistance to stains and smell, fire resistant and antistatic properties, malostonski, and that the fabric is less wrinkling. Some of these chemicals are applied with heat treatment which can glue them to the cotton fibers. During the entire process the fabric is washed several times, but the remnants of air conditioners and powders of the final product washed out completely. Chemical substances frequently used for final processing of tissues include formaldehyde, caustic soda, sulphuric acid, bromide, urea resins, sulfonamides and Halogens. Imported clothing are often impregnated with a persistent disinfectants (they are easy to recognize by smell), which are very difficult to remove. These and other remnants of chemicals dangerous to people with multiple chemical sensitivity. In addition, people have developed allergic reactions such as hives, to formaldehyde through skin contact with formaldehyde containing solutions, can be used when Ironing clothes.
Traditionally grown genetically modified cotton — "the dirtiest crop in the world"it May surprise you, but cotton is considered the dirtiest crop in the world due to heavy use of hazardous herbicides and insecticides in the cotton industry, including some of the most dangerous insecticides available on the market. According to the organic trade Association:
"Cotton is considered the most "dirty" crop in the world due to extensive use of insecticides and the most dangerous to human health and animal pesticides. Cotton covered 2.5% of the cultivated land in the world, but it consumes 16% of global insecticides – more than any other individual culture. Aldicarb, parathion and methamidophos three of the most dangerous to human health insecticide defined by the world health organization, are among the ten most frequently used for growing cotton. Six most commonly used classified from moderate to very dangerous. Aldicarb, the second best selling insecticide for cotton, the most poisonous to humans, just a drop of this substance can kill a person if absorbed through the skin; however, it is still used in 25 countries and in the US, where 16 States have reported its presence in groundwater".
As you might imagine, this is dangerous on several levels — for the farmers working with these chemicals for people living nearby, the consumers buying the cotton and virtually everyone who will eventually suffer from this widespread environmental pollution.
This is the reason why I strongly recommend you choose clothing made from organic cotton, if possible — it will not be genetically modified and will not experience the terrible action of toxins.
Safe clothes: basic tipsLook for things made from organic cotton is a great start for finding safe and nontoxic garments (either for you or for the environment). You can look for the label OEKO-TEX Standard 100 – this means that the clothes tested by an independent laboratory which has documented that the warm harmful levels of more than 100 substances, including:
When trying on new clothes in the store - do not remove my entire (or at least a linen, and having come home, wash him, too). It is a good idea to wash your hands after going to the shops – because you touched things, which could be chemicals and other pollutants. published
