Killer Clothes - How Clothing Choices Endanger Your Health (Paperback)

This book reveals in unprecedented detail the toxic truth about the clothes we wear and the surprising number of harmful effects on health caused by garments once considered safe. This is a well-documented expose that the clothing and chemical industries would rather you never learned about.

From toxic chemicals like formaldehyde and phthalates to insecticides, flame retardants, and nano-particles, synthetic clothing today contains a toxic stew of dozens of substances that pose a threat to both human and environmental health. Readers will discover which fabrics and clothes contribute to breast cancer, infertility, and a range of diseases, and which garments are safe to wear.

Based on medical science, these studies have been brought together for the first time in one place; important findings which have previously been hidden from public awareness.
