Human Health Risks from Textile Chemicals: A Critical Review of Recent Evidence (2019-2025)

Опубликована: Апрель 29, 2025

Global textile production, driven by consumer demand, raises significant concerns about chemical exposures from clothing and related products. This review synthesizes evidence (2019–2025) on hazardous substances in textiles, including dyes, plasticizers, per- polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS), metals, identifies categorizes their associated human health risks.
