The Impact of Polyester Clothing on Health
Polyester clothing is made from polyethylene terephthalate, which has phthalates attached to every molecule. Research on the leaching of these chemicals from clothing is limited but might reveal negative effects in the future. It is advisable to be cautious with polyester clothing, especially items like underwear, bed sheets, and pillowcases, as they can lead to potential health risks due to constant contact with the skin and breathing in the chemicals.
