What are the dangers of artificial fibers?

Artificial fibers are commonly used materials in modern life. They can be used in all aspects and play a very important role in people's lives. However, compared with natural fibers, artificial fibers are harder in texture and easily irritate the skin, causing some troubles for people. Man-made fibers are mainly composed of chemical fibers. Let’s take a look at the hazards of man-made fibers. I hope everyone can understand it.

Man-made fibers are one of the two major categories of chemical fibers. Certain natural polymer compounds or their derivatives are used as raw materials, which are dissolved to make textile solutions and then spun into fibers. Bamboo, wood, bagasse, cotton linter, etc. are all raw materials for making artificial fibers. According to the shape and use of artificial fibers, they are divided into three types: rayon, artificial cotton and artificial wool. Important varieties include viscose fiber, acetate fiber, cupro fiber, etc.

Frequent wearing of synthetic underwear in summer often causes skin diseases such as tinea cruris and eczema;

Nylon underwear can also cause urinary tract infections such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, and painful urination;

Chemical fiber fabrics can irritate the bronchial membrane and cause bronchial asthma attacks;

Polyamide fiber (nylon) and polyacrylonitrile fiber (acrylic) may cause skin allergic reactions;

Chemical fiber fabrics used to make underwear can easily cause allergic skin inflammation such as itching, pain, redness, swelling, blisters, as well as odor and headaches;

Rayon clothing can easily cause colds, and can cause frequent attacks or aggravate diseases such as rhinitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, emphysema, arthritis, rheumatic heart disease, nephritis, etc., leading to long-term failure to heal.

In addition to the above, some additives (resin finishing agents, anti-pilling agents, dyeing auxiliaries, softeners, anti-settling agents), etc. are usually added during the manufacturing and processing of some textiles. Most of these additives are chemical synthetics, which are also harmful to the human body. Recommendation: For people with allergies and infants, it is best to choose natural fiber textiles. In addition, new textiles must be washed before wearing. This will be safer.
