Are chemical fiber fabrics harmful to the human body?

In fact, in our country there are many people who like to wear clothes made of fabric. With the development and progress of society, chemical fiber fabrics have gradually entered the fabric market. Many people choose this kind of clothes that look beautiful. But only those who have worn them know that synthetic clothes are actually not very comfortable to wear. Nowadays, our clothes basically consist of three categories: cotton fabrics, chemical fiber fabrics and wool products. So are chemical fiber fabrics harmful to the human body?

Chemical fibers are harmful to the human body, especially when used as underwear. Please refer to the following information:

There are many varieties of chemical fiber fabrics, such as polypropylene, nylon, nylon and glass fiber. These chemical fiber fabrics have replaced natural fibers to a certain extent.

Chemical fiber fabrics are cheap and highly wear-resistant, so some people wear clothes made of chemical fiber fabrics too much and too frequently, and even wear chemical fiber fabrics as underwear. They don’t know that compared with cotton, linen, silk and wool, chemical fiber clothing contains many pathogenic factors and is harmful to human health.

(1) Synthetic fiber fabrics have static electricity. For example, nylon and chlorofiber belts have strong static electricity, which can induce functional arrhythmia - ventricular premature beats in some people. If you take off the synthetic fiber clothes, the premature beats will decrease and disappear. The reason is that chemical fiber underwear generates static electricity when it comes into contact with the body surface, which changes the body's biopotential, interferes with normal cardiac electrical conduction, and causes arrhythmia.

(2) Synthetic fiber fabrics contain additives. There are more than 8,000 additives in the manufacturing process of chemical fiber fabrics, such as bleach, softener, etc. If you wear underwear made of chemical fiber fabrics, the chemical fiber substances on the fabric will be easily absorbed by the human body. Over time, it will cause cumulative irritation and cause eczema, contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, etc. A Japanese survey found that the number of women suffering from cystitis has increased, mainly due to wearing synthetic underwear. Some young women wear chemical fiber fabrics from their underwear and underpants to their outer pants and tops, which can easily cause the growth and reproduction of bacteria in the urethra, thus causing cystitis.

(3) Elderly people wearing synthetic clothing can easily induce and aggravate skin pruritus. Because the sebaceous glands and sweat glands of the elderly atrophy, the secretion of sebum and sweat glands decreases, the skin becomes dry and flaky, and the immune function decreases. If they wear synthetic underwear for a long time, static electricity stimulation can induce itching of the skin on the chest, back, and limbs. If they already have pruritus, the itching will be aggravated, making it difficult for the elderly to fall asleep.

(4) Chemical fiber fabrics will also absorb dust due to static electricity. Underwear absorbs dust and sticks close to the skin, which causes friction and irritation. It can cause allergic dermatitis and folliculitis, and is even more harmful to human health. Based on the above-mentioned harm of chemical fiber fabrics to the human body, people should not wear chemical fiber clothes too much or for too long, especially underwear should not be worn with chemical fiber fabrics, but cotton fabric underwear should be worn. People with allergies and the elderly should not wear chemical fiber fabrics indoors or outdoors. Infants and young children have delicate skin and cannot tolerate stimulation. In addition, chemical fiber fabrics have poor water absorption, so children's clothes, quilts, etc. should not be made of chemical fiber fabrics.

The above is a main introduction to whether chemical fiber fabrics are harmful to the human body. I hope it can help everyone. In fact, even without my introduction, I believe that after trying it yourself, you will find that pure cotton clothes are the most comfortable to wear. After reading the above article, will you no longer easily choose clothes made of expensive fabrics to wear next to your body?
