This episode is based on an interview on the Culture Apothecary podcast with clothing safety advocate Hannah Dunning, who highlights the severe lack of regulation regarding toxic chemicals in the American textile industry. She explains how common fabrics are often treated with endocrine disruptors like BPA and PFAS, which can be absorbed through the skin and linked to fertility issues and cancer. Dunning shares her personal health struggles with liver dysfunction and her grandmother's illness as catalysts for her mission to expose how synthetic materials impact human biology. The discussion emphasizes the importance of choosing natural, organic fibers with certifications like GOTS to reduce chemical exposure. Ultimately, it serves as a call to action for consumer awareness and policy reform to protect public health from "big chemical" interests.
