Is synthetic sports apparel safe to wear in active play?
You may be surprised to learn the limitations of how they are tested. European Union regulatory system currently fails to take into account the chemical cocktail effect to which we are exposed when accessing the safety of chemicals, as it is mainly done based on a single substance approach.
Active play is where your skin interacts with chemical cocktail through friction and sweating.
For example polyester moisture-wicking anti-bacterial sports apparel uses a combination of chemicals. Consumers are left out of who should know the list of chemicals used.
No tests by any regulatory authority are currently performed on the chemical cocktail. Your synthetic sportswear is untested to ascertain the level of toxicity from the chemical cocktail.
How do they get away with it? ----------------------------------------------------------
