The NPR article does talk about some directly observable effects like people having trouble breathing and rashes, or 'brain fog', though I suppose that's not all conclusively casually linked. Still, it's something worth thinking about, and something I feel is worth taking into account when you have the option of buying a garment consisting of only natural fibers versus something boasting it's wrinkle-free, or if you're deciding weather or not to buy the water repellent spray that the shoe store clerk is pushing, and so on.
- llamaimperative 2y agoSorry I mean that "subtle" is probably too conservative a descriptor of the health effects. Subtle doesn't mean "low-medium confidence of significant effects," which I think is probably closer to the current assessment of the harm of these things.
- smolder 2y agoAh okay, you're right, I misunderstood you.
