JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – If you go through a lot of trouble to avoid foods with chemicals, or even tap water that could contain toxins, are you going far enough to keep from getting sick?

Some doctors are now warning that what you’re wearing could be dangerous to your health — especially your children. In fact, while there are legal limitations for chemicals in children’s toys, there are no regulations for children’s clothing.

Jessica Kaye never expected to have a closet full of mostly cotton clothes. But a few years ago she started reading about what’s in a lot of clothing, and she got scared.

“One of the big turning points was when I found out about a chemical that causes sterility. That made me buy different undergarments for my children,” said Kaye.

Now her family wears clothes made mostly of organic materials.

“What I want to put on my body is not stuff with chemicals,” Kaye told News4Jax.

But when you are wearing everyday, average clothing, that’s exactly what Dr. Saman Soleymani, medical director from Avecina Medical, says you are doing.

“There’s more than 8,000 chemicals in the textile industry, and that’s insane,” Soleymani explained. “We’re so concerned with the chemicals we ingest, but people fail to realize — with skin being the largest organ system — that it absorbs everything it comes in contact with.”

Soleymani points to a report released by Greenpeace, which detected a range of toxic chemicals in clothes. These include formaldehyde and phthalates. But you won’t find these chemicals listed on tags.
