Are school uniforms making kids ill?
PARENTS are today warned that their children’s school uniforms could be making them ill. Children are being exposed to toxic and cancer-causing chemicals used to make some types of school uniforms. As tens of thousands of Welsh children return to school this week after the long summer break, WWF Cymru urged parents to check their children’s clothing labels for man-made chemicals, which are known to contaminate people and wildlife. Chemicals which belong to the “non-stick” family of perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) are increasingly being used in synthetic clothing, including children’s clothing.
