Millions of students are exposed to cancer-causing “forever chemicals” nearly every day through their school uniforms, a bombshell study found. Potentially harmful levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances were detected in all the “stain-resistant” school uniforms that researchers tested from nine brands popular in the US and Canada., were also detected in 65% of all school uniforms, rain gear, snowsuits, snowshoes, mittens, bibs, hats and stroller covers tested. The chemicals were found in uniforms made from 100% cotton, cotton spandex and cotton polyester.
“I don’t know any parent who values stain repellency over their child’s health,” said Miriam Diamond, co-author of the study and professor at the University of Toronto.
