ClearSuspect and non-target screening of chemicals in clothing textiles by reversed-phase liquid chromatography/hybrid quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry
Researchers chemically screened 24 imported garments sold in Sweden and detected dozens of hazardous compounds including carcinogenic quinoline, mutagenic nitroanilines, phthalates (plasticizers), and organophosphates — several at concentrations exceeding regulatory limits. Because clothing stays in prolonged contact with skin and many of these chemicals can be absorbed through it, the study raises significant concerns about unregulated chemical exposure from everyday clothing.
