Countless
individuals around the world begin their day by getting dressed before they
leave their homes. What people don't know is what they are putting on their
bodies and feet. Toxins in clothing have become a topic of interest as our society
continues to witness the effects from toxins on an individual level as well

Clothing
and shoes continue to be produced with hazardous toxins. Continuing my
research on toxins in clothing products, I have discovered another popular item

Leather shoes are soaked in chemicals prior to being worn and can be
hazardous throughout the shoe’s life cycle.

countries. The study provides a clear picture of the different types of metals
and compounds used to produce shoes.
