Ife ogula timatha kuuza anzawo zomwe tikufuna ndikupeza. Madzi obiriwira? Pafupifupi zaka 20 zapitazo kulibe. Kusamalira khungu lachilengedwe ndi zodzoladzola zomwe zimagwiradi ntchito? Zawonekera m'mano. Njira zina zopangira mabotolo amadzi apulasitiki? Moni, Bkr. Ndizosadabwitsa kuti Whole Foods ili ndi malo opitilira 400. Madola omwe tapeza movutikira amafuna njira zabwino, zabwinoko, ndipo msika wayamba kuwapatsa.

Ndipo tsopano, tikuwoneka ngati akusuta fodya pamene tikuyesetsa kukhala athanzi, chifukwa zovala zolimbitsa thupi zakhala zokongola. Ntchito ndi mafashoni aphatikizidwa kuti apange mtundu watsopano wa zovala zowoneka bwino, zogwira ntchito kwambiri - pamabajeti onse. ndipo kukula kwa thupi. M'malo mwake, zovala zolimbitsa thupi ndi yunifolomu ya tsiku ndi tsiku ya azimayi ochulukirachulukira, malinga ndi kampani yodziwitsa padziko lonse ya NPD Group. Tasinthanitsa ma jeans athu opyapyala ndi mathalauza a yoga, masewero ndichinthu chovomerezeka, ndipo chikhumbo chathu cha zida zowoneka bwino ndikugulitsa zamafashoni ndi manja amodzi.

Koma mmenemo amabisala malo akhungu pakufunafuna kwathu kwina kokhala ndi moyo wathanzi. Timagula zinthu zoyera kwambiri ndi chakudya chomwe tingathe, kupewa poizoni momwe zingathere ndikuchita masewera olimbitsa thupi, koma kodi zovala zolimbitsa thupi zomwe timavala pochita zonsezi zikulepheretsa kuyesetsa kwathu?

Zomwe zapeza kuchokera ku malipoti awiri a Greenpeace pazamankhwala pazovala zamasewera ndi mafashoni zikuwonetsa kuti atha kukhala. Kufufuza kwawo kunapeza kuti zovala zamasewera zochokera kumagulu akuluakulu zimakhala ndi mankhwala owopsa, monga Phthalates, PFCs, Dimethylformamide (DMF), Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs), ndi Nonylphenols (NPs). Ndipo kafukufuku wa ku Swedish akuyerekeza kuti khumi mwa khumi mwa zinthu zonse zokhudzana ndi nsalu "amaonedwa kuti akhoza kukhala pachiwopsezo ku thanzi la munthu."

Munkhani yofufuza za poizoni m'masewera, yofalitsidwa ndi The Guardian, Manfred Santen wa Greenpeace akuwonetsa kuti sitingadziwe zovuta za mankhwalawa ndi momwe kuwonekera kwawo mobwerezabwereza kungatikhudzire. "Kuphatikizika [kwa mankhwala] komwe timapeza muzovala sikungayambitse mavuto kwa omwe amavala posakhalitsa, koma pakapita nthawi simudziwa," adatero Santen. "Zosokoneza za Endocrine [mankhwala omwe amatha kusokoneza dongosolo la mahomoni], mwachitsanzo, simukudziwa momwe kukhudzika kwakanthawi kumakhudzira thanzi la munthu."

Ili ndi gawo latsopano. Pali kafukufuku wochepa pamutuwu (ngakhale ukukula), ndipo pakali pano ambiri omwe ali mkati mwamakampani amatsutsa mzere wofunsawu ngati wopanda vuto. Sitikufuna kuyang'ana kavalo wathu wa mphatso ya Spandex mkamwa. Pambuyo pake, bizinesi ikuyenda bwino ndipo tikuwoneka bwino kwambiri kotero kuti palibe amene akufuna kubwereranso masiku asanagulitsidwe zovala zogwirira ntchito kudziwa mtengo wa dart woyikidwa bwino.

Kupezeka kwa mankhwala owopsa pamlingo uliwonse zida zathu zolimbitsa thupi, komabe, ziyenera kukhala zovutitsa kwambiri chifukwa zimapangidwira kuti zigwirizane ndi khungu m'malo othamanga kwambiri, oyenda kwambiri, otentha kwambiri, okhala ndi chinyezi chambiri- monga tikamagwira ntchito. Kampani yodziyimira payokha yaku Swiss ya bluesign technologies-wopanga makina olimba kwambiri a certification a nsalu, omwe cholinga chake ndi kuletsa mankhwala omwe amadetsa nkhawa kuti asalowe muzinthu zopanga - amayika zovala "zotsatira zogwiritsidwa ntchito pakhungu" ndi "zotetezedwa kwa ana" m'gulu lomwelo, "okhwimitsa kwambiri" awo "okhudzana ndi malire [oletsa] mankhwala / kuletsa."

Komabe, wogulitsa REI akunena kuti "mtundu wina wa mankhwala umagwiritsidwa ntchito pafupifupi nsalu iliyonse yopangidwa kuti ipititse patsogolo ntchito yowotcha." Kuyang'ana pa chizindikirocho mu zovala zogwirira ntchito kumavumbula kuti ndizopangidwa kuchokera ku nsalu zopangira. Kuphatikiza apo, nsalu zambiri zaukadaulo - zomwe timalipira ndalama zambiri ndi nsalu zopangidwa ndi mankhwala, atero Mike Rivalland, director of activewear brand SilkAthlete. Santen anavomera, kutiuza kuti "vuto lalikulu ndilakuti ma brand amagwiritsa ntchito zowonjezera kuti apange zida zothamangitsira magiya ndi per-fluorinated substances (PFCs) kapena kupewa fungo losasangalatsa la thukuta pogwiritsa ntchito zinthu zapoizoni monga Triclosan."

Koma musataye mtima. A Adam Fletcher, director of Patagonia global Relations, akuwonetsa momwe zingakhalire zovuta kutengera mulingo wowopsa wa mankhwala omwe amafunsidwa kudzera pakhungu. “Kuvala jekete [ja] sikumapereka chiwopsezo chachikulu chowonekera,” akutero. "Ngati wina akudya zovala zodzaza ndi jekete, mwina ndiye ungagwirizane ndi chiwopsezo chotayika chifukwa chogwiritsa ntchito mankhwalawa. "

Mitundu ina ikuluikulu ikuchitapo kanthu, komabe, kupezera nsalu zapamwamba zogwirira ntchito ndi zida zobwezerezedwanso, ndikufunafuna njira zina zachilengedwe zomaliza. Patagonia yakhazikitsa ndalama ku Beyond Surface Technologies, yomwe imapanga "mankhwala othandizira nsalu zachilengedwe" ndipo ikuchotsa ma PFC, ofanana ndi a Adidas, omwe adalonjeza kuti zopangira zawo zidzakhala zopanda 99% ya PFC pofika chaka cha 2017. Mitundu yonseyi imagwirizana ndi bluesign matekinoloje, monga REI, Puma, prAna, Marmot, Nike, ndi Lululemon.

Mitundu yaying'ono yakhala ikupanga zovala zopanda poizoni zokhala ndi zida zapamwamba zomwe timafuna. Ibex imakonda kwambiri zovala za thonje ndi merino wool activewear. Evolve Fitwear imangogulitsa zida zopangidwa ku America zokhala ndi thonje wamba (monga ma leggings a thonje a LVR a 94 peresenti) ndi zida zobwezerezedwanso. Zovala za Alternative Apparel zofewa komanso zosawoneka bwino mu nsalu zachilengedwe ndi zachilengedwe zimatha kusintha kuchokera ku yoga kupita ku brunch. Zovala zophatikizika za silika wa Athlete sizongopumira mwachilengedwe komanso maantimicrobial, zimawoneka ngati zowala ngati mpweya ndipo sizimva ngati nsalu zopangira. Ndipo Super.Natural imapanga zovala zolimbitsa thupi zotsogola kwambiri kuchokera ku nsalu zosakanizidwa zopangidwa mwachilengedwe. Ndipo makampaniwa ndi sitepe patsogolo pa masewerawa mu chikhalidwe chathu chodziwa bwino za thanzi, komanso chilengedwe. (Ndipo onani Sustainable Fitness Gear iyi pa Eco-Friendly Workout.)

Kodi Chobisalira Chiyani Mu Mathalauza Anu a Yoga?

Pansipa, tapeza mankhwala ena owopsa omwe atha kukhala ovala zovala zanu kuphatikiza, chifukwa chiyani muyenera kusamala.

Zigawo: Amagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati ma platicizers pakusindikiza nsalu (opezeka mumatani a zinthu zogula), amalumikizidwa ndi khansa zina, kunenepa kwambiri kwa akulu ndikuchepetsa testosterone mwa amuna ndi akazi, ndipo ali pamndandanda wa Dirty Dozen wa Environmental Working Group.

Dimethylformamide (DMF): CDC imati DMF ndi "mankhwala osungunulira zinthu omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito popanga ulusi wa acrylic, kupanga mankhwala ... Imapezekanso mu utoto wansalu ndi mitundu ..." Imachenjeza anthu kuti apewe kukhudzana ndi khungu chifukwa limalowa mosavuta pakhungu ndipo "amatha kuwononga chiwindi ndi zovuta zina."

Nanoparticle siliva: Amagwiritsidwa ntchito muzovala zotsutsana ndi fungo komanso antimicrobial activewear koma osayesedwa chitetezo pazinthu zogula, akutero Pew Charitable Trust. Kafukufuku wa 2010 adapeza kuti "kutulutsa siliva kungakhale 'kofunikira' kwa aliyense wovala zovala izi, kuchuluka kochulukirapo katatu kuposa kuchuluka komwe mungapeze mukatenga chowonjezera chomwe chili ndi siliva." Kafukufuku wa 2013 amalumikiza ma nanomaterials ndi kusokonekera kwa endocrine ndipo kafukufuku wa 2014 2014 MIT anapeza kuti nanoparticles amatha kuwononga DNA.

Nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs) ndi Nonylphenols (NPs): Amagwiritsidwa ntchito mu zotsukira ndi zowongolera fumbi. Malinga ndi CDC, amatha kuyamwa kudzera pakhungu ndikuwonetsedwa kuti ali ndi "ma estrogenic m'mizere yamunthu". EPA imati "imalumikizidwa ndi zotsatira zoberekera ndi chitukuko cha makoswe" ndipo amawononga chilengedwe. European Union imati ndi "reprotoxic".

Ngati mukufuna kupewa zina mwazomwe zimapezeka pazida zolimbitsa thupi, tsatirani malangizo athu okonzera zovala "zotsuka".

• Pewani kusindikiza pazenera ndi kusindikiza kwa pulasitiki, komwe kungapangitse magawo ambiri.
• Gulani nsalu zachilengedwe (kapena zosakanizidwa) monga silika, thonje ndi ubweya. Nsalu zachilengedwe mwachilengedwe zimakhala maantimicrobial ndi antibacterial, zabwino pamagetsi amisala, komanso zopumira.

• Mugwiritsa ntchito liti? Ngati mukuvala china chilichonse pakhungu lanu tsiku lonse, onjezerani chidutswa ndi mankhwala ochepa omwe angakhale oopsa momwe mungathere.

Sambani Iwo Mwanzeru

Kaya muli ndi chipinda chodzaza ndi ma bras amasewera a silika kapena mumavala nsalu zaukadaulo 24/7, sungani zida zanu zolimbitsa thupi zaukhondo, zokhazikika komanso zogwira ntchito kwautali momwe mungathere.
