Michigan State researchers are developing transparent solar glass that captures invisible UV and near-infrared light while letting visible light through. Windows could one day generate electricity without being tinted. Efficiency and cost are still challenges…
✨ Most synthetic clothing like polyester and nylon are petroleum-based products, not just simple fabrics.
✨ Chemical additives like flame retardants, PFAS, and formaldehyde can transfer from clothing to skin, especially with heat, sweat, and prolonged wear.
✨ Synthetic clothing sheds microplastic fibers during washing and wear. These particles have been found in human blood, lungs, and other tissues.
✨ Making informed swaps for underwear, sleepwear, children's clothing, and activewear are the most impactful changes, as these items have the longest and closest skin contact.
