We would like to cordially invite
you to join us for a webinar.
The Influence of Clothing and Other Textiles on
Your Exposure to Indoor Air Pollutants
Hosted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Date and Time: Thursday, November 14, 2019, 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. EST
Textiles can have a very large capacity to accumulate indoor pollutants. As such, textiles can act as a major source, but they also can act as a sink that can lower exposure depending on their history. Given clothing’s close proximity to the skin, it can be a particularly influential exposure mediator. Laboratory and human studies now show how important textiles can be in controlling exposure and also provide data allowing for the testing of new exposure models. Extrapolation from these models shows just how much clothing influences population exposure to indoor pollutants, but also suggests ways to use textiles to control exposure.
