Hello all. I'm asking these questions out of worries, they are not homework,
I have already left school for decades. Because I have so many concerns about this topic so I am trying to break it down into questions without boring you with a long story.
1. How many types of man-made leather (for clothing) ?
2. Do they often have fairly the same composition but only a slight variation? Or
could they vary a lot?
3. I have been hearing that man-made or faux leather could be hazardous to health.
4. Are the risks due to the chemical itself or other chemicals / addictives used
in the manufacturing process?
5. Do the risks naturally exist because of the nature of the chemicals itself or do they only exist if it's manufactured by inappropriate or illegal process?
6. Is there any sign that we can determine if it's a "risky" leather? Many people said that to check if it has strong and unpleasant smell. Is it true?
Does the extent of the smell reflect the risk of the leather?
7. Is there anything we can do to eliminate or reduce the possible risks that
come from the man-made / faux leather products?
Thanks
