So you do not know, thank the scientists for theirregular opening or scolding. Such a familiar ritual, like washing, is now considered almost life-threatening. And how can we girls live with the information that washing machines can cause infertility? And the matter is not in the devices themselves, but in the fact that we, shaking over the quality of our things, most often erase them at a low temperature. The fact is that in the drum of an average washing machine there are about 100 million bacteria during washing at 15 degrees are not guaranteed their destruction, say researchers from Germany. They echo and scientists from the University of Toronto, who concluded that our clothes during the day also accumulate harmful pollutants from the air. When we wash it, water takes all these toxins.

Previously, scientists could not understand how, for example, non-combustible chemicals contained in furniture, computers and other electronics are found in rivers and lakes. In theory, of course, all sewage should pass through multi-level treatment systems before being released into reservoirs. However, as the study showed, even these systems cannot completely remove from the water the very pollutants that cause a decrease in libido and fertility, birth defects and a low IQ in newborns. You can imagine that cotton, the material that is so recommended for everyday clothing, stores the most of these chemicals! It is this material that absorbs the most non-combustible chemicals and phthalates from the air and indoor spaces, and natural fibers absorb more chemicals than synthetic ones.
