However, many people do not realize is that a lot of production of raw materials such as cotton clothing, ramie and other stages in the plant are widely used pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides, pollution of the environment. Storage of raw materials, the use of preservatives such as pentachlorophenol, mildew, moth agent; in the weaving process, the use of oxidant, catalyst, detergent; in dyeing and printing, the use of azo dyes, formaldehyde and halogenated goods. According to “International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements,” Statistics show that every three kilograms used in the manufacture of cotton T-shirt and jeans, some need to consume 1 kg of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and accounted for 3% of world agricultural production of cotton growing land, but use more than 25% of the pesticide, the pesticide residue on the cotton can imagine, the human body in contact with too many clothes with such cotton production, such as in the skin may cause varying degrees of damage, at the same time, a large number of pesticides and chemical fertilizers on groundwater pollution, it is shocking.
