Greenpeace looks for fluorinated pollutants in outdoor clothing made by different brands (Adidas, Columbia, Jack Wolfskin, Kaikkialla, Mammut, Northland, Patagonia, Salewa, Schoeffel, Seven Summits, The North Face, Vaude).The latest investigation by Greenpeace Germany reveals that outdoor clothing contains chemicals that are hazardous to the environment and to human health. This follows an analysis conducted on items produced and sold by various outdoor clothing brands. From the fifteen jackets and two pairs of gloves tested, all samples except one were found to contain concentrations of both perfuorinated and polyfuorinated chemicals (PFCs). The one exception was a PFC-free declared jacket which was contaminated with perfuorinated chemicals (ionic PFCs). The investigation also found that these hazardous chemicals are released into the air from the items of clothing.In original language:Detox Report "Chemie fuer Gipfelstuermer" LaboruntersuchungDetox Report "Chemie fuer Gipfelstuermer".
