“…Furthermore, many customers also consider shearing animals as crucial. While regenerated fibers like bamboo, birch, and other woods are from natural resources, they involve the use of chemicals that might be health-adverse to the workers and toxic [76] [77] [78]. On the other hand, there is an increased demand for thermo-physiological comfort wear.…”

A comprehensive literature review was performed to create an inventory of thermal-physiological quantities for fabrics from different fiber materials, material blends, and fabric structures. The goal was to derive over-arching concepts that cannot be seen by the individual studies alone. Equations of best fits suggest non-linear changes for fabric thickness, thermal and water-vapor resistance with changes in material blend ratio. Air permeability decreases with increasing fabric density and fabric weight wherein the degree of decrease differs among fabric materials, blend ratio, and fabric structure. Water-vapor transmission rates strongly depend on fabric thickness, material, and blend, but marginally depend on fabric structure as long as the fabric and material thickness remain the same.

“…Both streams had countercurrent contact (7). The liquid stream that comes out from the bottom of the column went to a single-compartment electrochemical flow cell (5). The anode is boron-doped diamond (BDD) with Si as support and the cathode is commercial stainless steel (SS), both having a circular shape with an area of 78 cm 2 .…”

“…In the last decades, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) had constituted a relevant group of chemicals used in different processes in several industries, such as paints and solvents [1], rubbers [2], wooden furniture [3], anode manufacturing [4], polyester fabric [5] and asphalt pavement [6], among many others. These activities are associated with an environmental problem that is becoming of major relevance: the generation of gaseous polluted streams [7] which influence not only human health but also air quality and tropospheric chemistry [8].…”

“…Subsequent studies on water pollutants and impacts on aquatic ecosystems in the textile industry have been gradually conducted. [25][26][27] Qian et al 28 first applied ChF to the environmental impact assessment of gaseous pollutants in the textile industry to quantify and assess the ChF of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in polyester fabric production. Guo et al 29 proposed a new method to solve the missing characteristic factors (CFs), and constructed a ChF model that can effectively assess the environmental impact of NO X and SO 2 emissions in the textile industry.…”

Emissions of air pollutants cause adverse impacts on human health and the environment. As typical air pollutants, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide cause acid rain and particulate matter (PM). Significant emissions of nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide in the production phases make the textile industry face tremendous challenges. Determining the chemical footprint is an effective method for transforming the potential environmental risks of pollutant emissions into an intuitive form of toxicity. In this study, we adopted the chemical footprint method to assess the toxicity impact of nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions from China’s textile industry. The results indicate that the chemical footprint of nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide in China’s textile industry showed a significant decreasing trend from 2001 to 2019, and the chemical footprint of nitrogen oxide was about 11 times higher than that of sulfur dioxide. Among the three sub-sectors of China’s textile industry, the textile manufacturing sector had the highest chemical footprint, accounting for 57.1–65.7% of the total chemical footprint. The remaining chemical footprint is allocated to the chemical fibers manufacturing sector, and the textile wearing apparel, footwear, and cap manufacturing sector. The chemical footprint intensity of China’s textile industry also showed a decreasing trend from 2006 to 2015, and the chemical footprint intensity of the three sub-sectors was in the order of the chemical fibers manufacturing sector, the textile manufacturing sector, and the textile wearing apparel, footwear, and cap manufacturing sector.
