A fact-checking report says the claim circulating online that wearing polyester clothing causes cancer or affects hormones by absorbing microplastics lacks scientific evidence in humans. Experts say that although polyester may release microplastics and its raw materials may contain antimony, the skin acts as a barrier, and there is currently no evidence that everyday wear causes cancer or hormonal imbalances. They recommend washing new clothes before wearing them and keeping indoor spaces well ventilated to reduce exposure risks.
