PFAs, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are manufactured "forever chemicals" that migrate into the environment, building up in our bodies, and never breaking down in the environment. PFAs are often used for fabric or textile treatments because of their water and dirt-repellent properties. Unfortunately PFAs have been used for decades and can be found in various products, including cookware, clothing, and cosmetics.

Until ROTE, we had no idea formaldehyde – a known human carcinogen, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer – was in clothing. With its excellent preserving properties, the chemical is prevalent in clothing production for wrinkle and crease resistance, and helps dyes and inks better penetrate fabrics; it also plays a significant role in the fashion industry to help prevent mildew when transporting. Headaches and sore throats arise for many when wearing new clothes without washing them, due to formaldehyde. The chemical can also cause respiratory problems and skin irritation.
