So many ways to dye fabric: I had no idea. Also, interesting how many steps there are in the process of treating the fibres before they even become fabric. New info for me.
Interesting bits about formaldehyde, a carcinogen, and how different countries track "safe" amounts, one at 20ppm, for instance, another at 75, some don't have a standard (like the U.S.), how random testing produces rates in the 100s and 1000s.

Surprised to learn that some of the treatments to clothing are still intact after 50 washings, but then amazed to learn, in a later chapter, that some are still intact after 100 washings (anti-stain, anti-insect, etc.) and I know that, at some point, I would have felt that was a good thing, preserving the purpose of it all, but, now, understanding they're using carcinogens to achieve that, it's a whole matter.
