	abstract = {Clothing has always played a vital role in people’s lives, indicating social and moral status and the state of health. In a
world where, for some, the appearance of a clothing product plays a much more important role than the quality of the
product itself, it is necessary to know that although an item is fashionable and affordable, it may pose a real danger to
health. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to analyse, from a chemical point of view (phthalates and
formaldehyde determination, FTIR measurements), the materials from which various clothing items are made and their
behaviour under certain conditions (accelerated UV and visible light exposure), to highlight the danger of purchasing
low-quality products. The obtained results showed that although the samples are inexpensive and look nice, they contain
compounds dangerous for human health, such as phthalates and formaldehyde, which are present in materials that
should not come into contact with skin and stained the material support after intensive light exposure.},
