Honey, do you prefer Ironing or formaldehyde?

Lindsay Coulter, aka the Queen of Green, featured on the website of David Suzuki also write blurbs for Metro newspaper. Today she tells us that wrinkle-free shirts have been treated with formaldehyde which a) decreases the lifetime of the shirt by making the fabric brittle and b) emits fumes that can be inhaled and cause cancer. Not buying any more of these shirts is a way to avoid formaldehyde but remember it is also found in air fresheners, nail polish, carpets, furniture, kitchen cabinets and bed sheets. Leaves me thinking how hard it is to find shirts that wrinkle to start with - you see, we don't buy dress shirts very often and would need even fewer if somebody in this household was not an aspiring accountant. Never mind, men in dress shirts look good! They should know how to iron though, too.
