Environmentally friendly my arse!
Workers employed in fur production use a carcinogenic three-valent and six-valent chrome, which increases the risk of testicle cancer, while high concentrations of dangerous substances for fur processing like lead, cyanide and formaldehyde pollute water, which can cause leukemia in local people. According to American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), all toxics that contain chrome are considered hazardous and dangerous. Inadequate waste handling can lead to water contamination. According to study issued by Ministry of Health State of New York, more than fifty percent of testicle cancer victims are among skin-tanning employees.
