Did You Know?
According to a study from Yoga Journal, “almost 16 million people are practicing yoga and interest is rapidly increasing.” When looking for the best yoga mat, many people are unaware that PVC Yoga Mats contain a number of hazardous toxins and chemicals. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the main ingredient found in industrial manufactured yoga mats. Vinyl chloride, a known carcinogen, is the base substance found in PVC. Other common chemical additives found in PVC yoga mats include lead, cadmium, and phthalates. Health risks associated with these chemical additives include reproductive problems, cancer, disruptions in the endocrine system, and many other conditions. These additives are also emitted during use and leak into groundwater when disposed of in a landfill. As well, PVC is non biodegradable, creates harmful carcinogens known as dioxins during manufacturing, and cannot be recycled.
