Shower liners come in lots of different materials, some of which can be unsafe to you and your family. Here’s how to keep water in your shower and toxic chemicals out.
Most shower curtains are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic. What makes the PVC plastic soft is a class of chemicals known as phthalates. Phthalates often get released into the air and are inhaled. Exposure to these are linked to reproductive health issues, neurodevelopment problems, liver cancer, birth defects, asthma and allergies.
Polyethylene vinyl acetate (PEVA) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) plastics have become a popular alternative to PVC because they’re made without chloride. Animal studies suggest, however, that they still have negative health impacts.
Polyester or nylon are woven plastics. They don’t have chloride or release harmful chemicals into the air like PVC, and they’re easily washable. But they’re still plastic materials derived from petroleum.
Bioplastics are made from renewable plant sources, such as corn or sugar cane, rather than petrochemicals. They are free of harmful chemicals used to make plastic, but how these plants are grown can have negative environmental impacts.
Fabrics such as cotton, linen or hemp–ideally sustainably harvested, organic and untreated–are preferable. Fabrics can keep the water from ending up outside the tub, though they have to be washed more often than plastic materials to ensure mold doesn’t grow.
