Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page discussion of textiles and the environmental factors which affect them. Textiles are defined and distinguished as either industrial or of general use. The author contends that textile products are subject to a number of environmental hazards. These potential hazards sometimes necessitate climate control in respect to lighting, temperature and humidity. Textiles are also impacted by such factors as insects and rodents, fire and smoke, and even time itself. As though these considerations weren’t enough, textiles can also be adversely impacted by mechanical and chemical factors. Each of these factors are discussed alongside possible measures to control them. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Textile products are subject to a number of environmental hazards. These potential hazards sometimes necessitate climate control in respect to lighting, temperature and humidity. Textiles are also
impacted by such factors as insects and rodents, fire and smoke, and even time itself. As though these considerations werent enough, textiles can also be adversely impacted by mechanical
and chemical factors. The purpose of this paper is to review each of these potential hazards and to suggest methodologies which can be employed to reduce or eliminate their
potential impacts. To begin our discussion on the factors which can adversely impact textiles, it is first useful to define the
term textile. Textiles are actually quite diverse in their manifestations. It can be commonly agreed, however, that textiles are those semifinished or finished products composed primarily from fabric
and cloth (Transport Information Service, 2003). In turn, fabric and cloth can be defined as products which are produced using a weaving process to bind together yarns or threads
(Transport Information Service, 2003). These yarns and threads can be composed of the fibers of man-made or natural materials. Polyesters serve as an example of a man-made type
of fiber while cotton, wool, silk, linen, hemp, jute and a variety of other animal or plant derived materials serve as examples of natural fibers. The weaving process utilizes
a minimum of two sets of threads or yarn arranged perpendicularly to one another (Transport Information Service, 2003). Subsets of these threads or yarns are then passed alternately over
and under one another in a precise order which produces the weave pattern. The usefulness of the definition of textiles provided
