@Phlegmbuoy It's not even true. It's a common anti-vegan talking point. This video has debunked those talking points and mentions how bad the leather industry is. People really don't know what they're consuming. https://t.co/SfGVuRvkf5

The tone varies from critical to informational, showing how the publication fuels broader social discussions on sustainability and ethics.
Most discussions agree that the leather industry has environmental and ethical issues, as seen in references to the environmental harm and animal cruelty involved, with some posts supporting the research's importance.
There is high interest in the topic, evidenced by multiple references to videos, articles, and debates about the environmental impacts and alternatives like vegan leather.
Posts show deep engagement through sharing resources, calling for discussions, and emphasizing ethical and environmental concerns, indicating active participation in the topic.
The discussions suggest that the research has influenced or is part of broader debates about sustainable materials, animal rights, and industry impacts, though it remains part of ongoing discussions rather than a final conclusion.
Abstract in brief
- The study utilized a locally developed laser-induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS) with an NdYAG laser to detect hazardous pollutants such as chromium, arsenic, and lead in chrometanned leather samples from Saudi Arabia, showing contamination levels that often exceed safety standards.
- This is the first known application of LIBS for analyzing leather before and after the tanning process, demonstrating its effectiveness in identifying and quantifying toxic elements with higher sensitivity and less sample preparation compared to traditional methods like ICP or atomic absorption spectrometry.
- The findings highlight the potential of LIBS as a rapid, sensitive, and minimally invasive technique for monitoring environmental pollutants in industrial materials, emphasizing concerns about toxin levels in leather products and their compliance with safety regulations.

Please stop making fun of the victims (the animals, who get skinned & often while still alive) by making fun of the alternatives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNQgcBUGD3g Also, the tanning process required for "real leather" is devastating for the environment & the humans, who have to do it.
