An increased ACTH result can mean that a person has Cushing disease, Addison disease, or ectopic ACTH-producing tumors. A decreased ACTH result can be due to an adrenal tumor, steroid medication, or hypopituitarism.
All fabrics will burn, but some are more combustible than others. Untreated natural fibers such as cotton, linen and silk burn more readily than wool, which is more difficult to ignite and burns with a low flame velocity. The weight and weave of the fabric will affect how easily the material will ignite and burn. Fabrics with a tight weave - wool, modacrylic, 100 percent polyester and those that are flame-retardant treated are good choices.
Is 100% cotton a âsafetyâ fabric? NO. While 100% cotton offers better protection than 65/35, cotton fabric can and will ignite and continue to burn if exposed to an ignition source. Can Flame Resistant clothing âloseâ their Flame Resistant properties after many industrial washings? Some can. But UniFirst offers only fabrics that are protective for the life of the garmentâ¦either inherently or via special fiber treatment. In the case of FR treated cotton, certain detergents are harmful to the FR treatment.
