Denim is an important subset of the world textile industry. This study aims to explore the possible health impacts as well as the environmental risks caused by different processes of denim production. The present study deals with wide-ranging consequences related to the chemical processes involved in denim manufacturing, including the overconsumption of water, destruction of natural habitats, pollution, and adverse health effects on workers. It also deals with the pollution created during various steps of denim production and the subsequent carbon emissions released into the environment. This study investigated the health effects of chemicals used at different stages of denim production on workers and residents in the vicinity. This study analysed published works and literature to highlight the lack of attention given to sustainable practices in the denim industry. It also deals with the negative consequences of production of denim on the environment.
