All of the above
💡 Explanation:
Cotton farming, synthetic fiber production, and textile dyeing and finishing are all major contributors to air pollution in the fashion industry. Cotton farming requires large amounts of water and pesticides, which can pollute waterways and contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Synthetic fiber production releases harmful chemicals into the air, and textile dyeing and finishing processes often use toxic dyes and chemicals that can pollute the air and water.
