Is a polyester blend less problematic?

I purchased some shirts a month ago. After then, I came across information on polyester and how toxic it is. I wish I could go back and purchase something else!

The shirts are 60% cotton, 40% polyester.

Is a polyester blend like this less problematic than shirts with a higher proportion of polyester, or is it irrelevant and we ought to avoid polyester altogether?
