Business News Agency July 20th News Compared with the food industry, the apparel industry also has problems with additives, but it has not received sufficient attention.
The hazards of clothing additives are not less harmful than food additives. Starting from last year, reports of “ditch oil†have continued to appear in networks and newspapers, and people have begun to re-examine the edible oils essential for three meals a day. This year, the “plasticizer†turmoil is even more daunting. What products have added excessive amounts of additives? The provisions of all relevant food additives by the relevant state agencies are still unknown, and people are not at all in the slightest. Just as Dou Wentao said in "The Three Lines of Three Men," "I suddenly discovered that we were eating plastic every day."
In fact, not only do we have additives in foods, but we also have additives on clothes we wear every day. This should attract sufficient attention.
Many well-known clothing brands, including ZARA, Marlboro, Hushbuh, H&M, have been trapped in “quality doors†one after another. After testing, the safety indicators such as pH value and color fastness of certain brands of these brands are unsatisfactory, posing potential health ** to the wearer. Clothing is our second layer of skin. We are in close contact with us every day. Its safety and food are almost as important. However, most people only pay attention to the fabrics, styles, and workmanship of clothes when they buy clothes, but the most critical security has often become the most easily overlooked. pH, formaldehyde content, toxic aromatic amines are currently the three "killers" that may be hidden in clothing.
Formaldehyde is a kind of dyeing auxiliaries quite favored by garment manufacturers because it can act as a wrinkle-free, shrink-proof, flame-retardant, and can maintain the durability of printing and dyeing. Pure cotton textiles, bright colors, large-area prints, and clothes that are known as “ironless†often also contain formaldehyde. Formaldehyde will gradually release during the process of wearing. When the amount of formaldehyde released to the skin exceeds a certain limit, it may cause respiratory and skin inflammation. Formaldehyde is also an allergen that can cause skin allergies, bronchitis, weaken immunity, impair liver and lung function, and even induce cancer.
Although the country has relevant regulations, suits and other clothing should be marked on the clothing content of formaldehyde, but at present most of the clothing manufacturers can not do. Clothing, like our skin, also has pH. The pH of human skin is between 5.5 and 7.0, and it is weakly acidic. This acidic substance can form a natural barrier on the skin surface, which can inhibit the growth and reproduction of certain pathogenic bacteria and protect the human body from infection. The ideal pH value of the clothes should be close to the pH of the human skin. The pH is too low or too high to be good. Prolonged exposure to clothing with a pH value exceeding the standard can cause the weak acid environment on the skin to lose its balance, breed bacteria, and even cause skin infections.
If you don't trust or have no tag on your clothes, it's best to wash your clothes with a neutral soap before you wear it for the first time. This will effectively correct the pH of your clothes.
The azo dye itself does not have any direct carcinogenic effect on humans, but in the long-term contact with the skin, it will be transferred from the textile to the human skin, and under the action of human secretions, a reductive decomposition reaction occurs, releasing the carcinogenicity The aromatic amine compounds, which are absorbed by the body, can cause human DNA to change and become a predisposing factor for human body lesions.
Aromatic amine compounds are colorless and odorless, and can only be detected by professional techniques. Consumers find it difficult to find. In addition to selecting the garments marked with the National Compulsory Compulsory Standard GB18401-2003 on the label, there is also a small trick: try to choose clothes that are close to the natural fiber colors, and do not buy colorful clothing, especially the red and purple. clothes.
Bright colors always make people look bright. However, behind this gorgeous may contain cancer-causing dangers. Wearing a beautiful dress does not mean wearing a healthy and safe clothing. Recently, one of the consumers called the quality inspection department and said that the clothes she bought in March last year still have an odor and asked whether the odor is harmful to the body. Is it related to banned azo dyes? The woman said that last year she bought a knitted garment worth 205 yuan at a shopping mall in Chengdu. On the first day, the colleague in the unit said that she had a strange smell. When she got home from work, she immediately took off her clothes and washed it with laundry detergent. She also got sun under the sun the next day. I didn't realize that the smell of the clothes was still there. So she hung this dress in the closet for more than a year. She recently took the clothes out of the closet and was ready to wear. The smell was still thick.
According to industry insiders, the reason why textile companies use a large number of aromatic amine dyes, in addition to low prices, but also because of this dye color is complete, strong coloring, color lasting, high color fastness. The decomposable aromatic amine dyes are not only insoluble in water but also cannot be distinguished from the appearance of textiles. They have only been found through technical inspection and cannot be eliminated. In fact, formaldehyde content, excessive pH, and insufficient color fastness are common problems in the clothing inspection process. The violation of the clothing containing carcinogenic aromatic amine dyes is particularly serious.
According to relevant persons from the Sichuan Provincial Quality Inspection Bureau, consumers generally pay attention to the work of their clothes when they buy clothes, and they are not sophisticated, but there is no smell of clothing will be ignored. Some odor-absorbing clothes contain chemicals. For example, textiles use azo dyes containing carcinogenic aromatic amines. In long-term contact with the human body, the dyes may be absorbed and diffused by the skin, causing lesions in the body and inducing cancer. The paint-printing fabric can leave the smell of kerosene, and the resin-finished textiles can give off a fishy smell, and some coated fabrics can leave a strange smell of various solvents. There are clothes with high formaldehyde content, formaldehyde will be gradually released, there will be a strong stimulation of the human respiratory mucosa and skin, light skin allergies will occur, there is skin irritation, itching, etc., severe cases of bronchitis will occur. Some dyes that are peracid or alkaline are also harmful to humans. The skin of the human body is neutral or weakly acidic. If the PH value in textiles is too high or too low, it will destroy the balance and resistance of the skin, causing skin allergies or inducing infections. Due to poor color fastness, the dye on the garment may dissolve into sweat or be transferred to the skin by friction during exercise. After being dyed with carcinogenic dyes, they are colorless and odorless, and consumers simply cannot identify them.
On the issue of carcinogenicity of azo dyes, the reporter visited some clothing wholesale markets and some brand clothing stores. Not only did the salesperson and the clothing store owner not know the problem of carcinogenicity of azo dyes, and most consumers never realized that they wanted to buy clothes. To see if it contains toxic substances, it will not require businesses to provide proof of product quality inspection.
In a middle and low-end women's clothing stall in a clothing wholesale market, when reporters proposed that the azo dyes cause cancer and provide relevant testimonials, the shop owner stated that no customer had ever mentioned proof of textile safety, and here's It is impossible for thousands of clothing stores to provide customers with inspection certificates. In some clothing brand stores, the salesperson of a clothing counter stated that since these garments were provided by the company, they were only responsible for the sale, and it was unclear what kind of dyes and related inspection certificates were used for dyeing. The reporter found that among the dazzling array of clothing, only a small number of clothing such as ladies' houses were tagged with data relating to clothing safety such as clothing safety level or formaldehyde content.
