NPE: affected by water decomposition, sexual development

According to a paper published in Chinese Journal of environmental science, NPE will rapidly decompose into water. Nonylphenol (NP) NP can mimic estrogen, interfere with the endocrine of organisms, and is toxic to reproductive system. Because of their safety, some countries and regions have banned them for 20 years.

Chang Huaichun, Professor of chemistry at Liaoning University, said in an interview that NPE is a commonly used surfactant and is widely used in detergent, textile, pesticide, coatings, paper and other industries. NPE is a polymer, which is not a dangerous product in itself, but NPE will react to produce NP (Ren Jifen) under certain conditions in the natural environment. It is an endocrine disruptor and carcinogen. It is called environmental hormone, which can affect the sexual development of organisms.

Chang Hui Chun reminded that washing and soaking is limited in removing harmful compounds from new clothes, and washing detergents on clothing may increase new harmful substances.

Therefore, the fundamental solution is to eliminate the use of these harmful substances from the source of production.

"Life is not too". Luxury " Children don't need to wear new clothes every day. Instead, old clothes that are repeatedly washed may be more "clean". Chang Huaichun said that the brightly colored children's clothing used more dyes, and textile dyes may contain aromatic amine. formaldehyde And other harmful substances, so we must choose carefully.
