3.15 Black List Of Children'S Clothing, Potentially Harmful

According to experts, according to the national mandatory technical standards, the indicators of clothing testing mainly include pH value, formaldehyde content, azo dyes, color fastness, fiber content, translocation, etc. Why do clothes contain dangerous ingredients?

It is understood that there are two sources of clothing pollution: one is the use of pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, etc. to control diseases and pests during the cultivation of clothing materials. If these toxic and harmful substances are left on clothing, they will cause skin allergy, respiratory diseases or other toxic reactions. Second, in the process of processing and manufacturing, a variety of chemical substances such as oxidants, catalysts, flame retardants, whitening fluorescent agents are used. These harmful substances remain on textiles, making clothing polluted again. Formaldehyde containing chemicals will also be used in the later shaping process of ready-made clothes, which will also pollute the clothes. It is inevitable that some chemicals will be used in the process of garment manufacturing. Once the treatment is not good, the content of these chemicals remaining on textiles exceeds a certain standard, if directly contacting the skin, it will cause harm to human health, and some of the incubation period is still very long.

1、 Decomposable aromatic amine dyes exceed the standard

The dye can cause cancer. Decomposable aromatic amine dyes are toxic and harmful to human body. In long-term contact with human body, if the dyes are absorbed by skin, they will diffuse in human body and cause human lesions. It is prohibited according to the National Technical Code for Basic Safety of Textile Commodities. Some commodities have forbidden decomposable aromatic amine dyes on pigment printing. The maximum amount of decomposable aromatic amine dyes detected in some commodities is 210mg/kg, exceeding the detection limit by more than 10 times.

The dye is colorless and tasteless, and can't be washed away

According to the relevant person in charge of the Guangzhou Textile Fiber Inspection Institute of the National Textile and Clothing Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, long-term contact of decomposable aromatic amine dyes with human body will lead to canceration of human cells, which will cause bladder cancer and ureteral cancer. According to previous cases, The workers who had worked in the textile factory using the dye for a long time suffered from the same cancer.

More worrisome is that the dye is colorless and tasteless, which cannot be felt through human sensory organs. Once the clothing contains the dye, its harm cannot be mitigated by washing or other means.

2、 Excessive formaldehyde

Infants with excessive formaldehyde intake are prone to malformation

Formaldehyde is very harmful to human body. Formaldehyde can enter human body through diet, breathing or skin contact. Long term low concentration formaldehyde intake can cause anorexia, weight loss, weakness, insomnia and other symptoms. The toxicity to infants is manifested in asthma, tracheitis, chromosome abnormalities, and decreased resistance. Especially when children are exposed to too much formaldehyde in infancy, it will lead to deformity.

Some textile commodities use additives containing formaldehyde in the finishing production process, resulting in excessive formaldehyde content.

3、 PH value unqualified

Unqualified pH value damages skin resistance

According to the national standard, the pH value of infant textiles and textiles in direct contact with skin should be between 4.0 and 7.5. The human skin is weakly acidic to prevent the invasion of bacteria. Therefore, the pH value (acid-base) of textiles is between slightly acidic and neutral, which is conducive to human protection. If the pH value in textiles is too high or too low, it will destroy the balance and resistance of the skin, thus causing skin allergy or inducing infection, making the skin vulnerable to other bacteria. More than 50% of children's clothing cannot meet the pH requirements in this test.

4、 There is a problem with the label

Commodity identification is a tool for producers and distributors to convey and identify commodities to consumers (users), understand the performance of commodities and how to use commodities correctly and safely. It is also an information bridge for producers and distributors to convey commodity information and explain relevant issues. The content of the standard requirements must be clearly stated. The commodity producers and distributors have vague understanding of these requirements and little understanding of the marking requirements, which results in errors of intentional or unintentional omission or deviation of the standard. Most manufacturers do not have strong brand awareness.

Main performance:

Fiber composition: raw material composition content is not marked. The quality of commodity raw material composition is one of the important factors that determine the value of commodities. Mislabeling or mislabeling of the content of ingredients will mislead and deceive consumers, and directly damage the interests of consumers.

5、 Buy safe children's clothes

First, look at the product logo, including the tag and the durable label on the clothes. The tag shall be marked with trademark, Chinese factory name, factory address, commodity name, commodity executive standard number, commodity quality grade, safety technology category, etc. The durable label shall be marked with size, specification, fiber content, washing method, etc. At the same time, check the names and addresses of producers and sellers.

Secondly, it depends on the quality of the goods. Generally, the quality of clothing is divided into excellent products, first-class products and qualified products. The superior products are naturally superior to the first-class products or qualified products in quality.

Third, pay attention to the raw materials of clothing. The first choice is pure cotton fabrics, such as ordinary cotton or natural colored cotton products, which are soft and breathable. In particular, underwear in contact with skin should be mainly made of pure cotton, and chemical fiber products should not be used, which is beneficial to children's health.
