Experts: Unqualified Children'S Clothing Is Harmful.

It is understood that clothing pollution has two sources: first, in the process of planting raw materials, in order to control pests and diseases, use pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides, etc., if these toxic and harmful substances remain on clothing, they will cause skin allergies, respiratory diseases or other toxic reactions. Two, in the process of manufacturing, a variety of harmful chemicals such as oxidants, catalysts, flame retardants, whitening fluorescent agents and so on should be left on textiles. clothing Once again polluted.

In the later stage of plastic finishing, the chemical substances containing formaldehyde will also be used to cause pollution to clothing.

Formaldehyde content is an index that has great influence on human health. When clothing is produced, it will add formaldehyde to auxiliaries in order to achieve the functions of crease prevention, shrinkproof, flame retardancy, or to maintain the durability of printing and dyeing or to improve the handle. When the residual formaldehyde is not processed, clothing will be released gradually during the wearing process. It will combine with human sweat or hydrolyze to produce free formaldehyde, which will cause strong irritation to respiratory tract mucosa, eyes and skin, causing dizziness, airway inflammation and skin inflammation, which can lead to hematological diseases and even cancer.

Because children's resistance is weak, formaldehyde is more harmful to their health.

The AQSIQ has warned about the unqualified pH value, which is easy to stimulate the skin of children and cause skin diseases. The main reason why pH value is not qualified is that a large number of acid-base substances have been used in dyeing and finishing process, and no reasonable neutralization treatment has been taken. Technology 。 If the pH value of clothing is high or low, it will directly damage the balance mechanism of human skin and weaken the skin's ability to resist the invasion of germs, which may cause skin allergies, itching, redness and swelling, and even trigger irritant dermatitis and contact dermatitis. Child health The harm is even greater.

How do experts choose clothing?

How can parents judge and carefully choose safer products for such a special group of children?

"First of all, we need to look at the tag tag of clothing," Guo Wensong said. Consumers must have a certain understanding of the mandatory national standard. If the tagging of the tag does not conform to the norms, then the initial judgment can not be purchased.

Secondly, pay special attention to the special odors emitted from some textile products, such as mildew, gasoline and kerosene, fishy smell, especially those newly opened, indicating that there are excessive chemical residues on the textiles.

In addition, we buy new clothes, especially direct contact with the skin, regardless of the price, should first wash and wear, and then in the sun drying, assuming that the pH value exceeds the standard, cleaning will be very helpful.

"If consumers have doubts about the quality of infant clothing, they may also require a business or an enterprise to produce a product qualification report," Guo Wensong said.
