Chemical Composition Into Clothing Safety And Health Risks

Clothing may contain toxic ingredients and pose a serious threat to human health. Is there a basis for this statement? It has become a topic of concern recently.

Health hazards through skin contact

The so-called "poison" in poisonous clothing mainly refers to some poisonous and harmful dyes used in garment production. Some of the chemical components contained in it may cause adverse effects on human body and even cause cancer in severe cases.

Liu Dingyi, director of Oncology Department of Chengdu Cancer Hospital, told reporters that some poisonous and harmful dyes existing in clothing can be absorbed by human skin through long-term contact with human body. These substances may decompose carcinogenic substances under normal biochemical reaction conditions of human body, which can cause gene mutation and cause the pathological changes and cancer of human body. "Besides harmful skin contact and absorption, these harmful substances can also enter the body through the respiratory tract and cause adverse effects on the human body."

Liu Dingyi believes that clothing and human contact is very close, and food and water are closely related to people's lives, so we need to pay more attention to it, to be nice and comfortable, but also to be safe and healthy.

Watch out for carcinogenic substances, aromatic amines.

When it comes to toxic and harmful clothing dyes, decomposing aromatic amines is a must be mentioned. It is used by some informal textile and garment manufacturers because of its diverse colors, simple production and low price.

Decomposable aromatic amine is a carcinogenic substance which is more toxic than formaldehyde. It is colorless and tasteless, and is insoluble in water.

A clothing salesman told reporters, "some of the inexpensive, colorful gardresses and casual wear that have been introduced through informal channels are used by many people. So when people buy them, they must be careful. Don't buy them for the sake of cheap pictures."

In addition, according to the reporter's understanding, since the implementation of the national basic safety technical specification for textile products in January 1, 2005, it has been clearly stated that the use of carcinogenic aromatic amines can not be used in clothing production to prevent the threat of toxic dyes to children's body.

Citizen view

Clothes design is also possible.

Potential safety hazard

In addition to toxic and harmful dyes, there are still some people call that clothes in the design and use of links may also have security risks, consumers should be vigilant.

Mr. Yang said that not long ago, he saw on television that a brand of children's clothes abroad had a problem because of the design of the rope, which resulted in an accident of the neck of the child. Therefore, I recall that, in the meantime, the designer should pay more attention to the design.

Now many children's wear rope and metal materials, which may cause security risks.

He believes that the relevant departments should strictly supervise the safety and scientificity of clothing design while strictly controlling the material and technology, so as not to cause trouble to come out of clothes. "No matter it is visible or invisible, we hope that the relevant departments can attach importance to it and let consumers buy it."
