Shanghai Shopping Center Radiation Protection Clothing Sales Fell 50%

After CCTV exposed the anti radiation clothing scam, it was almost a "one hand".

Reporters interviewed found that since the radiation protection clothing was involved in the storm, the brand of pregnant women sold in Shanghai shopping malls and radiation protection clothing.

Industry experts refute "useless theory"

According to a statement issued yesterday by the Shanghai Association for the prevention of electromagnetic radiation, the association questioned the CCTV broadcast on the results of "non professional use of non professional methods on non professional occasions", and repeatedly stressed that electromagnetic shielding clothing is effective for shielding electromagnetic waves and can not be an electromagnetic wave collector.

Consumers do not have to panic or worry about wearing or wearing electromagnetic radiation suits.

Huang Jianhua, a spokesman for the Shanghai Association for the prevention of electromagnetic radiation, pointed out at the media conference that many research institutes and institutions in China carried out a lot of research on the hazards of electromagnetic radiation, protection and electromagnetic shielding textiles. However, the experiment demonstrated by Chen Feng laboratory was too frivolous, and it was not representative and universal to detect an anti radiation suit.

Lu Fumin, a member of the National Standardization Committee of electromagnetic shielding materials and chief engineer of Shanghai metrology and Testing Technology Research Institute, also said that the role of radiation protection clothing for pregnant women is positive.

"Many brands of radiation protection clothing have been tested against electromagnetic radiation, including sling, vest and so on. It is found that the radiation protection clothing on the market can cover most of the electromagnetic radiation.

Radiation protection clothing is mainly to protect the heart and belly of pregnant mother, and the effect will be weak on the edge. The amount of protection is closely related to the fabric and style.

Standard absentee query

In the CCTV report, Chen Feng laboratory used special experimental setup to measure the reflection of electromagnetic waves entering the shielding clothing, so as to get the result of "no reduction in radiation dose".

Recently, Chen Feng labs has issued numerous blogs to clarify relevant questions, frankly, "the experiment in the program is not rigorous", "there is no standard experimental conclusion".

The industry association also refutes that the experiment is too imprudent and the conclusions drawn from non-standard experiments are not scientific.

Then, is there any standard for radiation protection clothing?

According to Huang Jianhua, there are many standards related to yarn, fabric, testing methods, professional radiation protection clothing and so on. There are several related standards in the compilation.

The association is also organizing experts and enterprises to develop joint standards for civil electromagnetic shielding suits for everyday wear.

However, this statement still can not conceal the embarrassment of the standard of radiation protection clothing.

It is reported that in December 2009, China issued a recommended standard for microwave shielding and protective clothing, but it did not provide a mandatory national standard for the entire radiation protection product.

At present, the standards of radiation protection products on the market are determined by the production enterprises themselves, and the standards set by each enterprise are different.

Gu Hongfeng, a member of the national clothing Standardization Technical Committee, said that at present, the national standard for the detection of radiation protection clothing is still being worked out, and the relevant departments have not quantified the relevant data indicators.

"The standard of radiation protection clothing is being drafted. After drawing up the draft, it is necessary for all parties to demonstrate and discuss. After the agreement is reached, the national examination and approval must be passed before it can be officially released."

Sales of radiation protection clothing in Shanghai are down.

It is not hard to imagine that the storm of the radiation protection clothing has brought serious impact on the whole industry.

There are extreme cases such as pregnant women suing for radiation protection clothing manufacturers, and there is a widespread phenomenon of market sales plummeting.

At five p.m. yesterday, the reporter came to the maternity dress brand counter on the four floor of a shopping mall in the middle of Nanjing road. Although the shopping mall was promoting sales, the counter remained open.

Sales staff told reporters: "every day before radiation protection clothing can sell several pieces, recently sold these two days every day one or two pieces have been very good."

A consumer who came to purchase said that when the radiation protection clothing was not used to the human body or if there were any side effects, it was not for the time being.

According to the data provided by the Department in charge of the market, the sales of a number of anti radiation clothing counters in the market fell nearly 50% in the last two days, and the head of a shopping mall in Pudong also said: "the last period of anti radiation clothing brand sales data fell very badly, and there was no one in the morning."
