Industry exposing black

Using "black heart cotton" is an open secret.

In March 26th, Kahn, manager of Xinxiang Kate Auto Accessories Co., Ltd., telephoned to our newspaper, said, "a few years ago, we discovered that many of the use of" black heart cotton "or black heart recycled plastic in the hand woven automobile cushion industry is now exposed. This is undoubtedly a good thing for the owners and passengers of the whole country.

According to Li Xiaotong, in order to investigate the automobile cushion Market, he visited Shandong, Yanggu, Heilongjiang, Lanxi, Tiantai county and other main producing areas, and found that the use of "black heart cotton" to make hand woven cushion is an open secret in the industry. "Slightly larger enterprises use white cotton yarn price of about 7000 yuan per ton, and black cotton yarn price is 3000 yuan per ton, we use pure cotton yarn per ton of more than 20 thousand yuan. Because of the high cost, there are very few enterprises that use pure cotton thread as core. " Li Xiaotong told reporters, "some enterprises use recycled plastic as core, the price per ton is only 1000 yuan. This recycled plastic is made of waste plastic, fragile as paper, easy to break, powdered at high temperature, and more harmful to human body. "

It also allows businessmen to provide raw materials for woven cushion, pure cotton yarn is beige, and self ignited after ignition.

Health experts

It is more dangerous than air pollution inside cars.

"Black heart cotton" cushion is more dangerous than the air pollution inside the vehicle. In March 26th, Ding Xinmin, deputy chief physician of respiratory department of Navy General Hospital, said in an interview with reporters, "black heart cotton" cushion will produce dust and bacteria in the process of use, forming inhalable particles, which will cause long-term harm to human lungs and skin. "Unlike the air pollution inside the vehicle, the inhalable particulate matter formed by" black heart cotton "can not be seen or heard, which is a long-term hidden danger to the passengers inside the vehicle. Ding Xinmin further explained that "black heart cotton" volatilized inhalable particulates diameter is about 3-6 microns, through the respiratory tract into the lungs, the short-term symptoms of its hazards are cough and asthma, long-term inhalation will cause severe respiratory diseases, treatment is more complex. The bacteria attached to the "black heart cotton" will also cause allergic reactions to the skin after touching the human skin. The black heart cotton cushion, which is chemically bleached, also volatiles benzene. Therefore, the use of such car cushion will form two types of hazards: inhalable particulate matter and air chemical pollution.

Song Guangsheng, director of the national indoor environment and indoor environmental protection product quality supervision and inspection center, said that "black heart cotton" is short staple cotton, and it is easy to absorb moisture and dust in the air. fibre Silk will encapsulate the black core cotton core and form a closed environment, which is more conducive to the breeding of bacteria, not only will cause inhalable particulate pollution, but also produce mold pollution. After opening the air conditioning system, these microbiological pollution will further harm the respiratory system of the human body in the enclosed car. "At present, there are no relevant hygienic standards for automobile cushion products in China. With the increasing number of cars, relevant departments should introduce relevant industry standards as soon as possible." Song Guangsheng said.

Before the press release, he was informed that the Yanggu County of Shandong province ordered to temporarily shut down all hand woven cushion manufacturers in the area. This newspaper will continue to report on this incident.
