8 Attentions To Avoid Carcinogenic Substances

Clothing, food and shelter, clothing is the first priority.

It's hard for people to put

It is associated with the word "harm".

In fact, toxic clothing does no harm to human beings than toxic food.

The opportunity to stay in a garment can be seen everywhere from the shaping of clothing to the production of garments.

We sometimes encounter many problems in shopping, for example.

Odour and pungent smell, you can't help worrying about what is the big smell of the clothes. Are these scents harmful to health?

zhongyuan university of technology

Professor Zhu Zhengfeng, vice president of the Institute, said that the smell of clothes mainly came from the production process of fabrics, pollution during clothing processing, improper storage and so on.

However, every industrialized garment produces many kinds of chemicals, such as toluene, styrene, vinyl cyclohexane, phenyl cyclohexane, butadiene, vinyl chloride, aromatic hydrocarbon, organic volatile matter and so on in textile printing, coating and chemical finishing.

The odors produced by these substances are different. Consumers can identify the source of odors by odor types:

Clothing with a strong acid may be the problem of dyed cloth and printed cloth. The pigment printing fabric may remain some smell of kerosene, and the smell of fishy smell of clothes must be made of resin finishing textiles, and some chemicals taste is not easy to identify the strange smell.

If, as Ms. Yang's seller said, the clothes stored in the warehouse are not properly stored, they may only have some musty smell. If there are other odors, the reason should be dyeing and defects.

Zhu Zhengfeng explained that the chemical substances in clothing production have the following hazards to human body:

The first is a slight skin allergy.

Some dyestuffs which are oversaturated with acid or alkali are harmful to the human body. The skin of the human body is neutral or weak acidic. If the pH value is too high or too low, the skin's balance and resistance will be destroyed, causing allergy or inducing infection.

What is more serious is that

。

Formaldehyde is relatively high in clothing, formaldehyde will gradually release, it will stimulate the skin and skin of human respiratory tract, light will cause skin allergy, heavy will induce tracheitis and other diseases.

He stressed that the most serious thing is that many people do not understand the carcinogenic substances and environmental hormones on human health.

Carcinogenic substances mainly come from dyes, such as azo dyes. If these dyes are absorbed by the skin, they may react with human secretory substances to form carcinogenic aromatic amines.

There are 118 kinds of banned dyes in the world. Environmental hormone (environmental hormone) is a kind of substance which is extremely harmful to human health and ecological environment. It will seriously disrupt the endocrine and development of human beings and animals and cause abnormal endocrine system.

It is mainly used for preservatives, fungicides, flame retardants, antistatic agents and plasticizers (mainly accessories for clothing, such as buttons, pendants, etc.).

Zhu Zhengfeng reminded that people's nose can only smell more than 4 times the smell of pollution, the greater the smell, the greater the harm, but not necessarily not to smell the body, because some chemicals are odorless.

Therefore, in order to ensure health, it is most important to buy Labels, labels, size labels and labels.

Remove clothes smell. Warm water wash is better than hanging clothes.

Zhu Zhengfeng said that the easiest way to remove clothing odors is to use warm salt water to soak: add a moderate amount of salt to a basin of warm water and stir it evenly. After the salt is dissolved, buy the new clothes into the soak. After 10~20 minutes, rinse it and dry it with clean water.

Or you can hang clothes with peculiar smell in the bathroom after just taking a shower, and close the bathroom door for 6~8 hours.

If there is any smell after soaking, it is best not to wear it.

He also suggested that new clothes, whether they smell or not, especially underwear and infant clothing, should be cleaned before they are worn, because most of the dyes used in printing and dyeing cellulose (cotton, linen and viscose series) are reactive dyes, and reactive dyes and water can be hydrolyzed. Once some dyes and fibers are not chemically reacted, they will form floating colors, that is, we often say that clothes fade, floating colors are absorbed by human skin, and there will also be allergies.

Many people hang clothes in the ventilating place to dry and remove the peculiar smell. This effect is not good, because the volatilization of chemicals is very slow, for example, the volatilization of formaldehyde takes 3~15 years.

Several types of clothing that are easily exceeded

Zhu Zhengfeng finally reminded consumers that when shopping online, especially when choosing baby products and underwear, it is best to choose dyes, less plain dyes (such as pure cotton milky white) and small printed products. It is best to know the labels, labels, size labels and labels of origin of clothing before buying, so that after a comprehensive understanding, clothes will not be purchased for quality problems.

The following categories of clothing generally contain chemicals that are easily exceeded. Consumers must pay attention to:

1. ironing garment, a crosslinking agent (a chemical used for wrinkle proofing of garments) is the main source of free formaldehyde.

2. a pair of jeans with different colors will use formaldehyde in the process of bleaching and dyeing.

3. brightly coloured prints with relatively stiff clothing.

In addition, it is best not to put clothes in the new board furniture, formaldehyde in plate furniture will also pollute the clothing.

8 tips for choosing clothes

1. generally speaking, light coloured clothing is more environmentally friendly than dark ones.

Because light colored clothing is less likely to be contaminated during the production process, especially underwear.

From a healthy point of view, lighter colors should be chosen.

2. when choosing clothing, you can choose no lining.

Suits and so on must have lined products, and can choose non stick lining technology products.

Because the adhesive lining needs glue, and glue usually contains formaldehyde and other solvents.

3. many people like to buy foreign trade clothes, but be careful when buying them. Do not buy products that are returned for environmental reasons.

4. through the certification of green clothing, there is a disposable laser holographic anti fake logo, which can be irradiated by laser pointer, and can see 10 rings at any angle.

5. when you buy clothes, you may as well smell it. There are moldy taste, smell of kerosene, fishy smell, smell of benzene, and other odors. Most of the clothes are too high formaldehyde content and can not be purchased.

6. try not to buy non iron clothes.

Especially those with formaldehyde allergy, they should not wear ironing.

。

7. just buy the ironing clothes, do not immediately hang in the wardrobe, it is best to rinse with water before wearing it, so as to reduce the formaldehyde content in clothing.

8. when wearing new clothing, if skin allergies, such as skin pruritus, contact dermatitis, or mood disorders, eating disorders, continuous cough and other symptoms, we should consider whether clothes discomfort caused by, as soon as possible to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
