Multi Brand Swimwear Was Detected In German Market.

< p > environmental protection organization "Greenpeace" found that 3/5 of the tested products contained toxic substances perfluorinated compounds (PFC), and 4/5 of the tested products contained toxic substances, alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (APE), in a sample survey of four brands sold in Germany.

This investigation has sounded the quality alarm bell for German clothing.

< p > Greenpeace group conducted a sampling test on three men's swimming trunks of Nike, Puma and Kim lake, Germany (Chiemsee), a Nike swimsuit and a Adidas child "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "swimsuit" < /a >. The results showed that the swimsuit containing Adidas, Puma and Puma contained toxic chemicals and contained harmful substances perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in the children's swimsuit.

< /p >

< p > because the EU has not yet issued legal provisions for the use of PFOA, it can only be evaluated according to the standard of perfluorooctylsulfonic acid (PFOS).

According to this standard, PFOA in Adidas swimsuit is over five times the standard, Nike < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/pioneer/" > men's swimming trunks < /a > slightly exceeded, Puma men's swimming trunks are not over standard, German Kim Lake men's swimming trunks do not contain PFC.

< /p >

< p > for media queries, only Puma and Kim, Germany, responded to the two manufacturers.

Puma expressed surprise at the results of Greenpeace detection, and contacted the manufacturers in time, but they said there was no substance PFC on the product instructions signed with the manufacturers.

Kim, head of the brand in Germany, said the brand has always adhered to EU chemicals regulations, which can alarm them and will further refine the safety test of the product in the future.

< p > for this reason, Greenpeace tissue chemistry expert < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/pioneer/" > Manfield Sanger /a Manfred (Manfred Santen) said that textile manufacturers must ensure that their products do not contain such chemicals.

< p > ammonium perfluorooctanoate is a synthetic chemical which is usually used as a processing aid in the production of high energy fluoropolymer.

These high performance fluoropolymer can be widely used in aviation technology, pportation, electronics industry, and kitchen utensils.

Due to its toxic effects on the environment and human body, restrictions on the products are required.

< p > ammonium perfluorooctanoate is one of the most difficult organic pollutants to be known. It has high bioaccumulation and toxicity. It will not only cause respiratory problems, but also lead to the death of newborn babies. The global pollution caused by perfluorooctanoic acid is attracting more and more attention.

When it decomposes, it will be released in the environment or human body.

< p > December 2002, at the joint meeting of the thirty-fourth chemical committees held by the OECD, it was defined as a substance that persists in the environment, has biological savings and is harmful to human beings.
