Children'S Clothing Formaldehyde Exceed Standard Need Vigilance

< p > it is reported that the market scale of children's articles in China has exceeded 100 billion yuan in 2012. Among them, < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > children's wear < /a > the annual growth rate is about 16.7%, the largest increase in children's products in middle age, and the largest share of the total market size.

Statistical data show that in children's disease, the poor children's products accounted for more than 5% of the disease. Especially in children's clothing and infant clothing fabrics, formaldehyde exceeded the standard phenomenon, which became one of the biggest killer of children's health.

< p > because the skin of children is very delicate and tender, the control of harmful material on children's clothing is very strict in foreign countries, especially the content of formaldehyde, which is generally not more than 20 mg per kilogram of children's clothing.

But at present, the importance of children's clothing < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_f.asp" > fabric > /a > to children's physical health has not been widely valued. The existing standard of children's wear mainly stipulates the physical and chemical indexes of children's appearance, type, color difference, intensity and so on.

The control of harmful substances on children's clothing is mainly done by the manufacturers themselves.

This is a good job for big brands, prestige and quality companies, but the situation may not be optimistic for more small workshops aimed at short-term profit making.

Experts pointed out that the harmful substances in textiles are mainly formaldehyde, which mainly exists in the processing, processing and dyeing of pure cotton textiles.

If a child wears a garment made of formaldehyde over the standard textile, it will cause injury to the respiratory and skin, induce respiratory inflammation and dermatosis.

< p >, therefore, before the relevant standards have been issued, parents should improve their discriminating ability. When choosing children's clothing, they should do "one look, two sniffing, three touch, four washing and five views", keep away from toxic fabrics and avoid damage to children's health.

< /p >

< p > see: look at the appearance carefully.

When choosing children's clothing, first check the logo on the clothing, carefully check the logo on the product, the name of the factory in Chinese, the logo, the logo, the washing instructions, the certificate, the execution standard number, the product quality grade and the safety category.

Generally speaking, qualified children's garments should be fully standardized.

Formaldehyde mainly comes from cheap dyes and auxiliaries, so don't buy children's wrinkle resistant clothing, try to choose children's clothing with less pattern, and print on the pattern should not be very hard, and try not to buy bleached children's clothing.

< p > Two: smell.

When opening the package, you can smell it and see if it has any pungent odor.

Some clothes due to additives in the post processing process will cause formaldehyde content and pH value to exceed the standard, resulting in a pungent odor. Some of them may be smells, gasoline and toxic odor due to improper storage or packaging contamination.

< p > Three: check fabric quality.

First, feel the texture of the fabric with touch. Children's clothing fabric should be hygroscopic, breathable and soft. Next, check the fiber content of the clothing, identify the fabric composition, and identify the material of the fabric with the combustion method. Usually, ignite, smell, observe the state of flame and the remnant form. The hair, cashmere and silk have burning hair smell, and cotton and hemp are white or gray ashes after burning; most of the synthetic fibers are hard lumps after burning.

For infants and young children, it is best to choose pure cotton clothing, and the color should be mild and light.

< /p >

< p > Four: after clothes are bought, don't worry about the children. They must be washed. Formaldehyde is easier to dissolve in water. In case of children's clothing, it is best to rinse the children with water.

< /p >

< p > Five: after putting on new clothes for children, such as skin allergy, emotional disturbance, poor diet, continuous cough and other symptoms, we should consider the possibility of formaldehyde poisoning and get to the hospital as soon as possible.
