Hongkong Tested 28 Children'S Rubber Shoes To Detect Carcinogens.

< p > Hongkong environmental protection organization Greenpeace recently said that in May and June last year, 82 infants and young children's clothing and shoes were tested in 25 countries and regions in the world. 4 of them were purchased from Hongkong local children's clothes and shoes. All of them were found to be "a href=" http:// www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp "_xhe_href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp "> toxic substances < /a > chemicals, including a pair of children's shoes (Adidas), including perfluorinated chemicals and organotin.

The Disney and Burberry (Burberry) children's coat, all contain harmful substances antimony, Burberry coat, also left nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE), another GAP T-shirt contains chemical residual plasticizer.

More than 90% of children's clothing samples with ironing prints were tested for toxic chemicals that affect reproductive and immune systems.

P, a spokesman for Greenpeace who is responsible for the survey, said that the international standard of toxic substances on clothing had not been established. However, because NPE and perfluorochemicals may affect reproductive and immune systems, if children are exposed for long periods of time, they may affect their development and reproductive functions, while organotin can be harmful to the nervous system, and antimony is carcinogenic.

< p > investigative agency recommends that parents choose to wear clothes with bright colors and less than a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" _xhe_href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" and "plastic ironing" /a when choosing clothes for their children. At the same time, it also calls on the Hongkong authorities to legislate to control the chemicals concerned, and service producers should also commit themselves to cleaner production.

< p > the Hongkong Consumer Council recently sampled 28 children's rubber shoes. The survey results released yesterday showed that up to 75% (21) samples of children's shoes contained plasticizers, of which 3 contained more than 2 carcinogenic substances.

< /p >

< p > it is reported that the 28 rubber shoes sampled by the Consumer Council include light shoes, household slippers and rain boots. The selling price ranges from 20 to 500 Hong Kong dollars. 21 of the tests contain plasticizers. Among them, 14 a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" _xhe_href = "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > plasticizer < /a > the content exceeds the upper limit stipulated by Turkey and the United States, of which 12 plasticizer content is as high as 15%-43%.

< /p >

< p > at the same time, when testing the PAH content of carcinogens in shoes, it was found that 4 Chinese made rubber shoes carcinogens exceeded the German standard, and 3 of them also detected 1 other carcinogens, benzo [a] pyrene BAP.

< /p >

< p > the Consumer Council said that the study found that these harmful substances may stimulate the skin of children, resulting in < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" _xhe_href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > peeling < /a >, prolonged contact with chance to lead to skin cancer.

At the same time, it may be through the hands of children to contact the upper part of the body after oral intake, and plasticizer particles will also adhere to the dust on the home, inhaling the human body.

The spokesman said that although Hongkong had no upper limit on plasticizer content of children's shoes, the study found that long-term uptake of plasticizer could damage liver and kidney, and also affect reproduction and development. At the same time, plasticizer particles also increased the chance of asthma or sensitivity.

< /p >

< p > therefore, the Consumer Council recommends that parents should wear socks for children when they wear rubber shoes, so as to reduce the chance of skin contact.

When choosing shoes for children, you should also avoid buying models that distribute less than a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" _xhe_href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_x.asp" > odors less than /a or fragrance.
