Adidas Nike Brand Poison Children's Wear

it is understood that children's reports of toxic residues in children's clothing brands include Burberry (Burberry), Adidas (Adidas), Nike (Nike), H&M, Primark and 12 famous international brands such as UNIQLO (Uniqlo). 
 "fabric and printing and dyeing are the most likely problems." Hubei province < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > textile < /a > Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Xiao Danlai told reporters. Many a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > clothing < /a > the industry also confirmed this statement to reporters. 
 in fact, the toxic substances such as nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE) and o-phthalic acid two (Phthalates) detected in the survey report are not covered by the mandatory national standards currently applicable to infants and children's textile products. 
 the detection value of multi brand toxic substances is beyond the limit .
 January 14th, a foreign environmental protection organization released the report on "Tong Liu He pollution - global brand children's clothing toxic and hazardous substances residue survey". The report shows that 12 well-known brands of children's clothing generally contain toxic and harmful substances. 
During the month of May 2013 P -6, the above organizations purchased 82 children and infants in the 25 countries and regions of the world, < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > dress > /a > samples, all samples were purchased in the stores of the brand and the stores authorized by the brand. The brands tested include Burberry (Burberry), Adidas (Adidas), Nike (Nike), Puma (Puma), Lining (Li Ning), Disney (Disney), AmericaApparel, C&A, GAP, H&M, GAP and UNIQLO (E). The origin of the sample involves 12 different countries: China, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Philippines, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Vietnam and the United States. 
 survey report shows that NPE is an important detection target with a detection limit of 1 mg / kg. Of the above samples, 61% of the samples were detected, and 12 of the brands involved in the test had at least one sample of children's clothing and were detected NPE residues. Of the 82 samples of children's clothing, 50 samples were found to contain NPE, ranging from 1.2 mg / kg to 17000 mg / kg. 
 there are 3 samples of NPE residues exceeding 1000 mg / kg, including Disney's children's skirt (TX13040) (3900 mg / kg); C&A's < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes < /a > (TX13030) (17000 mg / kg), and the baby's conjoined jacket (L) (2000 mg / kg). In addition, Burberry's T-shirt (TX13025) also detected NPE residues of 780 mg / kg. 
 it is understood that NPE is an artificial chemical substance and is widely used in textile production. When NPE is released into the environment, it will degrade into another more toxic environmental pollutant, nonylphenol (NP). NP is an environmental hormone with persistence and bioaccumulation, and has strong toxicity to aquatic organisms. It will disrupt the endocrine system of animals, cause the feminization of male animals and the hormonal imbalance of female animals. 
Guan Yuanyuan, director of the Chinese Media Department of the environmental protection organization, who issued the investigation report, told reporters that there were three reports on the toxic residues in children's clothing, P. The first two reports investigated the toxic residues of children's products in Zhili and Shishi Fung Li children's clothing in Huzhou, Zhejiang, and the emission of toxic substances in the printing and dyeing enterprises in Shishi, Fujian. "Tong Liu He pollution - global brand children's clothing toxic and hazardous substances residues survey" is the latest issue. 
 the report calls on the government and enterprises to manage the entire life cycle of chemical substances from the source, and formulate sound policies and regulations to eliminate toxic and hazardous substances from the source. 
When interviewed by P, a clothing industry expert expressed different views. "Many raw materials are difficult to be completely banned in the short term, and the replacement costs are also too high. At present, it is more feasible to formulate relevant enforcement standards. " 
 fabric, printing and dyeing suspected source of toxic substance .
 "fabric and printing and dyeing are the most likely problems." Xiao Danlai, Deputy Secretary General of Hubei Textile Industry Association, told reporters. 
Li Xiao, who has been engaged in garment industry in Guangzhou for a long time, told reporters that the production of ordinary clothes is mainly tailoring and processing of fabrics. P is unlikely to be a problem. If clothes detect toxic substances, the problem is on fabrics and printing and dyeing. "More than 70% of Guangzhou's fabrics are from Zhejiang." 
P, a printing and dyeing industry in Zhejiang, told reporters that NPE or NPEO is a commonly used surfactant, which is widely used in detergent, textile, pesticide, coatings, paper and other industries. This material is not produced in garment production, nor in fabric production, but in dyeing auxiliaries. The production process of textile and clothing involves more links, from raw materials such as cotton to yarn, fabric, printing and dyeing, until processing to clothing, in the middle of more than ten links, each link may cause pollution, because there is a large number of chemical additives to be added. Substitutes such as dyeing auxiliaries have long appeared, but some chemical enterprises are still using them to reduce costs. 
 "there are different standards for the use of chemical auxiliaries in different factories. ADI, Nike and other large companies have their own quality control. Our factory can only produce high imitation products. Li Xiao said. 
 in fact, printing and dyeing enterprises will also bring serious environmental pollution. 
 according to the investigation report released by the environmental protection organization in January 7th, "Tong Liu He pollution 2 - Shishi Wu Bao Industrial Zone Control Zone printing and dyeing enterprise toxic and hazardous substances emissions" shows that there are several black sewage polluted zones in the offshore area of Shishi Fort Fujian industrial control area, covering an area of about 62500 square meters, which exceeds the sum of 50 Olympic standard pools. 
 all the sewage from 19 printing and dyeing enterprises in Shishi Industrial Park control area is concentrated by Haitian sewage treatment plant. The final effluent is discharged into the South China Sea through a 2.4 km deep sea sewage pipe. The toxic substances such as nonylphenol, Chloroaniline and antimony were detected in the wastewater of printing and dyeing enterprises. 
(P) in the face of pollution problems, large brand suppliers have begun to disclose information on each chemical to the public. So far, 18 well-known brands including Adidas, Nike and Lining have pledged to achieve zero emissions of toxic and hazardous substances by January 2020. 
 including the parent company Fast Retailing of UNIQLO, Zara's parent company Inditex, H&M, Benetton Benetton, Valentino Valentino, G-Star, Marsha general store M&S, Vitoria's Secret parent company LimitedBrands, Puma, Puma, Ltd., X. and H. The number of factories currently open has reached 80. {page_break} 

 domestic industry standard is missing .
At present, China has not yet issued a list of specific hazardous chemicals that the industry needs to eliminate from the P. The state textile, clothing and apparel product quality supervision and inspection center related personage told reporters that the number of toxic substances mentioned in the report is not covered by the mandatory enforcement standards formulated by the state. Compared with EU standards, a list of specific toxic dangerous chemicals has not been set up in China. 
 "it is impossible to achieve zero emissions of toxic substances entirely relying on enterprise self-discipline." The printing and dyeing industry said. 
 it is understood that China is the world's largest manufacturer of textile products, and consumes 42% of the world's textile chemicals in the world, and 35% of the samples are produced in China (29). The detection rate of toxic and harmful substances is as high as 96.6%. 
 Greenpeace said that the government has the responsibility to establish a sound chemical management mechanism. A blacklist of toxic and hazardous substances should be updated and updated regularly in accordance with the registration of chemicals. Preventive principles shall be formulated to restrict or prohibit the use of harmful substances, and to collect and disclose the information of pollutant discharge. The government has the responsibility to control the entire life cycle of chemicals in order to accelerate the replacement and elimination of toxic and hazardous substances. 
 China's implementation of hazardous chemicals management is not fast. In fact, it was not until 2009 that the Ministry of environmental protection set up a chemical management office. In recent years, the Ministry of environmental protection promulgated the "12th Five-Year plan" for chemical environmental risk management and control, and the first environmental regulation for hazardous and hazardous substances - "registration of dangerous chemicals environmental management". Its supporting document, "list of dangerous chemicals for key environmental management", will be published. The catalogue breaks the situation of China's regulation of flammable and explosive chemicals in the past, and takes into consideration the chemicals that have long-term hazards to the environment and human health, such as endocrine disrupting substances. 
 but compared with the SVHC of EU REACH regulations, China still lacks clear mechanism for updating catalogue of chemicals and will eventually eliminate these toxic and harmful substances. 
 at present, the existing system of chemical environmental management in China mainly includes the registration of import and export of toxic chemicals and the registration of new chemical substances environmental management. However, there is a lack of regulations on the environmental management, release and transfer control of hazardous chemicals, and management of key environmental risk sources, and lack of measures to restrict the production and use of chemicals that are highly toxic, difficult to degrade, and highly harmful to the environment. 
 in addition, in the existing legislation for children, although some of the existing legislation has been based on the protection of children's health and the formulation of stricter standards for related products, it is still not perfect. For example, o-phthalate two is prohibited for the production of toys and child care products, but has not been banned for the production of children's clothing. In addition, the limit of chemical residues for children is not the lowest value that technology can achieve. 
 it is understood that the Ministry of industry and commerce is trying to separate a standard system related to consumer safety. The catalogue of dangerous chemicals for key environmental management is also being drawn up by the State Administration of work safety. This is considered by the industry to be a key step for China to move towards the environmental management of chemicals system and eventually eliminate hazardous chemicals.
