soon to the 61 International Children's day. Parents are also preparing children's clothing, toys and other products as holiday gifts.

Now, what are the problems when we are shopping for children? Today we are invited to associate professor Gong Yan of Beijing Institute of materials and Zhang Xingyan, lawyer of Beijing Zhong run law firm.

the toxic substances detected were environmental toxicity .

World Cup is coming soon. Especially in summer this season, we need to wear sportswear quite a lot, especially children will be more comfortable, now are exposed to the first-line brand, ADI, Nike out of the question, we are very worried, what kind of substances are toxic, how to define? How big is poison?

Gong Yan: poison is classified. These exposed harmful substances are actually detected in clothing, but this poison is environmental toxicity. It is not what we usually understand, for example, formaldehyde, it is harmful to the body immediately.

The vast majority of environmental toxicity is due to its degradation in the environment, or because of its persistent environmental pollution that leads to some long-lasting changes in ecology or biology.

Like this fluoride, if you touch it with hands, it may not cause much harm to the body, but because this substance is difficult to degrade in the environment for a long time, it accumulating in the organism for a long time will cause some teratogenicity or change to organism's reproduction and heredity. This is a kind of toxicity.

Below P, let's take a look at how these toxic substances are detected.

Just as the world cup products are selling well, sports goods manufacturers are busy testing the report of green peace issued by the international environmental protection organization, which is the key point of brand building. 81% of the World Cup sports commodities purchased in 16 countries and regions in the world, 81% of sports shoes and 35% jerseys are found to contain residual chemicals such as perfluorinated compounds, o-benzoic acid and two formic acid.

Professor Gong also told us that this is a factor in the environment. It does not mean that you may come directly into contact with it, but it will cause poison.

Gong Yan: this toxicity is from biological toxicology. Some of them are highly carcinogenic substances, such as formaldehyde. If you live in such an atmosphere, it will lead to canceration, carcinogenesis and teratogenesis, including sensitization.

This is all very sensitive. After touching this thing, the body will change.

Apart from these, why has the earth been warming for so long and why biodiversity has gradually decreased? The international environmental protection organization has done some research in this area, and it is found that chemical substances are not used in our industrial production.

So this time, we must be sure that the data must be true. But on the other hand, we should not panic at once and think that we will have much harm to everyone. These substances themselves will not hurt immediately even if they touch the skin. But it is to remind entrepreneurs in the industrial sector, and those engaged in this area, that measures should be taken as soon as possible to find alternative chemicals and substances to solve the whole problem.

direct contact injury is not concerned, but there is no need to panic.

the specific data are collected from March to May this year. The environmental protection organization purchased 33 stores in Adidas, Nike and Puma under the brand stores and brand authorized stores in 16 countries (regions), including China, Korea and the United Kingdom, including football shoes, jerseys, goalkeepers gloves and official balls, and then sent to qualified third independent laboratories for analysis and testing.

The results showed that all the three companies had residual toxic and harmful substances such as perfluorinated compounds, o-benzoic acid two formate and so on.

Among them, over 2/3 of football shoes and more than half of the goalkeeper gloves were detected perfluorooctanoic acid.

With such a high detection rate and exceeding the standard rate, Professor Gong has just mentioned that there is a problem in the process of production. Are these global famous brands liable to have a major responsibility?

P > Zhang Xingyan: in fact, Mr. Gong said this problem just now. It may not be banned in our country's law, which may not be banned in production and standards, so they are still using it.

That is to say, it has not been found to be a better alternative to its components.

But just now, Mr. Gong also revealed that this thing will not cause too much harm to the human body through direct contact. It only has some adverse effects on the environment. So I think we should distinguish between these problems.

Why are we constantly exposed to these problems, but are still using these chemical preparations containing toxic substances?

Gong Yan: This is from the perspective of the development of industries. First of all, these compounds were not invented by the Chinese themselves, not just the clothing industry. Many of our industries were imported, importing foreign equipment and technology, and then taking root and development in China. So even though some media commentaries seem to be Made In China, it is actually imported from foreign countries, and it is not our own creation of such a harmful process.

Second, this is a gradual process. Even in Europe and America in the 50 and 60s, probably when he had a production line, it was produced in the same way. In recent years, because of environmental problems, we have to reflect on what we have done wrong, and then more and more relations to this long-term safety.

It is possible to simply take this perfluorinated compound to do human experimentation, and it will not see damage in the short term. It must be long-term. Therefore, we should pay attention to it and not to panic too much. It is more important to use this information to remind enterprises and relevant institutions of the state to take measures as soon as possible to raise standards and technologies.

> ADI has publicly pledged in 2011 to eliminate toxic substances in production process /p >

China's P has not yet been banned, but some countries and regions have placed some perfluorinated compounds on the list of restricted use.

According to the environmental protection group insiders, Adidas and other companies publicly pledged to eliminate toxic and harmful substances in the production process in 2011, but Adidas is far behind the others in terms of actions compared with the other dozen brands that have committed poison.

What is the reason?

Zhang Xingyan: I think this is the credibility of an enterprise.

The production enterprises should have a relatively good reputation. Therefore, I think ADI is still lack of effective measures to control and detect this harmful substance. It has not acted, but made an oral statement.

So I think this is because ADI did not pay enough attention to consumers, especially domestic consumers, and did not apply the same standard to its production.

here we should remind consumers that for such an enterprise, although it is a big card, its practice is like this. In the future, you have to weigh it up yourself when choosing.

ADI and Nike account for more than 80% of the global market share of football products. China is not only the main overseas production base of these two enterprises, but also the second largest consumer market after the US.

In 2013 alone, Adidas's annual sales in China exceeded 1 billion 600 million euros.

Nearly half of the samples tested were produced in China.

What does this mean again?

Gong Yan: because China is the world's processing plant, not just clothing, but many industries are produced in China.

At this time, I would like to ask you to ponder over a problem. The toxic substance remaining in a product is actually less for the production process. That is to say, in the production process, more chemicals are used, and then there will be a little surplus on clothes. So what really hurts is that we are producing this process on this land.

But when we look at the selling price, we all know the smile curve. China is at the bottom of the smile curve. We may make a dress that can only earn less than 1/10, but the brand end has made a very big profit.

If the production end does not have enough profit margin, it will also ignore the problem of environmental protection.

If there is a certain profit, people will attach importance to the development and use of new technology. This is a problem we should pay attention to.

environmental protection organizations require that brands such as ADI be released to manufacturers /p >

"P," environmentalists say, "fans and consumers around the world should not pay for these big sports polluter behavior.

"Relevant environmental groups said they would urge Adidas, Nike and other sports brands to publish information about their suppliers' toxic and hazardous substances as soon as possible, formulate detailed timetables and eliminate perfluorinated compounds with specific rules, so as to provide truly safe, reliable and environmentally friendly products for the public.

> as the saying goes, "one cent, one share," we mentioned that the products of these big brands are much more expensive than some of the same brands. So when consumers choose, they may be rushing to buy a safety if I spend more money, which may not be the case.

How can we tell the difference? Are there any ways to help people not to be hurt in this respect?

Gong Yan: it must be difficult for consumers to identify this.

However, environmental protection organizations require these Brand Company to tell their manufacturers about the issue, which is very meaningful.

As we all know, production is in China, but we do not know which brand of which factory is supplying. We do not know. In this case, the right to speak by the brand will affect the improvement and enthusiasm of the production process. In other words, there is a lack of supervision from the third party.

When we know every link of its supply chain, the public's regulatory ability, including the autonomy and self-consciousness of the manufacturers, will also increase.

for the detection of technical indicators such as the safety of garments, are there any relevant regulatory departments or specialized testing institutions in our country to supervise?

Zhang Xingyan: as far as I know, the monitoring of clothing quality in our country is mainly a self quality monitoring in the course of enterprise operation and operation. There are no mandatory standards and requirements. The compulsory sampling inspection by the state and the industrial and commercial sampling inspection consist of two parts. Some large business circles will ask you to issue a third party inspection report when you are stationed in me. Some other trading cities, foreign trade cities, wholesale markets we often see and so on do not have such requirements.

Therefore, there is no mandatory laws and regulations for the detection of this piece. At present, there will be a vacuum in regulation.

this seems to be a multi pronged approach. On the one hand, we call on the relevant enterprises to be responsible, and our supervision should keep pace with them. Of course, we consumers still have to vote.

From the consumers' point of view, we also need to learn a lot of methods, such as consumers' reflection. When buying clothes, we need to look at the price and style, but also take a look at its label, that is, it has a safety level, especially the infant clothing may have a higher demand for products.

So how can consumers read the labels of clothes?

Gong Yan: actually, in recent years, there is an ecological safety standard such as GB18401 in China.

This ecological symbol is updated every year, and it also keeps increasing testing items. This is a mandatory standard.

This level is divided into categories, category A is infants and young children, the highest safety level, the most stringent indicators, the most restrictive.

The second is the B category, which generally refers to some underwear worn by the body, including some clothes that are close to the body, a little looser than the infant level, but relatively demanding.

The third is the C category, which is what we wear, such as jackets, including clothes that are not for personal wear.

National liberalized < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp > > third party detection < /a > /strong > /p >

if the label of some branded clothes is not standardized, is it also making some deception and misleading to consumers? Besides, if you are not sure, is there any place to detect this thing?

Zhang Xingyan: in fact, consumers are aware of products through labels. We confirm the performance of products and some of their specifications through labels. Therefore, if label tagging is not standardized, it will obviously lead to misleading consumers.

At present, for this kind of testing of clothing, I think all inspection organizations or laboratories that have such testing ability can do it, as can be done by Mr. Gong and their clothing Institute.

in fact, these news is also known by continuous testing.

Gong Yan: Yes, in fact, including the international environmental protection organization, it also contacted many famous laboratories in the world.

In fact, the state has a policy that has liberalized the third party testing market, so long as your laboratory is approved by the state and then it will be certified, such laboratories can independently produce a legally valid report.

for example, I am a consumer, I bought a dress, and then I think there is a problem, and then I sent to the teacher to check this laboratory, for example, there is really a problem, how can I complain? Can the law protect me?

Zhang Xingyan: Yes, if we do buy unsafe products, we can find a dealer or a manufacturer to make a complaint. Then we can ask for a return, and if it causes physical damage, we can still claim compensation.

hint: < a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > new clothes < /a > wash with warm water can remove most harmful substances /p >

there are consumers who say that he has been in the clothing business, and is really dizzy in the shop. Finally, it also detects that there may be something in the blood, which may be nothing in front of him, but maybe it lurks in your body. For example, what kind of disease is it after twenty years? Maybe it is because of some clothes that are in contact now, or what clothes to wear.

So, let's ask Mr. Gong to sort out what links may bring some toxins to our clothes. How can we identify them? For example, the clothes we wear in summer, say sportswear, a body is red and green, and there are many decorations on it. What I often hear is that there will be metal components.

In addition, there may be some clothes in summer. The brands they produce are antibacterial ingredients. Are these things harmful to our health?

Gong Yan: in addition to spinning and weaving, there are many new processes in clothing processing, such as coloring process, finalize process, and some finishing processes.

In this process, for example, if we want to add the pigment, we must use some glue. There may be formaldehyde emission or organic matter release in this glue, so many of the flavors you smell are not the taste of the pigment or the glue.

In addition, after finishing is now widely used in clothing, a new method of improvement, such as the most familiar wrinkle finishing, often have formaldehyde residue and release, so in the clothing testing formaldehyde is a very important evaluation index, is also a control index, especially for class A, B clothing, domestic industry and Commerce quality supervision inspection is very strict.

In addition, there is pH value, because in the process of processing will often add some acidic or alkaline substances, assuming that the alkaline skin will feel itchy, for example, some wool products, we must use these acids and alkali treatment, after processing it will have a bit of residue.

The third aspect is heavy metals, some of which may be residual, including their natural fibers or chemical fibers will remain, this part is not particularly serious, the most fear is finishing.

Heavy metal is a state of adhesion, it is not firmly adsorbed, and the skin may fall off when it is sweating. This effect is relatively large. Especially we wear some woolen clothes, because wool often uses heavy metals in dyeing process.

is there any way to remove these toxins after buying clothes?

Gong Yan: to put it simply, I suggest that all consumers, no matter how new your clothes are, must wash them with water and wash them in warm water. Most of the harmful substances can be removed by this way.
