In Response To The Brand Name Of Environmental Friendly Outdoor Footwear, Perfluorinated Compounds Should Be Eliminated.

Environmental protection organization Greenpeace released the latest international survey report, found harmful perfluorinated

The remote mountain areas that have polluted the earth include the famous Swiss the Alps, Italy tin Patagonia mountain and Chile Patagonia plateau.

Polyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) is an artificial harmful chemical substance. It belongs to the environmental hormone. Once released into the environment, it can be accumulated in the organism and spread through the atmosphere.

Lian Peiyi, senior director of Greenpeace, said that some PFCs could affect the reproductive system and may stimulate tumor production, affect the hormonal system, and even increase the risk of cancer.

It is difficult to decompose in the environment, which is its biggest problem.

So human beings are constantly creating, and the environment is hard to eliminate naturally, and we are constantly accumulating. Now we see that there are some perfluorinated compounds, because there are many kinds of perfluorinated compounds, some of which have confirmed that human endocrine system will be affected, and will also stimulate tumor growth, which is actually a potential carcinogen.

In addition to being harmful to humans, according to some laboratory experiments, it also affects the body function of mammals.

Green peace has also detected PFCs in the dust of the Taiwan people's homes. It is reported that studies have found that the liver and human blood of the polar bear and the PFCs in breast milk have been found.

Perfluorinated compounds, PFCs, should not have been found in the natural environment. They are difficult to dissolve in water and oil. They are widely used in outdoor products, so they are commonly used to increase outdoor use.

Water repellency and anti fouling function, green peace suspects people climbing mountaineering and wearing such waterproof outdoor outfits cause pollution.

Lian Pei pointed out that because of the convenience of manufacturers using hazardous chemicals, they neglected the pollution hazards. Currently, perfluorinated compounds made by humans have spread from their sites to remote corners of the world.

Many companies directly launch the market. This is what we see slowly now. Many chemicals have some new harmful substances. It is because most of the time when people launched some chemical products, they focused on its acute toxicity, but ignored the long-term impact.

Green Peace Appeal

Perfluorinated compounds should be eliminated as soon as possible, and governments should also restrict or prohibit all kinds of PFCs.

There are many chemicals in the outdoors that we wear out for sports or mountain climbing. We hope they will know that the clothes they wear may be harmful to nature.

Greenpeace this year, from May to June, 8 expeditions were sent to 17 of the most remote mountain areas in Chile, China, Italy, Scandinavia, Russia, Slovakia, Switzerland and Turkey, and 17 samples of snow and fresh water were collected. Results of 10 snow samples and 6 water samples were tested for perfluorinated compounds.
