"Toxic Home Textiles" Sounded The Alarm For Quality And Safety Of Household Textiles

< p > after the new year, primary and secondary schools are coming to school. However, the results of a spot check by the Shanghai Municipal Quality Supervision Bureau recently attracted a great stir: the results of spot checks showed that 6 batches of 22 batches of school uniforms were unqualified, of which the aha ha a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank" > clothing < /a > the school uniform actually contained carcinogenic substances.

For this reason, 21 primary and middle school students in Shanghai using poison uniform have stopped wearing them.

< p > bedding, curtains, toiletries, sofas and other household furniture and clothing belong to the < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank" > textile < /a > products. Shanghai poison school uniform incident also caused a great shock in the home industry.

Reporters learned that the relevant regulatory authorities in Sichuan have strengthened the prevention and management of counterpart enterprises and institutions, and many software manufacturing enterprises and home textile enterprises in Chengdu have also taken action.

< p > strong > 10 years ago, it has been banned < /strong > < /p >.

Wang Tiankai, chairman of the China Textile Industry Federation, told the media that under certain conditions, azo dyes containing decomposable aromatic amines can decompose and release more than 20 aromatic amines with carcinogenicity. The harmful ingredients of the dye are easily absorbed by the skin and spread in the human body, which are mixed with the substances released in the normal metabolism of human body. The reduction reaction can change the DNA structure of the human body, cause lesions and induce malignant tumors, and easily lead to malignant diseases such as bladder cancer, ureteral cancer, and renal pelvic cancer.

Zhang Yi, director of the Sichuan Provincial Bureau of Fiber Inspection Bureau, told the Chengdu Commercial Daily reporter that cotton has been spun into yarn and woven into grey cloth. The grey fabric has been dyed and dyed to become < a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" target= "_blank" > cloth "/a". Finally, it is processed, cut and sewn into textile products by various garment enterprises and home textile products enterprises. The whole production process will undergo 4 major steps, and the most likely part of the problem is in the printing and dyeing finishing process.

< p > > according to him, azo dyes have thousands of kinds. Their advantages are fresh color, not easy to fade, and low cost. But around 2003, more than 20 kinds of decomposable aromatic amine dyes were banned.

Nowadays, most of the dyes on bedding are replaced by reactive dyes.

In contrast, the cost per meter of reactive dyes will cost about 1 yuan, and a common enterprise will produce 1 million meters of cloth every year. Only one reactive dye will be used, and the cost of dye will be 1 million more in one year. This is a cost pressure which is not easy to bear in the upstream of the home textile market, which accounts for the majority of the small and medium enterprises. Once the enterprise lacks common sense and lacks social responsibility, the "poison cloth", "poison school uniform" and "poison home textile" will go into the market.

< p > < strong > > precedent: Beijing home textiles had been enrolled in January < /strong > /p >

< p > according to reports, in early January of this year, the Beijing industrial and commercial bureau announced the quality monitoring results of the household textile products sold on the market: 49 batches of tests were unqualified, and some bedding products detected the carcinogen quality.

Among the 49 batches of textiles, 4 enterprises found 5 carcinogens in the 5 batches of products. They were: Beijing Yujie bedroom products Co., Ltd. two batches of "real family" craft four sets, Beijing Golden Forest needle cotton fabric Co., Ltd. "Slater Ya" wave thickening sheets, Beijing golden sun bedding Co., Ltd. "law Danny" double quilt cover, Hangzhou Yufeng houseware Co., Ltd. "Sheng Wei" high count cotton jacquard four sets.

< p > Beijing's "poison home textiles" incident has put a question mark on "dormitory safety", and the quality of carcinogens that are imported from these home textiles is the decomposition of aromatic amine dyes, a dye that can brighten cloth coloring.

< p > < strong > observation: most people in Chengdu buy home textiles only for their eyes, /strong > /p.

< p > the quality of household textiles is directly related to the health of their families. However, when visiting the Chengdu Commercial Daily reporter, we found that there are many kinds of home textiles, and most consumers will not study the quality of them when they buy them.

< /p >

< p > > the Sichuan provincial product quality supervision inspection and Testing Institute experts told the Chengdu Commercial Daily reporter that apart from decomposing aromatic amine dyes, the pH value and color fastness of household textiles are easy to exceed the standard.

The surface of the human body is weak acidic, and the textile is added strong alkali during the bleaching process. If the pH value is not qualified, the textile directly contacting the skin is likely to cause skin allergy.

Formaldehyde exists in textile finishing agent, is a toxic substance, absorbed by the body, has strong stimulation to skin and respiratory tract, can cause dermatitis, respiratory tract mucous membrane inflammation, etc. the color fastness is not up to standard, and the molecules and heavy metal ions in the dye may be absorbed by skin and skin, which will endanger health.

Compared with flower color, these key words are the problems that must be paid attention to when purchasing textiles.

< p > < strong >. Hint: home textile is divided into ABC class, light color department and small pattern are more secure < /strong > /p >

There are many types of household textiles, such as carpets, wall coverings, curtains, cloth, cushions, bedding and bathroom products. According to Dong Ping, according to the national standard, textile products are divided into three categories: A, B and C. The textile products of infants and young children must conform to class A; the products that directly contact the skin should conform to the category B at least, and the products that do not directly contact the skin should conform to the category of C at least. A qualified product should be marked on the label of P.

< p > > Zhang Yi, director of the Sichuan provincial Fiber Inspection Bureau, told the Chengdu Commercial Daily that the formaldehyde contained in home textile products is easily soluble in water, and water washing can remove some formaldehyde.

However, decomposable aromatic amines are insoluble in water, colorless and tasteless, and can not be discern from appearance.

And red, purple and other dark textiles contain the possibility of decomposing aromatic amine dyes, so he suggests that for the sake of insurance, light colored products can be selected as far as possible.

If there are children at home, it is best to choose light powder and light blue products, try to choose plain or small pattern products, so the risk of formaldehyde and color fastness exceeding standard is relatively small.

But we should also note that the light color system is also likely to exceed the standard pH value. Therefore, the home textile products that just bought home must be cleaned first.
