Formaldehyde Content Is Very Important &Nbsp; New Clothes First Want Salt Water Bubble.

Recently, members of the public, Ms. Zhang, reflected to the author that a jacket she bought from the shop had a pungent smell. She suspected that the formaldehyde exceeded the standard, but the seller was "on the basis of no evidence".

Store: 90% unlabeled clothing

I visited many large supermarkets and clothing stores and found that most of the clothes were not labeled with formaldehyde.

In a clothing store on Lishan Road, I see that the brand clothing there has been marked with simple "safety standard B class", "safety standard C class" and so on, but they do not specify the specific content of formaldehyde.

According to the author's understanding, the new "national textile basic safety technical specification" issued earlier by the state has made the allowable limit for formaldehyde content.

Among them, a class of products, that is, infant products, the formaldehyde content must be less than 20 mg / kg; B products, that is, directly contact with human skin products, formaldehyde content must be less than 75 mg / kg; C products, that is, non direct contact with human skin products, formaldehyde content must be less than 300 mg / kg.

Since last year, the national standards for suits and coats have been asked to specify the specific content of formaldehyde in clothing labels.

A person in charge of a large shopping mall in Huayuan Road summed up the current situation. "At present, only the individual brands clearly indicate the specific value of formaldehyde content, so we can say that 90% of the clothing is not marked."

Citizen: buying clothes is good or bad.

During the interview, the author found that many people are not aware of the relevant national standards, and some even do not care about the formaldehyde content of clothes.

In a large supermarket near Hongjia Lou West Road, I met Mr. Wang, who had just bought several spring clothes.

He told the author, "I never heard of formaldehyde on clothing labels.

Sometimes I see signs on the signs, such as B class, and I don't know what to do. "

He made it clear that he looked at the quality of a garment, whether it was soft, comfortable or not, and never considered the formaldehyde content.

In addition, some citizens were surprised at the possibility of excessive formaldehyde in clothing.

Ms. Zhao, who lives in Shiqiao District, said that she had always thought that formaldehyde exceeded the standard for indoor decoration and furniture. She had never thought of the possibility of formaldehyde exceeding the standard, and even bought clothes for being "cheap".

Not only ordinary citizens, but also some clothing salesmen know little about the relevant national standards. Some say, "we sell famous brands. How can they contain formaldehyde?"

Consumers Association: do not label infringement of consumers' right to know

It is understood that some garment manufacturers have added a large amount of formaldehyde dyeing auxiliaries and resin finishing agents in the process of fabric production. Because of the strong anti-corrosive ability of formaldehyde, the use of formaldehyde in the process of finishing the trees can be involved.

In order to achieve the functions of crease prevention, shrinkproof and flame retarding, or to maintain the durability of printing and dyeing, or to improve the handle, it is necessary to add formaldehyde to auxiliaries.

At present, most of the auxiliaries used for formaldehyde dyeing and printing are pure cotton textiles.

As we all know, the right amount of formaldehyde is not harmful to health, but it is not ruled out that when some bad enterprises are using dyeing auxiliaries, they use toxic chemicals in large quantities. It is particularly important to enforce relevant national standards at this time.

Wang Zhiyuan, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Shandong Consumer Association, said that consumers are more concerned about formaldehyde content in decoration and furniture, but the safety of clothing has not been taken seriously.

He introduced that the state promulgated and implemented a clear standard, but merchants did not express the formaldehyde content according to the requirements, that is, they violated the consumers' right to know. Consumers could ask businesses to give a clear explanation of formaldehyde content.

First wash the new clothes with salt water and then wear them.

Doctors at the center of physical examination in Ji'nan central hospital told the author that if people wear formaldehyde over standard clothing for a long time, they may cause symptoms such as dermatitis. People who are allergic to formaldehyde may be more careful. They may cause dangerous symptoms such as suffocation.

The doctor said that formaldehyde has caused more and more attention to health in recent years. Severe formaldehyde may lead to infection, ulceration and even carcinogenesis, and formaldehyde may be triggered after inhaling the human body.

Another industry has reminded that to identify whether the formaldehyde content of clothing exceeds the standard, consumers can rub the fabric vigorously, and smell it after heating. If the formaldehyde exceeds the standard, the clothes will give off a pungent odor.

He also suggested that in daily life, many people buy new clothes often do not wash directly on the body, which is not healthy, "new clothes should first wash with salt water after cleaning.

Salt can disinfect, sterilize, and prevent cotton cloth from fading. "
