Taiyuan Citizens Should Not Be Healthy But Only Cheap.

　 In August 23rd, Zhang Kai, director of the Greenpeace pollution and control project, introduced to the public the report on the investigation of toxic and harmful substances in the global brand clothing.

Greenpeace released by the international environmental protection organization in August 23rd released a survey of toxic and harmful substances in the global brand clothing, which was released in August 23rd. The products of famous brands such as Adidas and Lining contain nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE). Medical experiments have proved that these hormones may lead to precocious puberty.

Yesterday, reporters visited a number of large Taiyuan. Sports mall Most Brand store The salesmen said they were "not clear about this". Many of the consumers interviewed were looking for a price cut in the mall. 14 brands involving "toxic clothing" storm

Zhang Kai, director of Greenpeace project, said in an interview with reporters that from April 2011 to May, Greenpeace purchased 78 samples of 15 clothing brands in 18 countries, including China, the United Kingdom, and Argentina. After being tested by qualified third party laboratories, the results showed that 2/3 samples including Adidas, Lining and 14 brands were detected to contain NPE.

Among them, the NPE content of 4 Lining products was 680 mg / kg, 9.8 mg / kg, 7.1 mg / kg, 2.8 mg / kg respectively.

In the samples containing NPE, the brand of NPE with a content of more than 500 mg per kilogram includes Lining A&F, Nike and YOUNGOR, of which one A&F denim shorts NPE content is as high as 1100 mg / kg, YOUNGOR's sportswear NPE content is 530 mg / kg, Nike's two T-shirts reach 810 mg / kg and 660 mg / kg respectively. In all the spot checks products, the reporter saw that a T-shirt NPE produced in Philippines is also up to 27000 mg / kg.

A paper published in Chinese Journal of environmental science points out that NPE and its degradation products are irritating to the eyes and have a hormonal effect on the environment. Zhang Kai also said that although it does not cause human poisoning directly through the skin, it will rapidly decompose into nonylphenol in water. NP can mimic estrogen, interfere with the endocrine of the organism, and is toxic to the reproductive system. Some countries and regions have banned the use of NPE for 20 years because of their safety. Salesman: I haven't heard of hormones.

Dazzling clothes, shopping malls, all kinds of opening activities are displayed everywhere, and new signboards are placed in front of the shelves. In order to welcome the new term, the major sports shops have been prepared for the students. In the first floor of the Meisha international sports mall in Liu Xiang, Taiyuan, Nike, which is reported to be named, is still selling hot. The female shopping guide of the store said: "one year, two seasons, one new year, and the other is to start school and sell very well."

"Your clothes contain toxic substances. Do you have anyone else to buy them?" the reporter asked. The woman shopping guide waved her hand and said, "no way, we are an international brand name. You probably got it wrong", while another male shopping guide disdained to say: "it has been selling well, and a lot of people bought a few days ago, and many of the styles were broken."

Reporters in Adidas counters also encountered the same problems, front-line sales staff have said that the so-called "environmental hormone" problem unaware, and never received any notice from the leadership. "It is impossible to contain hormones in clothes. We have quality assurance," said a female shopping guide of Adidas monopoly.

Kappa, who is also deeply involved in the "drug related" door, asked the reporter doubtfully: "clothes can also have an impact on the reproductive system? It's too outrageous."

In the shopping center of Tongluowan, Taiyuan, Nike shop staff said they had never heard of Nike's "drug related" incident, nor did they ask consumers. Adidas's salesperson admitted that he was wearing a Adidas sportswear and never had any problems. And smiled and promised: "if we have problems, there will be no safe clothes." Consumers: not afraid of "poison" is too expensive.

　 In the face of the exposed problem brand, the attitude of most consumers makes reporters laugh.

In a Nike store in Tongluowan, a mother is picking a coat for her son. "My son wants a jacket for Nike, and no other brand." "Nike's clothing has been proved to contain toxic substances. Don't you know?" the reporter asked. The mother smiled and said, "I heard that this is a common problem. Even worrying is useless. If you buy products with unknown brands, you will not feel at ease." After selecting for more than ten minutes, the mother expressed disappointment: "I thought the negative news would affect the sales of clothes, and the merchants would deal with the price. I didn't expect the price to be the same as before."

In Meisha international sports mall, Zhang Jianya, a freshman girl, said: "after all, clothes are not eaten, they should have little impact on the body. If Adidas can reduce the price, I will buy two pieces. "

During the interview, most customers disapproved of the famous brand "drug-related" incident. A paying customer said, "go home and wash it more than two times." Voice expert: don't be too superstitious.

Knowing that toxic, still blindly follow suit, consumers' "moths to catch fire" attitude is puzzling, Zhang Yuanyi, teacher of Taiyuan Institute of psychology said: "this is vanity in the mischief".

Zhang Yuanyi said that people's pursuit of famous brand is actually satisfying their vanity. Behind the famous brand, there is a hand. This hand helps to promote the growth of famous brand. This hand is the consumer and consumer's advocacy and fascination with famous brand, leading to the smooth sailing of famous brand in the market, and when it has established its position in the market, the brand effect arises.

"We always think that famous brands are the best. Without pollution, they will not deceive us. This is the effect of famous brands," Zhang Yuanyi said.

For this "drug-related" incident, Zhang Lianlian, an expert in economics at Institute of Social Studie in Shanxi Province, has also expressed his view. Zhang Lianlian said that Adidas and Nike were famous for their brand name clothing, which is a good thing for consumers. It has sounded the alarm bell for consumers, so that everyone can walk out of the "brand superstition" and establish a correct consumption concept and rational consumption.

Guo Cui, inspector of Shanxi Quality Fiber Inspection Bureau, said: washing and soaking can not completely remove harmful compounds from new clothes, so the best way is to stop the use of these harmful substances from the source of production. Reporter Jia Lina links the harm of NPE and NP

Nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPE):NPE is an artificial chemical substance produced by human beings. Once the chemical enters the sewage treatment plant or the environment, it will be decomposed into persistent NP which will interfere with the endocrine system. Some countries and regions have restricted their use for nearly 20 years because of their danger.

Nonylphenol (NP):NP has a wide range of applications in industry, including the manufacture of NPE. NP is recognized as a persistent and bioaccumulative toxic and harmful substance, and is an endocrine disrupting substance. As we all know, NP can be accumulated in tissues of fish and other organisms and amplified by the food chain. Recently, NP has also been found in the human body. In some areas, the use and emission of NP and NPE have been limited for a long time. For example, NP and NPE were included in the first batch of chemicals that were first cleared for the protection of the marine environment of northeast the Atlantic (OSPARConvention). NP is also listed as the "primary toxic and hazardous substance" under the EU Water Framework Directive.

In addition, since January 2005, in addition to some closed loop industrial systems, the EU has banned the use and sale of all NP or NPE content in most industries, such as textile, paper making, cleaning, personal care products, and more than 0.1% products. Recently, China has also joined NP and NPE in the catalogue of toxic chemicals that strictly restrict import and export (2011). However, there is no provision for the use and discharge of NP and NPE in China.
