Toxic And Harmful Substances On Brand Clothing Such As Nike ADI

Recently, Greenpeace released a report showing that there are some well-known brands.

Greenpeace has long been concerned about the global water pollution problem caused by toxic and harmful substances.

Prior to the arrival of World Water Day, Greenpeace released the third report of "poison of fashion", which revealed that the pollution caused by the textile industry is not only confined to the production area, but also extends to the consumption area, causing toxic and harmful substances in the global circulation chain.

Greenpeace issued two reports last year, one of which is about China.

Li Yifang, director of the Greenpeace pollution control project, said that these residual toxic and harmful substances indicated that NPE was used in clothing manufacturing and was discharged into rivers of garment producing countries, which caused pollution to the environment of the country.

Li Yifang: in 2010, we tested the wild fish in the Changjiang River, that is, the fish we usually eat, and found that the same environmental hormone is also in the fish body.

Therefore, this clearly shows the chain of toxic and harmful substances.

It is not only in the food we usually eat, in the rivers around us, in the clothes we wear, and in the production process, but also in the rivers of the production area.

In the latest report, the researchers tested the washing effect of 14 samples including Adidas, Nike, Lining, Puma, YOUNGOR, H&M and CK.

Li Yifang introduced their testing process.

Li Yifang: the new report we released this time is simulating the process of washing clothes at home.

According to the latest survey of Greenpeace, the toxic and harmful substances NPE (nonylphenol ethoxylates) on many international and domestic brand clothing products will be released in large quantities during washing process, then be discharged into rivers, lakes and oceans, and pformed into a more toxic chemical substance that interferes with endocrine system NP (Ren Jifen).

Zhang Kai, director of Greenpeace pollution and prevention project, explained NP further.

He said that NP is the world's recognized environmental hormone.

Research shows that even if the concentration of this substance is low, it is also very dangerous.

Zhang Kai: it is persistent and bioaccumulative.

That is to say, once it is discharged into the environment, it will exist in the environment for a long time, and it can enter the food chain and gradually enlarge through the food chain.
