Ms. Zhang is the owner of a Clothes shop. She has always felt dizzy and uncomfortable in her stomach during this period. Although she works hard at ordinary times, she has always paid attention to maintaining her body. This sudden discomfort made her want to go to the hospital for inspection. This inspection found a major problem,The diagnosis given by the doctor turned out to be poisoning!

After inspection, it was found that Ms. Zhang's blood contained Carcinogen, with an average of 486 micrograms of chlorobenzene per liter of serum, dozens of times more than the human body can bear.

This thunderbolt made Ms. Zhang unbelievable and began to recall her lifestyle and dietary habits. Did anyone poison her? Starting a small business on your own and having good social connections on weekdays, how could such a thing happen?

Fatal Poison Clothes

The doctor couldn't believe this result, either,You should know that chlorobenzene used to mainly produce insecticides and other toxins, and how did ordinary people get infected with this toxin,At first, I thought Ms. Zhang was working in the chemical industry and didn't take proper precautions. However, Ms. Zhang said that she has no connection with the chemical industry and has been running a small clothing store.

Ms. Zhang's clothing store is a small business. With the development of e-commerce, the clothes in her store are not as cheap as those on the internet, and business is becoming increasingly bleak.

At this point, some small manufacturers approached Ms. Zhang and offered to give them a batch of cheap and good-looking clothes, saying they were clearing their inventory and selling them to Ms. Zhang at a very low price.Thinking about the recent business difficulties in her store, Ms. Zhang agreed to buy this batch of cheap clothes. After examination, the toxin in Ms. Zhang's blood comes from here.

The "culprit" was found, and the relevant departments found that the clothes contained a large amount of Benzidine and formaldehyde. Ms. Zhang stayed with the clothes for a long time, together with the clothes to try on and take photos, and as time passed, she was also attacked.

Afterwards, Ms. Zhang also regretted it deeply. She didn't expect that she fell ill for the sake of being cheap, and blamed herself for lacking knowledge in these areas. Subsequently, Ms. Zhang reported to the public security organs the manufacturer of black heart clothing.

So, how do these unscrupulous manufacturers produce toxic clothing?

Clothing is a necessity in our daily lives. Nowadays, China's technology is very advanced, and most of the clothing is processed by machines. The basic production process includes cutting, dyeing, sewing, and so on.

Although it may seem simple, there are many mysteries behind it,Some unscrupulous manufacturers may cut corners in various stages to save costs. For example, using some fibrous industrial waste materials, commonly known as black heart cotton, instead of normal clothing materials.

In the process of dyeing clothes, low-quality dyes are used, and clothes produced by the black heart workshop are like walking "poison" when worn on the body.

These clothes are not strictly disinfected and can easily become a "hotbed" of bacteria. They can cause skin itching, trigger some skin diseases, and even come into contact with toxic substances, leading to cancer!

So some people may ask, isn't it? Wearing clothes can lead to cancer, is it a bit exaggerated?

Here we need to introduceBenzidine, which is listed as the first carcinogen by WHO, which is the culprit causing Ms. Zhang's poisoning.

Benzidine is a dye that can enter the human body through the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract and skin. If the contact time is too long, it may cause bladder cancer, Cystitis and other diseases. Benzidine is also one of the carcinogens confirmed by the International Cancer Research Center, which can cause great harm to human body.

As early as 2022, CCTV reported a news report that the State Administration for Market Regulation conducted a spot check on a company selling clothing online in Shenzhen,The clothes were found to contain a large amount of "Benzidine", which even exceeded the safe value by 27 times.

If long-term contact occurs, it will inevitably have serious effects on the human body, and even more terrifying is that,The incubation period for cancer caused by this substance is long, sometimes even up to 20 yearsAnd when patients get sick, they don't even suspect their clothes.

In addition, some clothing processing factories, during the production process,Because using inferior dyes or chemicals can also produce a large amount of formaldehyde.I believe many people have watched videos of certain jeans factories painting and coloring. Nowadays, there are many jeans on the internet that cost more than ten yuan, and most of them use low-cost chemical dyes and additives to save costs.

This news attracted widespread attention at that time, after all, it involved the people's normal clothing and attire,As soon as this news is released, people are revealing the inside story of the black heart small workshop, and the clothes we usually buy online are likely from black heart factories. So, how do we avoid buying inferior products during the process of purchasing clothes?

How to Avoid Black Heart Clothing

In response to these problems, China has long banned the use of biodegradable Aromatic amine dyes.

In addition, according to the 2011 National Basic Safety Technical Specifications for Textile Products, formaldehyde content is also classified into three categories. Class A is infant clothing, with a formaldehyde content of no more than 20 milligrams per kilogram of clothing; Class B refers to clothing that comes into contact with the skin, with a formaldehyde content of no more than 75 milligrams per kilogram; Class C refers to clothing that does not come into direct contact with the skin, and the formaldehyde content cannot exceed 300 milligrams per kilogram.

So when we purchase clothing, we also find that qualified clothing on the market comes with three small cards,The certificate of conformity, brand introduction, and washing instructions are likely to be printed on a small piece of fabric, sewn inside the clothing, or in an inconspicuous position.

These three cards contain information security technologies, product levels, and product standards. The information security technologies are divided into three categories: A, B, and C. Class A is the standard for infant and toddler clothing, with the lowest formaldehyde content. Class B is clothing that can be worn close to the body, while Class C cannot come into direct contact with the skin and can be used as a jacket, windbreaker, etc.

When purchasing, we first look at the ingredients in the label and manual of the clothes to facilitate the selection of the fabric and clothing category we like.

in additionThe product grade of clothing is also divided into "qualified products", "first-class products", and "excellent products". Generally, the clothes we buy on the market are qualified products,If there is no certificate of conformity on the hanging tag, it indicates that the clothing has not undergone quality testing and is likely to be defective. Therefore, people must not purchase this type of clothing.

As for first-class and premium products, the prices are relatively high. Of course, you get what you pay for, and if you are willing to spend money, you can also buy high-quality clothes. Learn to read labels, and you can also give clothes a rough location to avoid being "slaughtered" by merchants.

The final product standard is probably unfamiliar to everyone, and this is the specification standard for clothing fabrics. For example, GB/T2662-2008 is the standard for cotton clothes, and "GB/T2660-2008" is the standard for shirts, which can help everyone distinguish.

In terms of purchasing channels, we try to stay away from street vendors as much as possible. Many of them do not have hanging tags or quality certificates, which cannot guarantee the rights and interests of consumers.

The same is true for online purchases, preferably from brand flagship stores, with relatively guaranteed reputation. I believe many friends can also see some live streaming rooms for buying clothes onlineThe anchor is frantically bargaining, directly saying, 'Nine yuan and nine yuan, link up, family members!'

Looking at this cheap and outrageous price, some people just have a fun time, but there are also friends who can't help but place orders. Can you really find a bargain like this. Actually, it's not the case,This is likely a cheap product produced by some unscrupulous workshops who cut corners.

When I bought it back, I found out that I was deceived. This rough fabric has a pungent odor and is clearly a defective product. However, the return is not enough for shipping costs, so it's important to choose a purchasing channel,Don't blindly try to get cheap, buy from legitimate channels to reduce the probability of buying toxic clothes.

When holding the clothes in hand, one can also confirm through their senses whether the clothes have a stimulating odor. If there is one or more of them, such as mold odor, gas oil and kerosene odor, fishy odor, etc., it is judged as "having an odor", otherwise it is judged as "no odor".

For the touch of the material, it should be soft and moderate. If it is gentle, the wrinkles will not disappear for a long time, so the quality may not be too good after washing.It is best to choose clothing made of materials such as pure cotton, linen, silk, etc.

in additionTry to choose a light color scheme as much as possible, as the more colors used on the clothes, the more residual dyes there will be.

Finally, you can also observe the buttons and threads on the clothes. unscrupulous manufacturers do not put much effort into improving the quality of the clothes. If the threads on the clothes are chaotic, the buttons are unstable, and there are many threads, then it is necessary to carefully consider the quality of the clothes.

Wash and dry new clothes in a timely manner upon arrival

In summer, clothes are very thin and can be changed and washed frequently, and they are also easy to dry. However, in winter, clothes are thick and many of them may last for the entire winter

The reporter learned during random interviews at various shopping malls thatMost people wear thick clothes such as Down jacket and cotton padded jacket without washing them.

This is not right. After we buy the clothes, we also need to clean and air them,Because clothing may have some chemical residues during the manufacturing process, and during processing, transportation, and other processes, it may also be contaminated with bacteria, mites, etc,So it is still necessary to clean clothes, as this can eliminate most harmful residues.

Of course, Benzidine is difficult to wash off. Benzidine has a high boiling point and is insoluble in water. Unless it is repeatedly scalded with hot water, it will also damage the texture of clothes. So we should keep our eyes open when buying clothes to prevent buying inferior clothes.

In addition to the clothes we wear every day, we need to be more cautious about Household goods, food and drinks and other necessities.Nowadays, there are always unscrupulous factories on the market that cut corners to save costs and produce food products that pose great harm to us.

Over the years, the 315 party has always identified harmful products in our lives,Continuous exposure and rectification require us to work together to deeply understand the essence and impact of the matter, improve self-protection awareness, create a safer, healthier, and more just market environment, and make consumers no longer worry about shopping safety.

We also need to clearly distinguish the difference in product quality between formal and informal channels, spend more time shopping, choose legitimate, standardized, and reputable shopping platforms and merchants, and not trust low price rebates and other false information.

Adhere to rational consumption, safe consumption, and universal consumption, remain vigilant, enhance self-protection awareness, and consider the health and interests of oneself and family.

It is also a more direct and effective method for people to learn more about relevant knowledge and independently improve their awareness of prevention.

Overall, to ensure food and clothing safety, relying solely on the efforts of one party is not enough. The people should be vigilant and actively report counterfeit and inferior products. Relevant departments should also strengthen supervision of the market environment, crack down on the black industry chain, prevent the production of toxic products, and let us jointly maintain a good market environment.
