Actor Deng Chao once dressed up as Santa Claus in a suit to make children laugh. As a result, the child stopped laughing, causing severe allergies. This is the biggest harm that "poison clothes" bring to us. Allergic reaction is mild, with rash, but it can cause laryngeal edema and suffocation.
A harmful dress does so much harm to an adult, how does it compare with a child with delicate skin?
Most new parents want to give their children the best and the most. They want to dress their children as cocoa and love. When they see cute little clothes, they always think that their children must be the most unique and lovely babies in the world, but they ignore the safety of the clothes themselves.
Dressing and eating children is not a simple matter. As parents, we always pay attention to the safety of children, but ignore the safety of children's clothes. Colleague Xiao C's daughter has just turned one year old. Recently, nasal congestion and nosebleeds have repeatedly tossed in many hospitals. I don't think a one-year-old child can be rhinitis, so don't care too much. A few days ago, my nose suddenly bled a lot. The couple are in a hurry. They took their children to see an expert. After the experts checked, they found nothing. They suggested that the child have a CT to exclude foreign bodies in the nasal cavity. Sure enough, through the CT examination room, there is a foreign body with a diameter of 2 mm in the child's nasal cavity. Xiao C thought about it for a long time and probably thought that there was a diamond on the skirt of Frozen that he bought for his children a while ago. After the operation, the foreign body is really an ornament on the clothes, which falls off and is sucked into the nasal cavity. The doctor said it was a good thing to find out in time. If the consequences of inhaling the respiratory tract are more serious, he ordered Xiao C not to wear that dress for the child again.
Xiao C cried and told me after work that he just thought the dress was cute for children, so he bought it with special care. Unexpectedly, it caused a tragic accident. After he regrets, he must pay attention to whether this dress is suitable for children and will not make this mistake again. He also told us not to buy similar clothes for our children.
If a child's clothes are not well chosen, it is easy to become "life-threatening clothes"
In the clothing industry, the prosperity of children's wear is second only to sportswear, and the market scale is growing relatively fast. In 20 19, the children's wear market in China reached 23.910.50 billion yuan. Faced with this huge sales volume, merchants are racking their brains to seize the market.
Some unscrupulous merchants will add a lot of formaldehyde in the printing process and dyeing process in order to make high profits and keep the color lasting, thus making the clothes look more bright and beautiful. Formic acid is colorless and tasteless, so it is easy for parents to ignore this problem.
Children's skin is delicate, respiratory mucosa is not yet mature, and younger children still have the habit of biting clothes. A large amount of formaldehyde will destroy the respiratory tract and is prone to respiratory diseases. Long-term exposure to formaldehyde can also damage liver function, causing chemical hepatitis or liver necrosis. Moreover, formaldehyde is also very harmful to the skin, and it is easy to dermatitis and allergies.
In addition, clothes that are prone to yellowing look brighter and whiter, and fluorescent brighteners are added. Some inferior children's clothes still have problems such as dimethylformamide, excessive benzene addition and excessive PH value. These harmful substances are the chief culprit of children's allergies and other diseases.
Parents must pay attention to the following points when choosing clothes for their children:
1. Look at the tag of clothes, a qualified children's wear, and its tag must show a series of information completely. The most important information is that it is very important to look at the product quality inspection mark, safety technology category and quality and safety level on the tag. The National Technical Specification for Basic Safety of Textile Commodities clearly stipulates the clothing grade, and the safety grade is A, B and C..
Grade a can be worn by babies under 2 years old;
Class B is a product that can directly contact the skin;
Class c products that are not in direct contact with the skin.
When choosing personal clothes for children, you should choose Class A or Class B. For older children, you can choose Class C appropriately. If the tag does not show this information, parents should carefully consider whether to buy this dress.
2. Look at the fabric of the clothes. Babies should try to consider cotton texture when choosing clothes. Although the chemical fiber fabric has bright colors and beautiful patterns, it is airtight. When the child is hot, sweat can't spread out, which is easy to cause skin problems such as eczema.
3. The skill of looking at clothes. When choosing clothes for children, try to choose cotton clothes with light color, less printing and soft fabric. Do not carry out large-scale offset printing on clothes, the printing position is airtight, and brightly colored clothes will also contain a lot of harmful substances because of the dyeing process; Moreover, most of the special offset printing processes can not be sterilized at high temperature, which will destroy the beautiful impression of the pattern and greatly reduce the comfort of wearing in damaged places.
In ancient China, natural dyes were used to dye clothes, and flowers, stems, leaves and roots of plants were extracted to make dyes. Although the dyeing process has no harm to human body, the fixation effect is not good and the color is not rich and bright enough. With the continuous progress of life and the development of industry, the dyeing technology of chemical dyes is becoming more and more mature. Qualified manufacturers will carry out the dyeing process in strict accordance with the proportion that is harmless to the body. However, unscrupulous merchants use chemical standards that exceed national standards in order to dye beautiful colors at low prices.
4. Look at the style of clothes, which may bring danger to children. Parents should choose carefully.
Hood: American law stipulates that children under 12 are not allowed to wear rope. The rope on the hoodie can be said to be a child's "life-saving rope". When the rope is grasped and tightened by other external devices, the child's muscles and tracheal soft tissues are not well developed, and it is easy to be strangled by arteries, leading to rapid coma and suffocation. In recent years, there have been frequent news reports that children died because of hoodie ropes.
Clothes with decorations: If there are ornaments such as rhinestones, sequins, rivets and beads on the clothes, it is very dangerous if they fall off or are accidentally put in your mouth or ears and sucked into the trachea by children. The child of colleague Xiao C is a good example.
Finally, I will teach you some tips to reduce some harmful substances.
1. The newly bought clothes must be soaked in warm water for 5- 10 minutes, and the formaldehyde remaining on the clothes must be removed by soaking. If the color of water changes during soaking, it needs to be soaked again until the water becomes clear.
2. The washed clothes must be dried at high temperature if possible, which can decompose some harmful substances.
Fortunately, most harmful substances are water-soluble. Close-fitting clothes can be washed several times to remove harmful substances.
There are many styles of children's wear on the market at present. Parents should also pay attention to the quality of clothes when choosing fashionable and foreign clothes for their children. Although this phenomenon is very serious and has been avoided from the source through the efforts of relevant departments, some lawless elements continue these activities. Parents should be careful not to let "toxic clothes" be worn on their children every day. Safety is always more important than beauty.
