Many people like to buy clothes exported to the domestic market, thinking that these clothes are exquisite in materials and fine in workmanship. However, exporting clothes to the domestic market does not mean that there are no defects. Do you know that many colorful and fashionable clothes are returned because of the use of azo dyes? According to experts, garments exported to western Europe and other places must be tested for banned dyes. Any clothing with excessive azo dye content will be considered harmful to human body and will not be allowed to enter its market. This dye stays on people's body for a long time, just like a plaster attached to people's skin, which causes diseases through the action of sweat and body temperature. Medical experiments show that this effect is even faster than that caused by diet. However, clothes sold in China do not need to undergo similar tests. Relevant experts have been calling on relevant departments to establish relevant laws and regulations as soon as possible to protect the interests of consumers. In addition, the heavy metal components in these dyes will pollute nature, especially air and water quality.
In addition to dyes that may contain toxic substances in clothes, some sportswear also use a toxic substance called tributyl phosphate. This is a heavy metal compound, which is used to produce paint and prevent marine life from adhering to the hull. Because this substance can sterilize and eliminate odor, it becomes an ideal additive for sportswear. However, if the content of this substance is too high in human body, it will cause nervous system diseases, destroy human immune system and endanger liver.
Although these harmful substances do little harm to human health as far as every piece of clothing is concerned, the influence of daily contact and immortality cannot but be worrying.
Therefore, while enjoying the achievements brought by high technology, we should also pay attention to its negative effects. It is best to choose fabrics made of natural fibers and dyed with natural dyes for daily wear. Don't wear clothes that fade, try to choose light-colored clothes.
