According to CCTV4 China News Report: Taiwan's quality supervision department recently sampled children's raincoats and rain boots in the hypermarket, and found that most of the raincoats and rain boots have exceeded the standard of plasticizers, and some even exceeded the standard. Because plasticizers are environmental hormones, if children are exposed too much, it will affect growth and development, and serious cancer will also occur!
Children's raincoats and rain boots in the hypermarket are colorful, and rainy days are a must for children. However, the spot inspection by the Taiwan Quality Supervision Department found that the plasticizer content in these items was seriously exceeded. The quality supervision department of Taiwan has tested 15 children's raincoats and rain boots in the hypermarket. Among them, 8 pieces of raincoats and 10 sets of rain boots have plasticizer content exceeding the standard. Some rain boots even exceed the standard value by more than 541 times. Because plasticizers are environmental hormones, long-term exposure of boys is prone to feminine characteristics, and girls may experience precocious puberty if they are exposed for a long time. In severe cases, they may even cause cancer. Ms. Rao Yuzhen, the head of the laboratory inspection and testing group, pointed out that excessive plasticizer content will affect the health and safety of the human body, especially for boys, and it will have some precocious puberty for girls. After the people got the news, they all said that they should avoid using plasticized products in the future. At present, the hypermarket has already sent the rain gear out of the problem to the manufacturer for inspection, and said that it will wait until the report shows normal to resume supply.
The children's raincoat rain boots are made of PVC material. PVC material is polyvinyl chloride. It is one of the world's largest plastic products. It is cheap and widely used. The PVC resin is white or light yellow powder. Different additives can be added according to different purposes, and polyvinyl chloride plastic can exhibit different physical properties and mechanical properties. A variety of hard, soft and transparent articles can be prepared by adding an appropriate amount of plasticizer to the polyvinyl chloride resin. If you want to avoid the use of plasticizer products, you must completely eliminate PVC products. In fact, raincoats are not all plasticized products such as PVC. The early rain boots are natural rubber products, but the appearance of plasticizers such as PVC materials, because of the simple production process and low price, so we can see people entering the line of sight. However, in the face of quality, see the real Zhang, the drawbacks of plasticizer products such as PVC materials have been triggered - seriously affecting human health and safety. Therefore, if you want to avoid plasticizer products, it is better to stop using them.
