Outdoor Clothing Brands Such As Adidas Are Exposed To Toxic Fluoride.

Less than p ago, a new test report released by Greenpeace, an international environmental protection agency, showed that some world-famous outdoor sports brands: a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothing < /a > contain 14 brands, such as Adidas, TheNorthFace, JackWolfskin (wolf claw), and so on. The materials used include chemicals, such as perfluorinated compounds (PFC), which are harmful to health and environment.

"P," Zhu Qinghua, a researcher at CIC light industry, told reporters that perfluorinated octanoic acid is pervasive in outdoor brand sportswear, which is not restricted in the testing standard of Chinese outdoor clothing.

< /p >

"P > Adidas China headquarters made an undertaking in the interview:" in 2020, we achieve zero emissions of harmful chemicals in all products and manufacturing processes of our supply chain. "

< /p >

< p > the above report shows that the Greenpeace German office has made a sample survey on the products of famous outdoor clothing brands such as JackWolfskin, TheNorthFace, Patagonia, Kaikkialla and Marmot and so on.

It was found that PFCs was detected in all 14 samples, especially the more toxic perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).

8 of them detected high concentrations of perfluorooctyl ethanol (FTOH).

Toxic substances such as plasticizers and nonylphenol were also detected in some samples.

At the same time, Greenpeace reported in the report that 10 of the 14 products purchased from three countries in Germany, Switzerland and Australia were produced in China, and the sewage generated in these production processes was drained into China's rivers.

< /p >

In this report, "P", green peace requires the use of safer alternatives in the fabric of outdoor clothing to replace and eliminate PFC.

< /p >

< p > the above report shows that most outdoor sports brands use PFCs in the production process, so outdoor clothing can ensure that we are far away from the trouble of moisture.

These man-made fluorocarbons are very stable. If they enter the environment, they will be difficult to eliminate.

< p > Zhu Qinghua said that perfluorooctanoic acid was found in outdoor sports, < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > brand clothing < /a >. "But a small amount of perfluorooctanoic acid does not cause too much harm to the human body."

"Countries have not restricted them for many years. At present, this substance is not restricted in the testing standards of outdoor garments in China."

< /p >

< p > however, Germany is now putting this substance on the list of "extremely worrying substances".

< /p >

< p > Adidas official said one of the company's products was also tested.

However, all the chemical residues detected from the product are entirely within the guidance of laws and regulations.

The chemical residues found in Adidas products do not pose a threat to the health or safety of consumers.

< /p >

< p > Greenpeace said in its report: the results of this product test prove that the famous outdoor brand urgently needs to eliminate PFCs from its production.

Today, materials that do not contain PFC have been published. Outdoor clothing industry must continue to develop PFC alternatives and use more environmentally friendly alternatives in the production of products.

< /p >

Less than P, in fact, last year, Greenpeace has passed the report test and made some commitment to select sportswear to some sportswear brands, including Nike and Puma.

< /p >

< p > "clothing containing perfluorooctanoic acid now seems to have been accepted by all countries. But considering its harmfulness, all sectors of society should put pressure on them and find substitutes as soon as possible. Otherwise, the accumulation of harmful substances will cause serious harm to the environment and consumer health."

Zhu Qinghua said.

< /p >

Yesterday, Adidas official made a promise to achieve zero emissions of hazardous chemicals in 2020 in an interview reply.

"Through collaboration, we have led the garment manufacturing and manufacturing of a target=" _blank "href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/ "> shoes < /a > industry to achieve zero emissions of hazardous chemicals in all products and manufacturing processes of our supply chain by 2020.
