Are cheap clothes harmful?

Cheap clothes can be harmful, and the formaldehyde content of cheap clothes exceeds the standard or the heavy metal antimony seriously exceeds the standard.

According to China's clothing standards, the maximum formaldehyde content of infant clothing is 20ppm, and the maximum formaldehyde content of clothing in contact with skin is 75ppm. After indoor air drying, formaldehyde is detected again. The results show that the formaldehyde content of the washed T-shirt is 73.309ppm, which is only about 5 ppm lower than that before washing. Ordinary cleaning has a certain effect on in addition to formaldehyde, but it has little effect.

The standard of heavy metal content in clothing in China is that the antimony content in infant clothing and clothing in direct contact with skin should not exceed 30ppm. The test results show that the contents of heavy metal element antimony in the yellow tube top and green T-shirt both exceed the standard.

Antimony is a common heavy metal in clothes, and its toxicity is 20 times that of mercury. Antimony poisoning will cause inexplicable pain to the muscles of the whole body.

It is almost impossible to eliminate heavy metals in clothes. According to previous tests, some cheap clothes sold in stalls, or inferior products posing as brands, often have high heavy metal content.

Health hazards of formaldehyde;

As a slowly released gas, formaldehyde will be absorbed by human skin. The higher the body temperature, the stronger the skin's ability to absorb toxins. If the toxin cannot be excreted in time, it will have adverse effects on various organs of the body.

Inhalation of high concentration formaldehyde can seriously irritate respiratory tract, or cause eye tingling and headache. Regular inhalation of a small amount of formaldehyde can also cause chronic poisoning, and long-term exposure to formaldehyde can even cause cancer such as nasal cancer and lung cancer.

Acute poisoning is caused by exposure to high concentration of formaldehyde vapor, which mainly damages the eyes and respiratory system. It is characterized by blurred vision, persistent headache, cough, hoarseness, chest pain, dyspnea and other symptoms, and even life-threatening due to coma, blood pressure drop and shock.
