■ Adidas brand clothing were found containing “environmental hormones” (NPE) newspaper reporter Zhouxin She

8 23, an international environmental group released called “poison hidden in clothing – global brand clothing toxic residues investigation “report. The report noted that Adidas, Li Ning and other international and domestic famous brand products contain “environmental hormones” nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE).

report came out, it immediately triggered public concern. NPE what harm the human body? Products containing NPE how many? Adidas and other companies which they should respond?

three brand “wiped out”

pollution and prevention project of the organization the main Renzhang Kai, this year from April to May, the organization China, Britain, Argentina and other 18 countries purchased 15 samples of 78 brands of clothing, including sportswear, casual clothing and footwear. The origin of these samples involving China, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, 13 textile-producing countries.

“These samples will be sent to a qualified third-party laboratory testing, the results show, including Adidas, etc., two thirds of the samples were detected to contain NPE, NPE detected in the samples in 14 brand. “Zhang Kai said.

According to the report, these 14 brands are: Adidas, Li Ning, Nike, CalvinKlein, Converse, G-StarRAW, H & M, Kappa, crocodile, Abercombie & Fitch, Puma, RalphLauren, Uniqlo and Younger.

which, Li Ning, the four samples, three samples and Younger Abercombie & Fitch detected in all three samples NPE, the three “routed” brand.

NPE what it is? How does it harm?

Materials Science and Engineering, Xiamen University, said Professor Dong Yanming, NPE is a very important non-ionic surfactant, a good wetting, emulsifying, dispersing, decontamination and antistatic ability, anti-hard water performance than good. It is widely used in detergents, textiles, pesticides, paint, leather, construction materials, paper and other industries.

NPE is the polymer itself is not dangerous, but the NPE in the natural environment will react under certain conditions, nonylphenol (NP). This is an endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, known as “environmental hormones” – once it is released into the environment, will be present in the environment for a long time, and can enter the food chain. Thus if the use of related businesses NPE, the wastewater will threaten the environment and human health.

“experiments have shown that when the NP concentration of 0.02 milligrams per liter, the concentration is very small, it can inhibit the development of male seminal vesicle, prompting male feminization.” Zhang Kai said. ” It can enter the food chain, and progressively enlarge up to a threat to our humanity. “

not limit our use

precisely because of NPE and NP human and environmental harm, the European Union issued in 2005, “REACH legislation” (ie, chemicals Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction, the European Union for access to their markets for preventive management of all chemicals regulations), the regulations have been on June 1, 2007 into effect. The regulations prohibit the use in the textile manufacturing industry, NPE and NP.

the Chinese government earlier this year, also NPE and NP to join the “China severely restricted the import and export of toxic chemicals directory.”

“But for the NPE and NP in the domestic use and emissions, China has not issued the corresponding regulations.” Zhang Kai said, “that is, the current production of China’s textile industry, has not set limits the use of NPE and NP. “

Edilining response questions

8 月 23 evening, Adidas said in a statement reported in the mentioned results indicate that the NPE Adidas concentration far below the target value, the detection of most of Adidas products did not detect the NPE (9-article inspection samples of the five are not with NPE) . NPE Adidas has always strictly adhere to the standard concentration of 100ppm, which is to implement best practices within the industry.

Adidas said that since 1998, the Group began implementing the “Restriction of Hazardous Substances” policy, aimed at improving the environmental impact of the supply chain.

In addition, Adidas said in mid-June, there have been reports that adidas suppliers in China Ningbo Younger Group Ltd. to discharge pollutants into nearby rivers. Adidas Group has been investigating this. Proven, Adidas Group and Youngor Group’s current partnership is limited to cutting and sewing of clothing, did not involve access to and may lead to fabric dyes, chemicals use, and water treatment technology and other issues.

8 24, Li Ning, the company announced in its official website, “Li Ning’s products meet the EU REACH standards on the statement,” saying that all products meet EU standards. The statement said that the report of the sample of four Li Ning products NPE content of less than 0.1% in line with EU standards.

But a report released this statement was challenged side. “We believe that Li Ning’s misreading of the regulations.” Zhang Kai said, “” REACH regulation “in the NPE concentration limit of 0.1% is not for the final product, but for the chemicals used in production, while the Li Ning brand in the four survey pieces of clothing were detected residual NPE, including a concentration as high as 680 mg/kg, which indicates that toxic and hazardous substances in NPE Li Ning apparel production process used and emissions, and river pollution. “smell smile
