Fading of towels can also affect health
Why does the towel fade? What kind of adverse effect does the faded towel have on the human body? The staff of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau told the reporter that the color of the towel was faded because of the poor color fastness of the dye used. At present, the dyes in the textile industry are mainly classified into reactive dyes, vat dyes and direct dyes. The first two dyed towels are bright in color, have good color fastness, and contain environmentally friendly ingredients, but they are very expensive. The cost of direct dyes is only one-tenth of the cost of the first two dyes, so it is mostly chosen by small businesses and small workshops. The active ingredient in the direct dye is an aromatic amine substance. According to Dr. Zhang from the First People's Hospital of the city, aromatic amine is one of the 24 carcinogens banned by the European Union. When the human body is in contact with fabrics containing such substances for a long time, it is easily affected by the skin. Absorption, cancer or allergies, its carcinogenic effects can be lurking in the human body for up to 20 years.
At present, many citizens choose the standard of towels mostly by hand, and rarely look at the labels. Because the labels are similar, almost all of them are written with 100% cotton. Insiders pointed out that 100% cotton is not necessarily 100%. There are many towels mixed with other fabrics, which will become very soft after treatment. Therefore, when buying towels, the public must keep their eyes open.
