Just as we live in the fashion world, the pollution of the environment and the spread of disease have caused us to withdraw from the virtual and dreamy state and re-examine our real life, just as when we remove our makeup on the face and expose us. Like all the shortcomings, the stylish shell is stripped, the black, red and blue sewage flows, and the stench and irritating smell everywhere are telling us that our life is being eroded by “fashionâ€...
The environmental destroyers Xintang and Gu Rao, two famous “professional townsâ€, have highly concentrated jeans and underwear industries. One is producing more than 60% of China's denim clothing; the other can produce 200 million bras a year. These two very prosperous towns, while producing fashion and sexy clothing, are also a microcosm of the pollution problem in the Chinese textile industry and even the entire industry. The person in charge of the environmental protection organization's water pollution control project stated that from August to October 2010, the environmental protection team's staff randomly selected 11 locations in Xintang and Gujiao and collected 21 water and sediments. The samples were sent to third party independent laboratories for testing and heavy metals were found in 17 samples. The contents of heavy metals lead, copper, and cadmium in the three sediment samples from Xintang exceeded national “Soil Environmental Quality Standardsâ€, in which one of the sediment samples had a cadmium exceeding 128 times, and one sample had a higher pH of 11.95. In many parts of the two towns, once clear rivers now transpire, and the air is filled with odors or irritating odors. There is no fish in the river, people can no longer drink river water, laundry and irrigation. Local residents do not leave their masks, but each time they approach the river, the smell of the river will make them dizzy, vomit, and even suffocate.
Xintang and Gu Rao are just a microcosm of potential pollution in the textile industry. According to the statistics of the China Textile Industry Association, there are 133 “fabric specialty clusters†in China. The textile industry is widely distributed in China and has a large scale. The pollution of Gu Rao and Xintang is only the tip of the iceberg in the entire industry. In the past 30 years, the textile industry is one of the most important industries in China and even in the world. At the same time, the textile industry has also become the third largest industrial wastewater discharge in the country. At present, according to national emission reduction requirements, local governments and production companies have already known COD emissions from sewage, but lead, cadmium, and other heavy metals used in the dyeing of textiles and garment printing and dyeing industry will still be present at the bottom even through wastewater treatment. In the mud, it cannot be solved. At present, China only establishes the certification of non-mandatory eco-textile Chinese environmental labeling for enterprises. Because eco-textiles use alternative materials for heavy metal dyes to increase production costs, companies rarely use them. Moreover, nonylphenol (NP), octylphenol (OP), and PFOS, known as "environmental hormones," are also widely used in textile processes, and these substances act on human endocrine secretion. system. As one of the most important industries in China and even in the world economy, behind the huge economic and social role of the textile industry and its sexy and fashionable image, there is an unsustainable cost of pollution.
Viral communicators seem to people, clothing and environmental protection, "low-carbon" does not pull the slightest relationship. However, many of the raw materials used to make clothing, such as cotton and ramie, are heavily polluted with pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and herbicides during the planting stage. When the raw materials are stored, they must use preservatives, fungicides, etc. Anti-mite agents; use oxidants, catalysts, and detergents in the weaving process; azo dye intermediates, formaldehyde and halide carriers, and heavy metals used in printing and dyeing.
These residual chemicals are continuously released during the use of textiles and clothing, causing various hazards to the human body: skin irritation (pruritus, redness), blood spots or purpura on the skin; some people may suffer from ecological or metamorphosis Reactive dermatitis and contact dermatitis; Some people feel respiratory discomfort, dry cough, and some asthma symptoms; severe cancer induction. According to a survey conducted by Japan, one of the reasons why Japanese women suffer from bladder cancer is because they wear synthetic fiber underwear.
Clothing also causes some pollution to the environment. According to calculations by the environmental resource management company, a 400-gram polyester trousers contract is assumed to produce raw materials in Taiwan, China, to make garments in Indonesia, and finally shipped to the UK for sale. Assuming that the service life is two years, washing machines that share warm water of 50°C are used to wash 92 times; after washing, they are dried by a dryer and then an average of two minutes is used for ironing. In this way, the energy it consumes during its “life†is about 200 kWh, equivalent to 47 kg of carbon dioxide, which is 117 times its own weight.
