Radiation protection clothing will have standards to be safer and more reliable

Today, there are many radiation-proof clothes and fire-resistant clothes on the market. But are these functional clothes really useful? A few days ago, the national functional textile standardization work conference had been held. The purpose was to discuss and pay close attention to setting standards for functional textiles. In other words, in the future, radiation protection and fire protection garments will have standards and safety.

Radiation protection quality is uneven

In functional clothing, the radiation protection garments that can be provided for pregnant women must be familiar to everyone. A few days ago, reporters visited some stores and wholesale markets in Chengdu and found that the quality of their prices was uneven.

In the maternity dress counter of Chunxi Road Pacific Shopping Mall, a salesperson introduced a small vest-style radiation protection garment to reporters: “The clothes have metal wires or silver ions, and they can play a role in radiation protection. Radiation protection clothing is about between 500-600 yuan, and the silver ion radiation suit price is higher, probably between 700-1000 yuan." Sales staff told reporters that the product has a special test report, but not at the mall Inside, the reporter could not see it.

In front of the counter of the maternity dress at Ito Yokado's Chunxi store, the sales staff also gave a demonstration to the reporter. He placed the mobile phone on the clothes, then called the phone and tested it with a special instrument for detecting radiation, showing that the radiation was 0 and the mobile phone. Dial directly, then the radiation display data is about 50.

Subsequently, the reporter went to the lotus pond clothing wholesale market, where there are also a lot of radiation protection clothing. A shop owner told reporters that the radiation protection service here is between tens of yuan and 100 yuan. The reporter found that these garments do not have any labels, and there is no explanation.

Consumer purchase mental comfort

However, Ms. Chen, a prospective mother, told the reporter that in fact, she purchased her radiation protection suit as a herd mentality, and she did not understand whether it had the function of radiation protection. "It would rather be credible, not trustworthy, and it is worth the psychological comfort of the figure."

Ms. Yang also crossed radiation protection suits during pregnancy. She said: "Too strong radiation will have adverse effects on the development of the fetal heart and brain. Wearing radiation suits is not a major defensive measure. The key is to pay attention to yourself."

It is understood that there are no relevant standards for these so-called anti-radiation maternity dress products on the market. Due to the lack of relevant measurement standards, the relevant departments cannot detect and supervise their protective performance.

The relevant staff of the Sichuan Provincial Fiber Inspection Bureau told reporters that the radiation generated by products such as mobile phones does not have a great impact on the body. There is no scientific basis for proving the shielding effectiveness of clothing using radiation-proof maternity dress wrapped in mobile phones. In addition, although people wear radiation protection clothes, our heads and hands are not protected and will not play a significant role.

The association is paying close attention to setting standards

Fortunately, such problems can be solved quickly. Recently, more than 60 experts and scholars from all over the country gathered in Nanjing to attend the National Conference on Functional Standardization of Textiles held by the China Textile Industry Association. The purpose was to discuss and pay close attention to formulating standards for functional textiles.

According to Director Sun of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China Textile Industry Association, China's functional textiles have a certain scale, relatively complete varieties, improved functions, and relatively stable development. However, there are still some defects in the functional evaluation methods and standards of some functional textiles.

"The premise is that a range of functional textile standards must be defined, depending on the functionality of the product. Its function can be broadly divided into three categories: taking functional categories (such as comfort, beauty), protective functions, and health functions. Class.” Director Sun pointed out. In addition, in order to create an authority to measure the "effects" of functional textiles, the Textile Testing Institute of Jiangsu Province will focus on the construction of textile functional testing laboratories to provide test basis for product quality.
