Preface
In life, we are always attracted by all kinds of cheap and affordable goods, but have you ever thought that behind these seemingly cost-effective daily necessities, there may be chilling health hidden dangers?
The 5 carcinogenic daily necessities exposed by CCTV are quietly threatening our health, what are they? Why do cheaper goods contain more carcinogens?
The "poison" hidden on the table
Every day, we are unconsciously in close contact with all kinds of daily necessities, but on the dining table that we are accustomed to, there are hidden health threats, and those brightly colored and inexpensive melamine bowls are one of them.
A CCTV report revealed a shocking fact: the pass rate of melamine tableware on the market is less than 20%. This means that four out of five bowls we use every day may be a safety hazard, a chilling number.
What's more worrying is that substandard melamine bowls may contain a large amount of melamine, which can release harmful substances at high temperatures, and long-term use may increase the risk of cancer, and some unscrupulous businesses in order to reduce costs.
Even replacing melamine resin with cheaper urea-formaldehyde resin is undoubtedly a joke on the health of consumers.
Experts suggest that when buying tableware, be wary of those products whose price is significantly lower than the market price, if you find that the meal has deformation, bubbles or fading, etc., it is best not to buy, in addition, tableware with the "MF" and "QS" logo is relatively safe and can be used with confidence.
However, it is far from enough to rely on the prudence of consumers, the relevant departments should increase the supervision of the market, and severely punish those unscrupulous businesses who disregard the health of consumers for the sake of profit, only to form a virtuous circle of government supervision, corporate self-discipline and consumer vigilance.
After all, a good dinner should not come at the expense of health, and each of us has the right to enjoy the beauty of life in a safe and secure environment.
"Drug clothing" is in charge, and it is difficult to protect health
From the dining table to the wardrobe, danger seems to be everywhere, and those low-priced, fashionable clothing are quietly becoming "poison clothing" that threatens our health.
The results of a CCTV investigation are shocking: the products of a well-known women's clothing brand were found to contain carcinogenic aromatic amine dye benzidine, with a content of up to 540 mg per kilogram, 27 times higher than the standard.
As a carcinogen, benzidine is insoluble in cold water, but in the process of long-term contact, it will still be absorbed by human skin, and what is more terrifying is that it may change the DNA structure of the human body and cause various cancers, such as bladder cancer, renal pelvis cancer and ureteral cancer.
This is undoubtedly a wake-up call for those consumers who pursue fashion, in addition to benzidine, excessive formaldehyde is also a major problem in the clothing industry, recalling the sensational "Victoria's Secret underwear incident" a few years ago, it is not difficult to understand why experts have repeatedly emphasized the importance of clothing safety.
Faced with such a situation, how can consumers choose wisely? Experts suggest that try to avoid those so-called "foreign trade tail list" refurbished clothes, these clothes with a staggering price are likely to be outright "foreign garbage".
In addition, when purchasing clothing, you should pay attention to check the product safety category, according to the national standards, Class A belongs to infant textile products, Class B can be in direct contact with the skin, and Class C can not be in direct contact with the skin.
Adult clothing should meet GB18401 standards, infant clothing should meet GB31701 regulations, and be vigilant for clothing that is too brightly colored, has many prints, is uneven in color, or is easy to fade.
These characteristics often mean that clothing may contain excessive azo dyes, but it is not enough to rely on the careful choice of consumers, and the relevant authorities should increase the supervision of the clothing industry and crack down on those who use harmful substances.
At the same time, clothing companies should also improve their sense of social responsibility, the health of consumers in the first place, after all, fashion should not be at the expense of health, everyone has the right to wear safe and comfortable clothes, self-confidence, only the government, enterprises and consumers work together, in order to build a truly safe and healthy clothing consumption environment.
The hidden dangers behind "beauty".
From wardrobes to dressers, danger seems to be everywhere, and those low-priced, beautifully packaged cosmetics may be quietly becoming a "beauty trap" that threatens our health.
The results of a survey of cheap cosmetics are shocking: a number of cosmetics priced below the market price have been found to contain excessive levels of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury. These are harmful substances that should not be present in cosmetics.
It is a silent threat to the health of consumers, the dangers of excessive heavy metals should not be underestimated, long-term use of cosmetics containing excessive lead can cause neurological damage, and excessive mercury can cause kidney problems.
What's more worrying is that these heavy metals may be absorbed through the skin, accumulate in the body for a long time, and eventually cause irreversible damage to health.
Although these substances can improve skin conditions in the short term, long-term use may lead to a series of problems such as skin atrophy and sensitivity, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for consumers who pursue beauty.
Experts suggest that when buying cosmetics, you should choose formal channels to avoid being tempted by ultra-low prices, and at the same time carefully check the production date and shelf life of the product, and avoid using expired or spoiled cosmetics.
In addition, consumers should also learn to read the ingredient list of cosmetics, and it is best to choose carefully for those products with complex and difficult to understand ingredients, especially for some products that claim to work miracles.
Because they may have added unapproved ingredients, however, it is not enough to rely on consumers' careful choice, and the relevant authorities should increase the supervision of the cosmetics industry and severely crack down on those who produce and sell substandard cosmetics.
At the same time, cosmetics companies should also improve their sense of social responsibility and put consumers' health first, after all, beauty should not come at the expense of health, and everyone has the right to use safe and effective cosmetics to express themselves confidently.
Only by working together can the government, enterprises and consumers build a truly safe and healthy beauty consumption environment, and we should cherish our health while pursuing beauty.
After all, healthy skin and body are the most beautiful makeup, let's work together to create a safe, healthy and beautiful world for ourselves and all those who pursue beauty.
The "invisible killer" in everyday products
From the dresser to the kitchen to the child's toy box, danger seems to be everywhere, and the dish soap, paper towels and stuffed animals we use every day may be quietly becoming the "invisible killer" that threatens our health.
In 2014, CCTV reported a nationwide sampling of dish soap, nearly 7% of which were excessive levels of formaldehyde, a type of carcinogen that increases the risk of cancer if exposed to long-term exposure.
Behind this number are the health risks of countless families, and equally shocking is the chaos in the tissue industry, some paper mills have extremely poor production environments, and the paper towels produced have been detected to contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde, bleach and talcum powder.
Even some paper towels have a serious total number of bacteria exceeded, which can be described as shocking, and what is even more worrying is that these hidden dangers even extend to children's toys, Guangzhou Daily has tested plush dolls in major business districts in Guangzhou.
It was found that 6 dolls participated in the test, without exception, all of which were detected with formaldehyde, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for those parents who love their children. Experts recommend when buying dish soap.
To choose a well-known big brand, pay attention to check the factory name, address and product batch number on the package, for paper towels, you should choose to meet the national standards, the packaging must have the implementation of the standard number, the beginning is GB/T.
As for plush toys, you should choose formal channels to buy, do not be too cheap, but only rely on the careful choice of consumers is far from enough, the relevant departments should increase the supervision of these daily necessities industry.
Crack down on those who produce and sell substandard products, and at the same time, enterprises should also improve their sense of social responsibility and put the health of consumers first, after all, the quality of life should not come at the expense of health.
Everyone has the right to use safe and secure daily necessities and enjoy a better life, and only by working together of the government, enterprises and consumers can we build a truly safe and healthy consumption environment.
While pursuing convenience and affordability, we should cherish the health of ourselves and our families, and let us work together to create a safe and healthy living environment for ourselves and all people.
