News background: [Xiamen Customs intercepted 500 tons of Korean used clothing: some from the morgue with blood] seized 3596 packages of Korean used clothing totaling 500 tons. Many of them have obvious wear marks and stains, some of them have blood stains, and a large number of children's clothes have been found Most of these old clothes come from foreign second-hand markets, mortuaries and so on. They are not sterilized and carry a large number of infectious bacteria. They are prohibited from importing foreign garbage by the state.
Smuggling and selling foreign garbage clothing is a profiteering industry, driven by interests, related criminal activities are so rampant. From the mortuary to the second-hand market, foreign garbage has become the final list of foreign trade, which simply ignores the life of consumers. The so-called original list of foreign trade on Taobao doesn't know what the purchasing channel is. I hope that many consumers must polish their eyes and buy clothes through regular channels!
The harm of foreign garbage clothing
According to medical experts, these smuggled old clothes contain a large number of pathogenic pathogens. If people with weak resistance are exposed to these pathogens, they are likely to cause diseases in the intestines, respiratory tract and other aspects, seriously endangering public health and safety.
Fujian Fiber Inspection Bureau has carried out microbiological tests on the "foreign waste" clothing reference test methods obtained by the media Related article link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/jiankang.html
The results showed that: compared with the ordinary new clothes, foreign garbage clothes contain more bacteria. There are more than 5600 bacteria in one garment and more than 1200 in the other two, while the number of bacteria in ordinary new clothes is only about 200.
According to the relevant literature, these clothes may also contain various infectious sources of tuberculosis, plague, cholera and other diseases, some of which have serious hazards that cause large-scale epidemic and endanger human health. But some pathogenic bacteria can't be eliminated completely by general washing method.
The hidden dangers of foreign garbage clothing are mainly reflected in two aspects: on the one hand, it is a source of pollution. When it is stored or washed together with new clothes, it will produce cross pollution Related article link: http://www.4hw.com.cn/life/jiankang.html
On the other hand, the bacteria it carries may infect people with various skin diseases or other diseases. The main reasons for these potential safety hazards may be: first, there is a problem in the source, carrying a large number of bacteria; second, there is no special disinfection and sterilization treatment (high-pressure sterilization, disinfection solution disinfection and other methods); third, the transportation and storage process is polluted.
