And other processes.

In the production process of clothing and footwear, there may be subtle residues. A large amount of NPE can interfere with the endocrine of the organism and is toxic to the reproductive system.

As for the use of NPE, the EU and China's regulations are not consistent, and their specific hazards to the body need to be verified.

"Consumers need not worry too much about this subtle residue."

Wan Pingyu pointed out that NPE residues in textiles can be removed by repeated cleaning, and will not cause direct harm to the human body.

Therefore, after buying new clothes, it is best to wash clothes with soap and washing powder. If you can use alkali soaping for dozens of minutes before washing, it will be better.

Especially for children, their new clothes should be cleaned before they are worn.

However, this harmful substance will accumulate in the environment after cleaning, and may also cause harm to the human body.
