Abstract:
Most of pigments were made of aromatics extracted from cola tar. As early as 1895, aromatics were found to be carcinogenic. In 1974, ETAD had tested 50 more kinds of aromatics and found that 22 had carcinogenic role. In 1994, Germany revised the law of articles of everyday use and clearly stipulated that aromatics were prohibited to be used in production of cloth dye. Bayer had prohibited the use of 118 kinds of pigments such as aromatics, etc. In 1997, the number of prohibited pigments rose to 141. The AATCC in America plans to use environment-protecting pigments instead of aromatic pigments. In order to keep the status of great power in export textile, India had prohibited the use of 116 kinds of pigments and built a monitoring center.Internationally, the trader should show the customer a booklet of instructions indicating that the cloth does not have any pigments, which may be carcinogenic, allergenic or have hormone disrupting characteristics.
