趣味美文:你的运动服竟是有毒的

It might be hard to imagine that exercise could beharming your health. It turns out that even whileyou are doing something healthy, what you arewearing while doing it could be cause for ic health advocates, including Greenpeace andEuropean regulatory bodies that oversee chemicalsafety, are becoming increasingly concerned byevidence that shows a possible link betweensportswear and health issues such as cancer, obesity and developmental disabilities. Whiletoxic chemicals are a longstanding issue in various types of apparel, sportswear presents aparticular problem because sweat and friction can prompt more rapid absorption of toxinsinto the body.

也许对于你来说很难以想象,能会损伤你的身体。然而研究证明当你正在进行锻炼的时候,你的穿着可能会引发上述的担心。包括绿色和平组织和欧洲化学安全性监管机构监管在内的公共健康倡导者,越来越关注证据显示的运动和健康问题如癌症、肥胖和发育问题之间的联系。而有毒的化学物质则是长期存在于不同服装中的一个问题,运动服也因为因为运动的汗水和摩擦可以促进更快速的吸收到体内毒素引发了一个新的问题。

Greenpeace released a report last month cataloguing how apparel companies are failing toregulate the chemicals in the sportswear they Greenpeace report comesafter a slew of research over the past few years highlighting the potential health risks ofvarious chemicals used in sportswear- primarily dyes, solvents, and polyfluorinated chemicals(PFCs), which make items water, grease and stain-proof.

上个月绿色和平组织发布的一份报告中,登记了服装公司未能调节他们制造的运动服化学品含量(的问题)。绿色和平组织的报告是基于过去的几年中的一系列的研究的,突出强调了各种化学品在用做运动服主要染料、溶剂、和用于润滑和防锈的氟化合物(PFCs)的使用中带来的潜在健康风险。

In Greenpeace’s report it promotedAdidas from “greenwasher” to “trendsetter” and bestowed the less complimentary“greenwasher” title on Nike. Following earlier findings by Greenpeace about Adidas’s previouspoor performance, the company sat down with Greenpeace and committed to eliminatinghazardous chemicals by 2020 and being 99% PFC-free by 2017. Manfred Santen, toxicscampaigner for Greenpeace International in Germany, called this “a big step in the rightdirection”. Nike spokesperson Greg Rossiter responded to the report by saying their owngreenwasher title is undeserved. He said that the company phased out long-chain PFCs at thebeginning of this year, requiring that all materials meet the standards laid out in Nike’sRestricted Substances List.

绿色和平组织的报告推动了阿迪达斯从“漂绿者”成为了“潮人”的进程,却未授予尼克“漂绿者”的称号。绿色和平组织早期研究发现,阿迪达斯的前期表现不佳。该公司与绿色组织的谈判中,同意致力于到2020年止减少有害化学物质的使用,到2017年止99%不含氟化合物。德国国际绿色和平组织污染防治项目主任曼弗雷德参天,称这是“一个大方向正确的步骤”。耐克发言人格雷戈罗斯特回应说自己命名为漂绿者的的标题不当。他说,在今年年初公司淘汰长链氟化合物,要求所有材质均符合耐克的受限物质清单的标准。
