Samples of wastewater from textile industry city and Zhongshan Guotai dyeing and finishing Co., Ltd., located in Zhongshan, Guangdong, were sampled and sent to the Greenpeace Research Laboratory of Exeter University and Holland Omegam independent environmental analysis laboratory.

It was found that the main toxic and harmful substances in waste water were nonylphenol (NP), perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).

These substances interfere with the endocrine of organisms, are toxic to the reproductive system, and have an impact on the immune system and the liver.

Studies have shown that these substances are extremely harmful even if they are small in amount.

According to the environmental protection organization, these toxic and harmful substances have been controlled by the European Union, the United States and related international conventions.

The Chinese government also included nonylphenol in the catalogue of toxic chemicals imported and exported by China strictly in January 2011.

In fact, the use of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and nonylphenol (NP) in the world is gradually decreasing, but its consumption is still increasing in China.

The environmental group demanded that these brands immediately commit themselves to eliminate and eliminate toxic and harmful substances that are used and discharged in their supply chain.

In 2011, China's environmental situation bulletin showed that 70% of rivers, lakes and reservoirs in China suffered from varying degrees of pollution, of which 20% of organic pollutants were caused by industrial waste water discharge.

The environmental protection organization says that as an important sector of China's economic development, the textile industry consumes a lot of persistent and hazardous chemicals and becomes water.
