Cotton cloth and

Cotton fiber and human health

Along with the growth of processing in the world clothing industry, the growth of
artificial (synthetic) fiber material is also seen in the textile field. Of course, the
large production of this type of material does not mean that it is harmless to human
health. Since most of the people do not have accurate information about it, they
cannot focus much on the harms of synthetic material. In general, the harmfulness of
synthetic material allows natural cotton fiber to continue to function as the main raw
material in this industry.
We mentioned that synthetic fibers are harmful. But what are synthetic fibers made
from? The primary raw materials of this material are derived from natural gas and
petroleum by-products, coal, ethylene, and similar sources. High molecular
substances are obtained by processing these types of solutions in a complex process.
Fiber is made from the solution obtained from high molecular substances. In the
following section, we will mention the effects of synthetic fiber clothes on health.
 The properties inherent in parts appear during their
operation. Therefore, these properties are called
operational properties. In contrast to operational
properties, the concept of consumer properties is also
used. As a rule, this concept is rather broad. Many
properties inherent to fabrics are taken into account when
evaluating their quality. Thus, it is not taken into account
when evaluating the quality of fabrics from natural fibers.
So from natural fibers
Electrical properties are not taken into account when
evaluating the quality of parts. However, this is considered
the most important property in evaluating the quality of
fabrics made from chemical, especially synthetic fibers.
Why is cotton clothing (cloth)
important?
In general, clothes made of cotton fabric do not squeeze the human body and fit the body well in
any shape. Clothes made of natural cotton fabric do not burden the human body, that is, these
types of clothes are light. In synthetic fabrics, these nuances are different. For example, synthetic
clothes squeeze the human body and are not light. Clothing should not exceed 8-10 percent of
body weight, but synthetic fibers are heavy.
Natural cotton clothes do not have any negative effects on the body as the dye fades late or hard.
Dye comes off easily in synthetic fabrics. If you are wearing clothes made of synthetic material in
hot weather, many substances can transfer from the clothes to your skin when you sweat. Even
when you wash this type of clothes or put perfume on them, confusion with the ingredients of the
clothes is created. If you wear tight synthetic clothing, harmful substances contained in the fabric
can be absorbed into the skin.
Cotton fabric clothes transmit the necessary rays to the body well. Synthetic fabrics do not
transmit the needed radiation to the body. Synthetic materials such as capron and nylon transmit
50-70 percent of UV rays. Cotton fabrics should be given importance in your daily clothes.
The law of the Republic of Azerbaijan "On Cotton Growing"
dated May 11, 2010 was adopted. Chapter VI, which consists of
24 articles, contains the basic concepts of cotton growing, the
legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan on cotton growing, the
directions and tasks of the state policy in the field of cotton
growing, production and primary processing of cotton, technical
cotton production, cooperation in cotton growing, buying and
selling of cotton, the quality of cotton and cotton products.
management, standardization and certification of cotton and
cotton products, examination of the quality of cotton and
livestock, financial support of cotton cultivation, state support for
the production of cotton and cotton products, etc. the issues are
reflected in the law.
 A multi-stage quality control system has been
established. The reception of raw materials and
auxiliary equipment entering the enterprise is
carried out in accordance with the specifications
drawn up on the basis of local and international
normative documents. 100% of manufactured
products undergo visual quality control.
The quality indicators of the products are regularly
checked by the Central Testing Laboratory equipped
with modern equipment. Mutual tests between
laboratories are conducted regularly with foreign
customers. The laboratory personnel participated in the
training organized by international accreditation bodies
on ISO 17025:2017 standard. The Quality Management
System in the enterprise is certified according to the
ISO 9001:2015 standard.
X received a certificate of conformity for
its products within the AZS National
Certification System. At the same time,
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certificates
were obtained for textile and masonry
fabrics, bedding and clothing items
produced in the enterprise to meet
environmental requirements.
The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is a worldwide
consistent, independent testing and certification system
for raw, semi-finished, and finished textile products at all
processing levels, as well as accessory materials used.
Examples of articles that can be certified: raw and
dyed/finished yarns, woven and knitted fabrics,
accessories, such as buttons, zip fasteners, sewing threads
or labels, ready-made articles of various types (garments
of all types, domestic and household textiles, bed linen,
terry products and much more).
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is
recognised as the world's leading processing standard for
textiles made from organic fibres. It defines high-level
environmental criteria along the entire organic textiles
supply chain and requires compliance with social criteria as
well.
Thank you for
attention.
