Yu Muzhan: radiation protection service market standard introduced slowly

Editor's note: According to a survey, more than half of respondents have given up radiation protection clothing since CCTV reported. According to the chief operating officer of the radiation protection brand “Youjia”, the impact of CCTV’s report on radiation protection clothing “can not be avoided during the frozen period of three months”.

Recently, CCTV's exposure to pregnant women's anti-radiation suits has increased the radiation intensity in clothes. In this regard, operators of radiation protection suits questioned the authority of the laboratory commissioned by CCTV. They believed that CCTV's experiment was not rigorous and had loopholes. The direction of electromagnetic wave emission in experiments did not exist in daily life. Moreover, if radiation protection suits have no effect on radiation protection or even aggravate the effects of radiation, then how do some scientists and technicians wear radiation suits for radiation protection?

A survey showed that more than half of the respondents had abandoned buying radiation suits since CCTV reported. According to the chief operating officer of the radiation protection brand “Youka”, the impact of CCTV’s report on radiation protection clothing “can not be avoided during the frozen period of three months”.

Regardless of what the CCTV report and radiation protection service companies have behind the scenes or have no purpose at all, but it is hard to break countless “quasi-mothers”, and countless pregnant women are at a loss. Some people called for the rapid introduction of the national standard for radiation protection clothing.

However, this standard is not good. First of all, what standard is it? Is it the industry standard for radiation protection clothing manufacturers, or the radiation protection standard for maternity and child care, or is it the technical standard for electromagnetic radiation? Secondly, is the standard balance determined according to the static standard experiment conducted by the laboratory commissioned by CCTV or is it based on the actual life of the manufacturer?

Although modern science can master accurate radiation detection technology and understand the maximum amount of radiation that the human body, especially pregnant women can accept, it is not a simple matter to develop a standard for radiation protection clothing. Not to mention that it takes time to determine these criteria, that is, how to refer to the parameters we listed above, and how much we still do not understand but are necessary parameters, I am afraid it is difficult to determine.

If we hurriedly set a standard of so-called authority, not only is it not necessarily scientific, but it is even more likely to be driven by the interests behind it. It would be even more abhorrent.

The appearance of a new commodity is initially without authoritative standards, and the standard is gradually formed as the market expands. In this case, more participation of manufacturers is normal and inevitable. The problem is because too many advertising campaigns by manufacturers often obscure other voices, especially some scientific voices. This is not conducive to the formation and formulation of scientific standards for new commodities, which in the final analysis is also not conducive to the improvement and expansion of new commodities, and is not conducive to those new commodity operators.

This time, it is still unclear whether CCTV’s report on the use of radiation protection clothes for pregnant women will increase the radiation intensity within the clothes. However, it at least adds a bit of different voice to the overwhelming popularity of advertising in radiation protection clothes. Consumers to identify. Of course, for most consumers, they need a simple and clear answer. It is believed that in time, the authoritative standards for radiation protection clothing will be in various scientific perspectives.
