SEVERAL experts from an industry association rebuked an investigation by the China Central Television claiming anti-radiation clothing for pregnant women did more harm than good.
The clothing was effective in blocking most electromagnetic waves and it was impossible to trap the waves inside it, said Li Guodong, a consultant with the National Technical Committee on Electromagnetic Shielding, at a press conference in Beijing, Beijing News reported today.
Li accused the experiment conducted the CCTV of being inaccurate.
CCTV's program said once the electromagnetic waves sneaked into the clothing from sleeves, they got trapped and there was no outlet for them to disperse, bringing health risks to mothers-to-be.
Li explained very few waves could enter the clothing and its energy was weakened each time it was reflected inside. The waves eventually turned into heat, which wouldn't cause harm to human body.
These products came on to the market in the late 1990s and have now grown so dominant most mothers-to-be believe they are essential.
Despite decade-long growth and a prosperous market, China currently has no industry standard for the so-called protective clothing.
