致癌物现身“天然”洗剂
Consumer Group's Test for Cancer-Causing Solvent Again Raises Issue of Labeling
消费金融集团对可能致癌的溶剂的测试再次引起了关于溶剂上贴标签的问题的讨论。
Some major brands of shampoo, shower gel and dish soap marketed as "natural" or "organic" contain small amounts of a potentially dangerous chemical, according to a report released yesterday by the Organic Consumers Association.
据报道有机消费者协会昨天公布说一些标上"自然"或"有机"的主要品牌的洗发水，沐浴凝胶和肥皂含有少量的有潜在危险的化学物质。
The OCA, which represents consumers and manufacturers in the natural and organic foods industry, said an independent lab's tests of more than 100 personal-care products sold in natural-food stores found trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane in 46 products. The petroleum-based solvent, which causes cancer in animals, is not added to the items but appears as a byproduct of manufacturing.
在天然和有机食品工业代表消费者和制造商的亚奥理事会称，在天然食品商店一项独立的实验室测试在100多个人护理产品中有46个产品发现微量1,4 -二噁烷。可以造成动物致癌石油基溶剂虽未加入到产品中但可以出现在作生产产品的副产品中。
Some of the products tested had the U.S. Department of Agriculture organic seal, and none of those contained 1,4-dioxane.
有些被检验并且盖有美国农业部有机印章的产品中并没有发现含有1,4 -二噁烷。
The report is the latest salvo in a five-year battle over marketing claims that has divided the booming natural-products industry. The group said the presence of 1,4-dioxane poses a health risk and undermines natural and organic claims by some manufacturers.
最近一轮为期5年的营销官司报告声称已分裂了蓬勃发展的自然资源制品业。该组织说，现存的1,4 -二噁烷会对健康造成危险，并破坏了一些制造商所宣称的天然有机（的谎言）。
But government regulators disagree on whether trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane in personal-care and household products are dangerous. The Food and Drug Administration, which regulates personal-care products, said the amounts typically found in cosmetics "do not present a hazard to consumers."
但政府监管机构不同意在个人护理和家居用品微量1,4 -二噁烷会对人体有危害。规范个人护理产品的美国食品和药物管理局表示，在通常化妆品中发现微量1,4 -二噁烷的"不会危害消费者" 。
The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which regulates household cleaners, has no limit for 1,4-dioxane and evaluates the safety of products on a case-by-case basis, spokesman Scott Wolfson said.
管理家用清洁剂消费者产品安全的委员会并没有任何限制1,4 -二噁烷六环的含量，并没有在个案的基础上评估产品安全，发言人斯科特沃尔夫森说。
California requires that products that contain more than 30 parts per million of 1,4-dioxane carry a warning saying that the contents may cause cancer. The amounts the OCA found were as high as 97.1 parts per million, in a dish liquid.
加利福尼亚州要求的产品中含有了超过百万分之30的1,4 -二噁烷是应该有警示说此产品中含有可能会引发癌症的物质。亚奥理事会发现在一碟液体中1,4 -二噁烷的含量高达百万分之97.1。
Products that the OCA said had 1,4-dioxane include Jason Fragrance Free Satin Soap, Citrus Magic 100 Percent Natural Dish Liquid, Alba Botanical Passion Fruit Body Wash and Whole Foods Market 365 Everyday Value Shower Gel. Products that tested negative included Burt's Bees Body Wash, Dr. Bronner's and Sundog's Magic Orange Lavender Organic Lotion, Clorox Green Works Natural All-Purpose Cleaner, and Dr. Hauschka Body Wash Fresh.
亚奥理事会表示，已1,4 -二噁烷的产品包括贾森香水免费缎肥皂，柑桔魔术百分之百的天然食品洗涤液体，阿尔巴植物园西番莲身体洗净液和整个食品市场365日常价值淋浴凝胶。产品的化验结果呈阴性的包括伯特的蜜蜂身体洗净液， Bronner's and Sundog's的博士的魔术橙薰衣草有机洗剂， Clorox公司绿化工程自然所有用途清洁剂， Hauschka博士香氛清新沐浴。
The OCA receives 90 percent of its funding from individuals and the rest from grants, some of which are from companies. Two of the group's funders make personal-care products, and the OCA tested the products of one, Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps, which did not contain 1,4-dioxane. It did not test products from the other funder, Intelligent Nutrients, because they are not widely available.
亚奥理事会收到的资助中有90 ％的资金来自个人和其余来自赠款的，其中有一些是来自公司。出资者中有两个集团是制造个人护理用品，亚奥理事会测试的了其中的一个产品，是博士布朗纳的神奇肥皂，它不含有1,4 -二噁烷。它没有测试其他资助者产品，如智能营养素，因为它们的应用并不普遍。
