Why diapers have fluorescent phenomenon

Some mothers use ultraviolet lamp to irradiate diapers but find fluorescence phenomenon appears on the diapers. Then they conclude that diapers contain fluorescent brightening agents. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.

The appearance of fluorescence under the irradiating of ultraviolet lamp can only indicate that there are fluorescent substances, but the fact is that fluorescent substances are not exactly equal to fluorescent brightening agents. To determine whether it is fluorescent brightening agents and whether it is transportable, further more accurate chemical analysis is needed.

Fluorescent substances exist widely in nature, and also exist in various animals, such as many sea creatures: shrimp, crabs, jellyfish, and fireflies on land. They can glow because of the body contains a variety of fluorescent proteins. Some fluorescent substances are present even in the human body, such as vitamins A, E and B12, hormones and so on.

Many common foods such as fermented foods: soy sauce, Pu 'er tea, white wine, black tea and coffee can also produce fluorescence.

As long as diapers do not contain transportable fluorescent brightening agents , there is no need to worry about the fluorescent phenomenon of diapers.
