In recent years, cancer, leukemia and other diseases have occurred frequently, and whenever I see such reports on news TV, I feel very sad, and the spearhead is pointed at decoration pollution.
This makes many owners of new house decoration panic!
This year's 3-year-old Xiaobei (pseudonym) frequently caught colds and fell ill, at first parents thought that the child was young and weak, and did not pay enough attention until the symptoms became more and more serious...
A few days ago, Xiaobei was diagnosed with leukemia in the hospital. It is understood that Xiaobei had lived in a new house that had been renovated for less than three months before being diagnosed, and the doctor considered that the formaldehyde in the decoration materials affected the child's health and induced leukemia.
According to statistics from the Department of Hematology at the Children's Hospital for more than a year, nine-tenths of children who come to the hospital for leukemia treatment have had their homes renovated within six months before the onset of the disease.
The indoor pollution caused by home decoration is very serious, and substandard decoration materials will emit a variety of toxic and harmful substances, including formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, radon, volatile organic compounds (TVOC), etc. And the most common of them is excessive formaldehyde.
In a sense, the real zero formaldehyde is tantamount to a fantasy, the difficulty of the world without formaldehyde is equivalent to the world without thieves, we do our best is nothing more than to minimize the harm value, to the human body can bear the range.
Not only the plates and some glues used in home decoration contain formaldehyde, in fact, some decorative fabric products also contain formaldehyde, such as curtains, inferior bedding four-piece sets, so when we buy household products, don't try to be cheap, and it is best not to buy dark colors, the darker the color, the higher the formaldehyde, because formaldehyde can make the color bright.
The "big formaldehyde household" has been found out! Don't buy these four things at home, they are all formaldehyde "pollution sources"
1. Wooden flooring & panel furniture
All the wood decoration materials in the home are one of the main sources of formaldehyde, and the high formaldehyde content of the board is due to the large amount of colloids used in the production process of the board, whether it is high-density board or medium-density board, the formaldehyde content is not low.
Therefore, when buying boards, we should pay attention to the various indicators of the product, and try to choose products with low formaldehyde content, that is, boards with more wood and better colloid.
Families with conditions can buy pure solid wood furniture to reduce the risk of excessive formaldehyde.
2. Cinquefoil
The treatment of the wall requires the use of putty, and the amount of putty used is very large.
The reason why putty powder contains formaldehyde is the same as that of the board because of colloid, and some low-cost putty powder usually needs to be mixed with a certain amount of glue to better put on the wall, which will greatly increase the risk of excessive formaldehyde.
Therefore, it is recommended that you buy eco-friendly putty that can be used only by adding water. If it is a decoration company, you should also pay special attention to what kind of putty powder is used.
3. Paint and other paint decoration materials
Paint contains formaldehyde, which is the most common in life and the most familiar to everyone, so when choosing a coating, we will choose a coating with less aldehyde content and environmentally friendly and safe materials.
1. Look at the logo: the logo must obtain environmental protection certification. For example, China's highest environmental protection Ten Ring certification mark, Europe's highest environmental protection Blue Angel certification mark, and the United States' most stringent Green Guard environmental protection certification mark.
2. Look at the index: the lower the VOC content of the paint (tends to 0), the higher its environmental protection index.
Especially during the painting of the house, go in and out to check the progress of the decoration, and wear a mask to do a good job of protection. After the house is completed, ventilate it in advance to avoid formaldehyde hazards.
4. Mattresses
We have learned that there are many types of mattresses, among which there is more formaldehyde in palm pads. A large amount of glue is required to shape the palm mat during the production process, which will produce a large amount of formaldehyde, so you need to ask about the type of mattress when purchasing. In addition, the holes of the mattress are relatively sparse, which is easy to release formaldehyde.
How to judge that formaldehyde exceeds the standard? If there are these "abnormalities" in the home, it means that "formaldehyde exceeds the standard"!
(1) Constant cold, coughing, and a significant decrease in immunity
Originally, my physical fitness was very good, but after moving into the new house, I always felt uncomfortable. And symptoms such as chilling, rhinitis, and cough are often present. This is why people should be wary of whether it is caused by excessive formaldehyde. In this case, it is best to carry out formaldehyde treatment in a timely manner.
(2) Skin sensitivity, rash
Formaldehyde not only irritates the respiratory tract but also causes skin irritation. For some people with sensitive skin, it is likely that they will have problems such as skin inflammation, rash, itching and so on after moving into a new house, and it is likely that the formaldehyde in the home exceeds the standard. At this time, it is not only necessary to solve the skin problem as soon as possible, but also to stay away from such a formaldehyde environment.
(3) The eyes are always sore and uncomfortable, and the eyes are watery
Formaldehyde can cause irritation to the throat, lungs, etc., and produce anesthetic effects on the nervous system. It makes people prone to dizziness and discomfort, and may also cause eye soreness and discomfort, frequent tears, and severe inflammation. Generally, in this case, the formaldehyde at home may reach 0.1-0.5mg/m?.
According to the national indoor formaldehyde air hygiene standards, the formaldehyde concentration at home should be reduced to at least 0.08mg/m before being able to move in, so as to better ensure people's health.
For the health of ourselves and our families, we must not ignore formaldehyde, if we want to remove formaldehyde safely and efficiently, in addition to daily ventilation, it is best to match a professional player!
Formaldehyde removal is not a project that can be completed in a short period of time, the formaldehyde emission time is generally 3-6 months, it is necessary for us to continue to remove formaldehyde, the following Xiaobian will share with you a few effective formaldehyde removal products, the first of which is Xiaobian himself used one, the effect is very good.
1: Olvway formaldehyde scavenger:
Allova formaldehyde scavenger adopts a new "amino acid + photocatalyst" formaldehyde removal technology, which combines the characteristics of physical removal and chemical decomposition, and provides an innovative solution for the rapid and efficient degradation of formaldehyde molecules. The core is the fusion of amino acid technology and photocatalyst technology, which reacts with air to produce carbon dioxide and water, and does not produce harmful components to the human body. Through adsorption and chelation, amino acid technology effectively adsorbs and fixes harmful gas atoms and molecules such as formaldehyde on the surface of the material, improves the degradation and removal efficiency, avoids its re-release into the indoor air, and ensures the improvement of indoor air quality.
Olvway Formaldehyde Scavenger: The ingredients are safe and reliable, free of oxidants, alcohol and fragrance, and very safe for home use. Tested by professional testing institutions, the efficiency of this product to remove formaldehyde is as high as 91%, which is a favorable player for removing formaldehyde.
2: Activated carbon:
Activated carbon itself has a certain effect on the adsorption of harmful substances and volatile harmful gases, so it can be used to effectively adsorb formaldehyde, especially in the newly renovated indoor environment or in the case of excessive formaldehyde, it is an effective choice.
Three: Yiya formaldehyde deep scavenger: The composition of this formaldehyde scavenger is mild, which effectively improves the free state and the formaldehyde inside the plate, and the decomposition products are pollution-free.
