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.
Why does formaldehyde exceed the standard at home?
The survey found that as many as 70% of the families who moved into the house for 3-15 years still exceeded the formaldehyde standard!
Superimposed pollution can be simply understood as an additive problem. The measurement standard of formaldehyde is based on the whole room, and the use of environmentally friendly furniture does not represent the overall formaldehyde content of the room.
10 pieces of furniture that meet the formaldehyde standard may create a space with excessive formaldehyde. Any decoration materials and furniture will contain a certain source of pollution to a greater or lesser extent, and will be released slowly over time.
Many people think that formaldehyde is far away from us, in fact, it is not, as an expert environmental experts pointed out: a few inconspicuous things in the home are the "source" of formaldehyde, which should be avoided, but unfortunately too many uninformed people are still buying at home, and it is recommended to throw away or replace them.
The "big formaldehyde household" has broken out: these 4 "daily necessities" are rarely put at home, and formaldehyde is released every day
1. Textile products
There are many places in our homes that need to use textile products, such as curtains, sofa covers, bedding four-piece sets, etc., these substances will be added to formaldehyde in the processing process.
The purpose is to make the product more durable and wear-resistant, and also to make the color more full and beautiful.
Especially for some inferior products, the formaldehyde content will be more, so we must buy qualified products when buying, and don't rush to use them after buying them, it is best to wash them first before using them.
2. Wallpaper and other soft decorations
Many families will choose some wallpaper, blankets and other soft decorations to decorate the family when decorating, and these soft decorations, if the material is not good, will release a large amount of formaldehyde.
Therefore, we should avoid using glass fiber wallpaper and chemical fiber carpet with high formaldehyde emissions, and try to choose environmentally friendly materials.
3. Wrapping film for mattresses
Many people are reluctant to remove the plastic film for new mattresses, because they are afraid of soiling the mattress, so they choose to sleep directly on the plastic film, but they don't know that these films are also the hardest hit areas of formaldehyde.
There are also mattresses that have some synthetic templates in them, which is even more serious.
Therefore, I suggest that you must remove the plastic film, and often take it out to bask in the sun, which can accelerate the release of formaldehyde.
Here we also need to remind everyone that the evaporation period of carcinogens such as formaldehyde is very long, which can reach more than 10 years, so we need to remove formaldehyde as a normalized work, just like cleaning.
4. Wood-based panel furniture
Whether you're moving into a new home or adding new items, buying some new furniture is essential, but there are thousands of furniture brands on the market and the quality varies.
Some owners found that after buying furniture, the smell in their homes increased significantly. The third-party organization found that the formaldehyde exceeded the standard by 10 times, and the formaldehyde in the new furniture bedroom exceeded the standard by 15 times!
Formaldehyde is not a joke! These four abnormal situations at home indicate that formaldehyde exceeds the standard
cough
When moving into a newly renovated home, many parents find that their children often cough incessantly, especially during the winter heating.
This situation is a typical formaldehyde toxicity symptom, because formaldehyde is a highly irritating colorless gas, if the indoor formaldehyde exceeds, it will first cause discomfort in the human eyes, nasal cavity and other mucous membranes, respiratory tract tissues, such as cough, tears, nasal itching, etc.
Chest tightness and shortness of breath
Chest tightness is a common symptom of formaldehyde poisoning and generally occurs in mild or moderate poisoning. Therefore, if you often feel chest tightness and breathlessness at home, you should immediately go to the hospital to determine whether it is caused by excessive formaldehyde. Generally, the newly renovated new house, as soon as the door is opened, it will be accompanied by a pungent smell of chemicals, and the main harmful component of this pungent gas unique to this decoration is formaldehyde.
Skin sensitivity, rash
Formaldehyde not only irritates the respiratory tract , but also causes irritation of the skin. For some people with sensitive skin, it is likely that they will have skin inflammation, rashes, itching and other problems 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.
Formaldehyde is really around us all the time, it is simply an invisible killer, if you have several symptoms in your home,
Xiaobian suggests that you should not move in for the time being, because this will cause great harm to our body, especially if there are elderly people and children at home, we must quickly remove formaldehyde!
In fact, the best way to deal with formaldehyde is to solve it from the source, with scientific and safe formaldehyde scavengers, so that the formaldehyde problem can be well solved.
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 harmful gas atoms and molecules such as formaldehyde on the surface of materials and fixes them, improving degradation and removal efficiency.
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.
