"Formaldehyde" is related to the safety of people's lives, and "excessive formaldehyde" has always been one of the hot issues that the general public is concerned about, and most of them will also link formaldehyde with "leukemia".
Leukemia, also known as blood cancer, is a physical disease that seriously threatens human life and health.
When it comes to leukemia, everyone may unconsciously think of children, and yes, children are the group with a high incidence of leukemia.
The reason for this is that the physical function of children and adolescents is not fully developed, and some children are easily troubled by leukemia because of their low immunity and immunity.
The main sources of formaldehyde are decoration materials and furniture, and a small amount of formaldehyde is also contained in books, clothing, and toilet paper that can be touched in life. The urea-formaldehyde resin synthesized from it is one of the most common adhesives, which is inexpensive and has excellent viscosity, and is widely used in industry, and China's urea-formaldehyde resin is used first in the world, and a high proportion is used in the manufacture of plates.
It is extremely volatile at room temperature. Although most manufacturers seal the panels in a variety of ways and heat treat them before leaving the factory, it is not possible to avoid the fact that the furniture will continue to emit formaldehyde after it has been sold. Studies have shown that in the plate, the retention time of formaldehyde reaches 3~15 years.
Therefore, before moving in, be sure to check whether the formaldehyde exceeds the standard.
The longer the time, the less formaldehyde?
Theoretically speaking, the formaldehyde release of furniture or various home decoration materials will reach a peak within 3-5 months of opening the package, and it will enter a slow and small amount of release after half a year.
However, the formaldehyde release cycle is long, and there are many factors that affect its release, so in the actual life environment, the statement that "the longer the time, the less formaldehyde" is not necessarily true.
There have been test cases that show that after one year of house decoration, the indoor formaldehyde content is higher than half a year ago.
The "big formaldehyde household" has been found out: the "4 things" in the house are thrown away as much as possible, and formaldehyde is released all day long
1. Wallpaper
In order to make the wall more beautiful, many families will choose to stick wallpaper, which is both beautiful and cheap, and it is easy to replace. However, although the wallpaper itself is free of formaldehyde, the adhesive used for wallpaper contains a lot of formaldehyde!
And because the area of the wallpaper is large, the contact area with the air is also large, and its ability to pollute the air is even stronger.
2. Flooring
The wood of the floor itself will release a certain amount of formaldehyde, but this content is relatively low. Then now the mainstream laminate flooring, because it is bonded by multiple layers of materials, requires a lot of adhesive, and the adhesive will release a lot of formaldehyde!
At present, there are four main types of flooring in the market, namely bamboo flooring, laminate flooring, solid wood flooring and parquet flooring.
Most people use laminate flooring, if the business advertises 0 formaldehyde, don't believe it, these products have more or less formaldehyde.
3. All kinds of cabinets
There are two reasons, one is that the molding of the cabinet itself needs to use a large number of adhesives, and the other is that many cabinets are in a closed state for a long time, and the interior can not be ventilated, and the formaldehyde in the cabinet can not be volatilized in the long run, and formaldehyde will be released into the air between each opening and closing!
If you have these kinds of things at home, Xiaobian recommends that you replace them as soon as possible, or remove formaldehyde as soon as possible, because these items may release toxic gas for "15 years", and if you live in the same room with these "release originals" for a long time, our health will be easily threatened, don't take it seriously!
4. Fabric furniture, such as curtains that block light and wind
In principle, it is not recommended to hang the curtains directly when you buy a new home, you know, all fabric furniture must be treated by dyeing process, in the process of dyeing, colorants will be used, and the basic ingredients of colorants are the adhesives of all evils, and this contains a large amount of formaldehyde.
Therefore, it is recommended that you soak the newly bought fabric products before cleaning, and wait for the smell to be used before use.
Formaldehyde has been classified as a first-class carcinogen, there is no doubt about it. In the face of the renovation and renovation of a new house, remember not to be careless, please make a series of preparations before moving in, and it is definitely too late to "make amends". Cancer rehabilitation injections are not affordable for everyone, and your own safety and health are above all else, so don't be careless.
Excessive formaldehyde will affect the human respiratory system, nervous system, skin and other parts, and the most important thing is that formaldehyde can cause cancer.
1. Inhalation of formaldehyde will directly affect the human respiratory system
Formaldehyde is relatively soluble in water, because the upper respiratory tract of the human body is relatively moist, most of the formaldehyde inhaled into the human body is absorbed in the upper respiratory tract, and a small part will enter the human lungs, causing lung discomfort.
As a result, symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections appear: such as sneezing, coughing, etc. This is also the first manifestation of formaldehyde inhalation in the human body, and the most direct manifestation of long-term exposure to formaldehyde residue in the room is to cause rhinitis and asthma.
2. Formaldehyde can cause degeneration and necrosis of the nervous system
According to studies, formaldehyde can cause degeneration and necrosis of the nervous system, and people who are exposed to formaldehyde for a long time (such as anatomists) may have different degrees of headache, memory loss, reduced sensitivity, reduced coordination function, sleep disorders and other symptoms.
This is also the reason why the hospital dissection room focuses on the treatment of formaldehyde, and the hospital dissection room seals the pathological test samples with "formalin", which is a diluted solution of formaldehyde, and the formaldehyde in the dissection room exceeds the standard by nearly 1,000 times under normal circumstances.
3. It can cause skin lesions and allergic symptoms
According to research, direct skin contact with formaldehyde will cause skin itching, slight rash and other allergic symptoms, especially for patients with dermatitis or eczema, and it is easy to aggravate the condition in an environment where formaldehyde concentrations exceed the standard.
We must understand that formaldehyde removal is not a project that can be completed in a short period of time, formaldehyde emission time is generally 3-6 months, it is necessary for us to continue to remove formaldehyde.
1: Alvis formaldehyde scavenger is a highly efficient indoor air purifier, specially designed for formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia and other harmful substances. Its excellent scavenging efficiency can quickly penetrate and capture formaldehyde hidden inside structures such as plates, and then quickly decompose it into harmless carbon dioxide and water, and this decomposition process itself does not produce new harmful compounds, so it can effectively prevent the volatile release of formaldehyde from the source.
The ingredients of Alvis formaldehyde scavenger are safe and reliable, free of oxidants, alcohol and fragrances, and are very safe for families. 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.
