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.
This disease is so dangerous that the baby has to draw blood, prick needles almost every day, and often have to do bone punctures. The baby is only three years old, what a sin!
After the incident, after testing, the new house they lived in seriously exceeded the formaldehyde standard!
The harm caused by decoration pollution should not be underestimated, many people know that formaldehyde volatilization time can be up to 15 years, but most people do not know why there is such a long release cycle, and even have doubts.
This figure is summarized after rigorous verification.
The release period of formaldehyde is generally 3-15 years. This also proves the sentence that "formaldehyde volatilization time can be up to 15 years".
And Qing / Hua / Teaching / Professor / Zhang Yin / Ping also revealed: "Both research and life experience have shown that after more than ten years, formaldehyde still cannot be volatilized is very common. Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect that formaldehyde will be emitted clean after a few months of opening windows for ventilation. ”
In addition, the frequent real cases in recent years have verified that this statement is not easy to come by.
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.
Excessive indoor formaldehyde is extremely harmful to the human body!
Formaldehyde is recognized as a potential carcinogen in the world, is the "number one killer" of indoor pollution, and has been classified as a carcinogenic and teratogenic substance by the World Health Organization. The World Health Organization's indoor guideline for formaldehyde is 0.1 mg/m3. Continental's indoor air quality standards published in 2022 use a stricter indoor formaldehyde concentration limit: 0.08 mg/m3.
Specifically, there are the following hazards:
1. Breathing disorders
Formaldehyde can cause damage to the body's respiratory tract, and if you inhale a large amount of formaldehyde, you will have symptoms of sore throat and a burning sensation. After irritation of the respiratory tract, there may be a variety of uncomfortable symptoms such as cough, phlegm, wheezing, etc., and in severe cases, it may also cause pneumonia, chronic bronchitis and other diseases, and even lead to death.
2. Visual impairment
Excessive formaldehyde may also cause damage to the eyes, mainly manifested as itching and burning sensation in the eyes, and will be accompanied by the phenomenon of eye redness. If the eyes are directly exposed to formaldehyde, there is also the possibility of serious optical damage and even vision loss.
3. Skin allergies
After formaldehyde comes into direct contact with the skin, there may be skin allergies, such as rashes, urticaria, etc., and in severe cases, allergic contact dermatitis may occur. If the clothes also contain a large amount of formaldehyde products, it can also cause irritation to the skin, thereby aggravating the symptoms of skin allergies.
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.
"Formaldehyde big households" have exploded!"These 4" daily necessities don't buy home, they are all "formaldehyde sources"
1. Customized furniture
Some custom-made furniture will apply high-density board or solid wood particle board of wood veneer to the door frame of the furniture and the baffle, side panel, baffle, drawer cabinet and other positions that are not easy to observe, resulting in the risk of formaldehyde for buyers who do not know the truth.
2. Paint fuel
It is generally accepted that the most formaldehyde content is paint and gasoline, and now more and more manufacturers will launch some formaldehyde-free environmentally friendly types of paint, but there will still be a small part of formaldehyde in it, and some data also show that most of the leukemia patients are painters, which is also understandable, most of the formaldehyde volatilized in the process of painting, and they are inhaled into the body.
It can be seen that everyone should try to volatilize all the formaldehyde in the home when they usually decorate, so that the air in the home is relatively fresh, which is more conducive to people's survival in it.
3. Textile items
Representatives: curtains, clothing
This is not a problem of glue, but a chemical additive, which is used in production to keep curtains, clothing and other textile items from fading, wrinkle, shrinkage, etc. Originally, this was a very good thing, but the "maddening" thing is that the main raw material of this chemical additive is formaldehyde! Alas, life is really impermanent, and the large intestine contains the small intestine~
4. Plastic furniture
With the development of rubber and plastic products, many things will be made of plastic, because plastic is not only strong and durable, but also cheap.
However, in the manufacturing process of such rubber and plastic products and the raw materials made are likely to contain formaldehyde, and formaldehyde will be slowly released in the process of use.
Especially when the indoor heating is turned on, plastic furniture will release a little more formaldehyde, which will cause adverse effects on the body.
Therefore, it is recommended that we still pay attention to the selection of furniture and try to avoid some plastic furniture.
If you want to remove formaldehyde safely and efficiently, the most effective way is to use formaldehyde removal products. Many people think that the use of products will affect the furniture or family members, and the use of products will not leave stains or marks on the furniture, let alone cause any harm to the family.
Therefore, you can rest assured that you can use formaldehyde removal products, provided that the products you use are guaranteed, and do not use inferior products casually. The following Xiaobian will share with you a few products that can effectively remove formaldehyde, the quality can be assured, it is Xiaobian himself who has used it, let's take a look.
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 to integrate amino acid technology with photocatalyst technology to better deal with harmful formaldehyde in indoor air. 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.
Alvis Formaldehyde Scavenger: The ingredients are safe and reliable, free of oxidants, alcohol and fragrances, very safe for home use, the ingredients in the product will react with the air and convert into carbon dioxide and water. 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. And don't worry about stains or marks.
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.
