"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.
"Zero formaldehyde" is really a marketing gimmick for manufacturers!
Formaldehyde is a colorless, toxic gas with a strong pungent odor, and is one of the indispensable materials for furniture manufacturing. Especially for panel furniture, the production process is to add plant fibers to the binder, hot pressing and plasticizing, if in order to prevent pollution, and reduce the amount of formaldehyde, the strength of the board itself will decrease, and the quality of furniture will not be guaranteed. However, at present, in Europe and the United States, more environmentally friendly polyurethane or isocyanate has been used to replace formaldehyde, but because of its high cost, it cannot be implemented on a large scale in our country.
The national inspection standards for formaldehyde content are too relaxed
Each country has formulated strict formaldehyde emission standards for the formaldehyde content in the production and use of plates, and our country's formaldehyde standards are too loose compared to developed countries in Japan and Europe, so that many household products are in the ranks of "qualified", and even some companies can not even reach the E1 level, which eventually forms a hazard.
Because the danger of formaldehyde is not a star, formaldehyde poisoning can cause tearing eyes, conjunctival congestion and inflammation, skin allergies, nasopharyngeal discomfort, cough, acute and chronic bronchitis and other respiratory diseases, and cause nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal disorders.
Formaldehyde is included in the list of carcinogens published by the World Health Organization's International Cancer Research Institute, which includes formaldehyde in the list of a class of carcinogens.
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 types of "daily necessities" don't move to the house, releasing formaldehyde all day long
1. Paint
The oil-based paint often used in interior decoration is one of the important sources of formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde has a low price and is simple to prepare, so it is used as a solvent for oil-based paints by producers, and the formaldehyde content of the national standard needs to be selected when selecting: <=0.1mg/m3 paint to reduce formaldehyde release.
Many people will ask: If you don't paint and paste wallpaper/wall covering, will there be no formaldehyde?
In fact, wallpaper/wallcovering also has formaldehyde, and the necessary glutinous rice glue and base film are the source of formaldehyde release, so you must be careful before pasting wallpaper/wallcovering.
2. Mattress
In fact, even if the formaldehyde content in the mattress is not high, its harm is often far more than other volatile sources, because it is almost zero contact with our human body, and the formaldehyde and other harmful substances it volatilizes will directly enter our human body, and the critical damage is almost 100%.
Therefore, when removing indoor formaldehyde, the mattress is definitely the first object to be treated, and whether it is a palm mattress or a latex mattress, a cotton mattress, etc., it contains harmful substances such as formaldehyde.
3. Blockboard
MDF is indispensable for interior decoration is the board, blockboard and MDF are two commonly used boards, such as the ceiling at home needs to use blockboard, the production of cabinets and other furniture also need to use blockboard, clothes hangers are generally made of MDF.
The reason why they contain formaldehyde is because the strips of wood in blockboard are bonded by glue, and the glue contains formaldehyde, so blockboard and MDF contain a lot of formaldehyde.
4. Glass glue
The last one is glass glue, since the glass glue with the word "glue", it is conceivable that the formaldehyde content is also particularly high, it can be said that the glass glue is the decoration is a large formaldehyde household, but in the usual decoration, glass glue is a necessary decoration material, in the kitchen and bathroom are indispensable for its figure, its role in the sacrifice of fixed and sealed.
If you have purchased too many of these things at home, or if you have bought these things newly, I recommend that you must take a measurement of formaldehyde in your home, because it is likely that these things will become the "formaldehyde source" of continuous formaldehyde release in your home!
1. Itchy and red skin
Formaldehyde can affect human skin. When the skin is exposed to excessive formaldehyde for a long time, it is likely to cause itching and redness.
You should pay special attention to the skin of children at home, because children's skin is more tender and more susceptible to formaldehyde than adults.
2. The child rubs his nose often
When the harmful gases or formaldehyde in the home exceed the standard, then it will enter our body through our respiratory tract. Especially for children at this time, the baby's nose will have some abnormalities, such as itchy nose or uncomfortable nose, etc., at this time, children will often rub their noses.
3. I didn't get sick and coughed repeatedly
When we usually have a cough, most of them think that they have a cold, inflammation of the tonsils, etc. However, if the child is not sick, the child has symptoms such as frequent coughing and uncomfortable throat, which is likely due to inhalation of formaldehyde when breathing.
Because formaldehyde is irritating, long-term contact with the nasal cavity and respiratory tract will cause people to have symptoms such as frequent coughing and uncomfortable throat.
Xiaobian recommends that you use professional formaldehyde removal products, which can quickly and effectively remove formaldehyde, but when we choose formaldehyde removal products, we need to choose carefully to ensure that we choose products with guaranteed quality. The following is to introduce you to a few products, all of which are brands with good reputation and evaluation, and you can refer to them if you need them:
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.
