Decoration is very complicated, each style has its own love, each function has its own needs, even if it is a family, sometimes it is difficult to reach a consensus.
The decoration is also very simple, some "main contradictions", without the mobilization of the whole family, are also the focus of the decoration list marked in yellow and bold, such as environmental protection.
In order to solve the environmental protection problem at home, in the whole decoration process, we will more or less make various compromises, and even pay more costs -
In order to improve the life of his family, Mr. Lin from Jiangsu Province specially bought a 120-square-meter house, and after the renovation, considering that there were more than two years old children at home, he deliberately waited for the house to be vacant for two years and ventilated before moving in.
Moving into a new house was supposed to be the beginning of a happy life, but the child fell ill frequently and was finally diagnosed with leukemia, and the cause turned out to be formaldehyde left over from the renovation of the home.
Some people believe that as long as there is no pungent smell in the home, it means that there is no formaldehyde pollution.
This is a very wrong notion.
In fact, formaldehyde is a colorless gas, it has a special pungent odor, but people have different olfactory thresholds for formaldehyde, some people may be able to smell it at low concentrations, and some people need high concentrations to feel it.
Moreover, the smell of formaldehyde may also be masked by other odors, such as perfumes, air fresheners, etc. Therefore, whether there is formaldehyde pollution can not be judged by whether there is a peculiar smell.
Truth: Formaldehyde smells but is not easy to detect
If you want to know whether there is formaldehyde pollution in your home, the most reliable way is to use a professional testing instrument or find a professional testing agency for testing.
Formaldehyde, as a first-class carcinogen, does not have a safe measurement. Living in an environment with formaldehyde for a long time may also cause lesions due to excessive cumulative inhalation.
Children, in particular, have now become the most affected group of excessive formaldehyde!
The report shows that about 90% of children with leukemia have recently renovated their homes, which is enough to prove that there is a direct relationship between childhood leukemia and formaldehyde.
So why are children more harmed by formaldehyde than adults?
There are two main reasons for this:
- The child's body is in a period of growth and development
All aspects of the child's body are not fully developed, the resistance to external pollutants is very weak, and the respiratory rate of children is much greater than that of adults, so children are more susceptible to formaldehyde.
- The child is of low height
Because formaldehyde is slightly heavier than air, it is generally located at about 1-1.5 meters above the ground, which is the main area of children's breathing, that is, children are more likely to be exposed to formaldehyde than adults, so it will invisibly increase the amount of formaldehyde inhaled by children, so it is not difficult to understand why children are more susceptible to formaldehyde.
These 3 "abnormal" situations at home indicate that "formaldehyde exceeds the standard"
The first point: the throat is uncomfortable, and I always sneeze
As we all know, our respiratory tract is very sensitive, we will feel uncomfortable after inhaling formaldehyde, formaldehyde concentration exceeds a certain range, it may cause asthma, the symptoms at the beginning are no different from colds, the throat will be uncomfortable, will cough and sneeze.
The second point: chest tightness and shortness of breath
After formaldehyde poisoning, there will be problems with smell and liver function, and harmful substances will block the respiratory tract after entering the body, making people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, poor breathing, and the chest will be as uncomfortable as a stone.
Point 3: Dry and itchy eyes
Once formaldehyde poisoning, there will be an obvious reaction, that is, the skin will feel like a mosquito bite, it will feel very itchy, and at the same time, you will find that there are many red spots on the body, resulting in allergic symptoms.
The other is that because the eyes are often exposed to the environment, they can be "close contact" with formaldehyde, which will cause damage to the retina, which will make us feel very dry and cause tears all the time.
The "big formaldehyde household" has found out: these three daily necessities are rarely moved to the house, and formaldehyde is released every day
1. Mattress
There are many types of mattresses, among which palm pads have a lot of formaldehyde.
The palm mat is made of coconut palm, because the coconut palm is very soft and has weak support, so a large amount of glue needs to be used in the production process to set the shape, and it will contain a lot of formaldehyde, especially some cheap palm mats, not to mention the formaldehyde content. In addition, the pores on its surface are very sparse, so it is easier for formaldehyde to be released.
Therefore, if when buying a palm mat, the feeling of breaking it by hand is very hard and there is glue residue, you can basically determine that it is a glue mat.
2. Wallpapers
Everyone not only requires safety and comfort in the living environment, but also artistic beauty has gradually become a trendy pursuit. This makes wallpaper begin to enter the lives of thousands of households.
Many people think that the wallpaper on their walls is not only cheaper than tiles, but can also be changed at will. But you should understand that if you accidentally choose cheap and low-quality wallpaper, then the danger is great.
Although many wallpaper processes are constantly improving and improving, inferior wallpaper still exists. When inferior wallpaper is glued, the harmful substances produced are not only formaldehyde, but also benzene.
3. Resin tableware imitating ceramics
Many families choose imitation ceramic kitchenware to avoid being broken. However, some merchants will choose inferior and toxic formaldehyde resin in order to reduce the cost of products.
This substance may release formaldehyde when it comes into contact with hot or relatively hot food. Formaldehyde can also leach into food and pose a health threat to people.
