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!
Although formaldehyde is irritating, there are reports that the odor threshold of formaldehyde, that is, the minimum concentration that people can smell is 0.05~0.5mg/m3, but in general, the minimum concentration of odor that most people can smell is 0.2~0.4mg/m.
To put it simply: the formaldehyde concentration at home may have exceeded the standard, but we can't smell it. In another case, the pungent smell is not necessarily formaldehyde, but may be another gas.
Why do older generations never remove aldehydes?
In fact, there may be a "digital divide" in the understanding of formaldehyde among middle-aged and elderly people
When it comes to people who are most worried about formaldehyde, we may think of the post-80s and 90s -
As the pillars of the family, they often face practical problems such as decorating new houses and raising children, and these problems often have to take into account the hazards of formaldehyde. Our findings also confirm that they are highly concerned about formaldehyde.
According to the survey, the most worried about formaldehyde is the middle-aged and elderly people aged 51~60.
They are at retirement age, most of their lives stay at home, and they are not familiar with electronic products, they have limited access to formaldehyde-related knowledge, and this generation of parents has a weak sense of health prevention, and will not pay attention to the harm of indoor decoration pollution.
No matter how the children explain the harm of formaldehyde and other decoration pollution, they do not think so, their thoughts are still stuck in the past when they lived in while decorating, and formaldehyde seized such a loophole and constantly endangered the health of the elderly.
Many people think that formaldehyde is far away from us, but in fact, as an expert environmental expert pointed out: a few inconspicuous things in the house are formaldehyde households, and you must be careful when buying and using.
The "big formaldehyde household" has exploded
1. [Soundproof cotton]
Many friends may not notice the problem of sound insulation cotton when decorating, but in fact, we may use sound insulation cotton when decorating, sewer pipes and decorating walls and floors to achieve sound insulation and heat preservation.
Soundproof cotton is generally made of glue foam, so it also contains a large amount of formaldehyde.
Although the soundproofing cotton may be hidden behind other building materials, it does not mean that the soundproofing cotton will not release formaldehyde.
2. [Floor]
Many homes are laying the kind of composite wood flooring, because it is more economical, and the temperature will be maintained for a longer time after the underfloor heating is turned on. But such a floor, in order to do waterproof and brightness will be painted, and a lot of glue is also used when assembling, these things contain a lot of formaldehyde, if you accidentally buy a substandard, then there may be several times the risk. Being in such an environment for a long time can make it easy for family members to get sick.
3. [Wooden Door]
Many families will install that kind of thick wooden door, and such a door also needs to be painted, and the paint contains formaldehyde, and if the door is not solid wood, there will be a large amount of formaldehyde. There will be doors and windows in every bedroom, so that formaldehyde will volatilize in large quantities when the door is closed and sleeping every night, and people who inhale too much formaldehyde will be prone to skin diseases and even leukemia.
When the following three situations occur, it means that the indoor "formaldehyde exceeds", and it must be paid attention to
Scenario 1: The child is depressed
The resistance of children themselves is relatively weak, and they are particularly sensitive to changes in the environment, and if the indoor formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, then it may cause great harm to children.
After moving to a new home or changing to a new environment, you must pay attention to the state of the children at home and some physical changes.
If you find that the child suddenly becomes very honest, depressed, has no vitality, and does not like to jump and jump as usual, it is likely that the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, which affects the health.
When children are unwell, they will show sluggishness, and it is difficult for them to describe this discomfort, so parents and friends are reminded that when they find some abnormal conditions in their children, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to protect their children's health.
Scenario 2: The family has skin allergies
In the case of excessive indoor formaldehyde content, it is easy to cause skin allergy and other symptoms, so when the family has skin sensitivity, it is likely to be caused by high indoor formaldehyde content, which also needs to be paid attention to.
Some friends may have itching, rashes and other conditions after moving to a new home, some friends will feel that this is caused by the change of seasons or some other factors, and few people will consider the impact of formaldehyde.
In fact, in the case of excessive indoor formaldehyde content, it will also cause symptoms of skin sensitivity, so everyone should also pay special attention.
The third condition: often feel soreness and discomfort in the eyes
Formaldehyde has a certain irritation, and will also produce some intoxication to the nervous system, if the indoor formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, then it is easy to have soreness in the eyes, tears and dizziness.
If the family often has the above problems after moving to a new home, then it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in time, it is best to move out of the new house as soon as possible, and then consider moving to a new home when the indoor formaldehyde content reaches a qualified value.
For the health of our families, we must remove formaldehyde in a timely manner, but before that, we must understand that formaldehyde removal is not a project that can be completed in a short time, and the formaldehyde emission time is generally 3-6 months, so we need 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.
