In recent years, cancer, leukemia and other diseases have occurred frequently, and whenever I see such reports on news TV, I feel very sad, and the spearhead is pointed at decoration pollution.
This makes many owners of new house decoration panic!
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!
Formaldehyde is one of the most common pollutants in interior decoration. Many times, when people talk about formaldehyde, they can't help but talk about "aldehyde" discoloration? So, why is formaldehyde so terrible?
First, it has a wide range of existence
The problem of decoration pollution has appeared as early as 20 years ago, although in recent years the public's awareness of prevention and control has been increasing, but because the material pollution still exists, the problem can not be fundamentally solved. "The most common source of formaldehyde pollution in households is urea-formaldehyde glue contained in boards, especially wood-based panels. ”
Second, the evaporation time is long
As we all know, the volatilization time of formaldehyde will be very long, especially the formaldehyde contained in decoration materials such as wood-based panels, and the release time can be as long as 3-15 years.
Why does formaldehyde not disappear in the short term, but continues to volatilize? In order to pursue a better degree of adhesion, today's decoration materials usually mix formaldehyde and urea at high temperatures.
In the subsequent use process, the free formaldehyde in the material will be released continuously and slowly.
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.
Formaldehyde "big households" have been exposed: don't buy these 4 kinds of "daily necessities" anymore, and release formaldehyde all day long
1. Glass glue
In fact, glass glue is generally used in the decoration of toilets, balconies, doors and windows in our homes, because glass glue has good sealing, but basically many people also know that these various glues actually contain formaldehyde.
However, when we decorate, we will definitely use glue, which is unavoidable, so we can only suggest that we should choose environmentally friendly materials as much as possible when choosing.
2. Bedding
Among bedding, the most likely to carry formaldehyde is the mattress. Mattresses made of three materials, such as palm, latex and sponge, inevitably use auxiliary materials such as glue in the production process, so formaldehyde is very prone to appear.
Especially for palm mattresses, in order to reduce costs, many manufacturers use glue to shape during processing, which will increase the content of formaldehyde and endanger human health.
Teach you a way to identify the quality of the palm mattress: break the palm mat with your hands, if it is very hard and smelly, obvious glue residue, then basically this is the glue palm mat, don't buy it!
3. Soft package/hard package
Nowadays, it is very popular to do soft/hard bags for decoration, mainly for TV background wall, sofa background wall, bedside background wall, bedside and other positions.....
This design, due to the soft texture of the materials used and the soft colors, can soften the entire space and create a warm and soft atmosphere.
Regardless of whether soft or hard packaging is used, the base material is the MDF used, which is often referred to as MDF, and then the sponge and leather are selected according to the need, so that the finished product can be made.
Once this material is run to the home decoration, it will become the "release source" of formaldehyde, because MDF is a cheap material, most of which are not environmentally friendly, as long as it is used, formaldehyde will inevitably exceed the standard.
This is also why many people's bedside at home always has a smell, but it has not faded for three or five years, which is because of the use of inferior MDF in the later stage, which has become a source of formaldehyde release, which affects human health.
4. Textiles
There are many places in our homes that need to use textile products, such as curtains, sofa covers, bedding four-piece sets, etc., these substances will be added to formaldehyde in the processing process.
The purpose is to make the product more durable and wear-resistant, and also to make the color more full and beautiful.
How harmful is excessive formaldehyde to the human body?
Causes damage to the respiratory system
As an irritating gas, formaldehyde first causes serious interference to the healthy operation of the respiratory system, and formaldehyde can seriously irritate the respiratory system and cause respiratory diseases.
Aggravation of allergic reactions
Formaldehyde irritates the surface layer of the skin, and patients with skin diseases may aggravate the condition and trigger chain symptoms after prolonged exposure to formaldehyde.
Harm to the sense of smell
Although formaldehyde is a molecule with a pungent odor, people can perceive the pungent nose, indicating that the formaldehyde content has exceeded the standard by more than 4 times (people below 3 times cannot perceive it).
If people breathe this toxic and harmful irritating gas for a long time, it will undoubtedly cause serious damage to our olfactory system, which is more likely to cause nasopharyngeal cancer.
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.
