What do you think of when you hear the word formaldehyde? Respiratory diseases, skin deterioration, damage to health, and even cancer, should be the first reaction of many readers when they hear formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is an indispensable existence in modern industry, affecting human life in all aspects. However, because formaldehyde is harmful to health, there are often news of diseases caused by excessive formaldehyde, which makes many people talk about "formaldehyde" discoloration.
Formaldehyde - the "deadly hand" of the room
Formaldehyde is a colorless and odorless irritating gas, although the smell can not be smelled, but if the indoor formaldehyde content is seriously exceeded, our human body will still have obvious perceptions, such as eye stinging, nose and throat discomfort, and even dizziness, chest tightness and other symptoms.
Formaldehyde is a typical indoor pollutant, and is classified as a first-class AI-causing substance by the WHO International Institute for the Study of AI (IARC), which fully proves that formaldehyde can cause nasopharyngeal AI, sinus AI, lung AI and blood AI.
Studies have shown that formaldehyde is the fourth most common indoor pollution in terms of disease burden, and according to relevant studies, formaldehyde is the highest among the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) commonly found indoors.
Every year, 112,000 people die from indoor decoration pollution in the mainland, 4 million people die from indoor decoration pollution in the world, of which 900,000 are children; 2 million people in the mainland are sick by formaldehyde every year, more than 50% of them are children under the age of 5, more than 90% of pregnant women and children have different degrees of formaldehyde allergy symptoms after moving into new houses, and more than 90% of white/blood/disease patients in hospitals are due to long-term indoor life with excessive formaldehyde.
A common life experience is: you don't only buy new furniture when you buy a new house, which causes that even if the room has been lived in for a long time, the formaldehyde test results of the room are also qualified, but once new furniture is added, it will cause new formaldehyde pollution, don't mistakenly think that part of the decoration is not a big deal.
"Formaldehyde removal" has never been aimed at "new houses", but formaldehyde pollution. It is not because it is a new house, so it is necessary to remove formaldehyde. It is because of formaldehyde pollution that formaldehyde needs to be removed.
Attention to parents: children have become the biggest victims/victims of excessive formaldehyde!
Because the molecular weight of formaldehyde is larger than the average amount of air, formaldehyde is mainly concentrated in the space range of less than 1 meter on the ground, and this distance happens to be the main breathing zone of children, compared with adults, children have more chance and amount of formaldehyde breathing.
Moreover, children are in the period of growing their bodies, their metabolism is faster, and the amount of air inhaled is almost twice that of adults, so children inhale much more formaldehyde than adults.
In addition, children's physical function development is not yet mature, and personal resistance is poor, and it is easy to become the target of formaldehyde injury.
If your child has the following conditions, then your formaldehyde may be exceeded
Medical studies have proved that excessive indoor formaldehyde has become the main cause of leukemia. In addition to the internal reason that children's immune function is relatively weak, formaldehyde and other harmful gases emitted by interior decoration materials are one of the "killers".
In particular, children with sensitive constitution will show a variety of adverse physical reactions in the case of excessive formaldehyde. If your child has the following conditions, then your formaldehyde may be exceeded.
1. Throat discomfort and frequent coughing
Although no one smokes at home, the baby still often feels uncomfortable in his throat, coughs and sneezes frequently, and even has trouble breathing, which may be due to excessive indoor formaldehyde.
2. It is easy to catch a cold and fever
If formaldehyde exceeds the standard, it will also cause the body's resistance to decrease, which will directly affect the body's health. Especially for pregnant women and infants, the most obvious manifestation is that it is easy to catch a cold, and the body's resistance is very weak.
3. Skin allergies
Formaldehyde has a strong allergenicity, if the baby often has skin allergies, and can not find the allergen, then it is time to consider whether the formaldehyde at home exceeds the standard.
The house "lives until it is rotten" to know: formaldehyde is not afraid of ventilation, teach you a "stupid trick", and formaldehyde will disappear
On the issue of deodorization and decoration, many people put the cart before the horse. Ventilation is not to delay time, but to reduce formaldehyde to a safe range,
Formaldehyde still exceeds the standard for most of the ventilation for more than half a year, mainly due to these two reasons:
The effect of opening windows for ventilation is very limited: when everyone thinks of removing formaldehyde, they will think of opening windows for ventilation, but they find that after opening windows for ventilation for more than half a year, after testing again, the formaldehyde at home still exceeds the standard, why is this?
After opening the window, the air circulation is able to remove formaldehyde in the room. But only when the wind is strong, the formaldehyde can be effectively removed after the window is opened. But many times, even if we open all the windows in our home, there is no wind or little wind outside. Therefore, the effect of opening windows to ventilate to remove formaldehyde is weakened.
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.
