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.
The indoor pollution caused by home decoration is very serious, and substandard decoration materials will emit a variety of toxic and harmful substances, including formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, radon, volatile organic compounds (TVOC), etc. And the most common of them is excessive formaldehyde.
In a sense, the real zero formaldehyde is tantamount to a fantasy, the difficulty of the world without formaldehyde is equivalent to the world without thieves, we do our best is nothing more than to minimize the harm value, to the human body can bear the range.
Do you really know about formaldehyde?
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.
In addition to concentration, different people's sense of smell is different, and it is related to whether they smoke or not, the purity of the background air, previous olfactory experience, and even psychological factors.
For example, for non-smokers, the odor threshold is low, and the smell can still be smelled when the indoor formaldehyde concentration does not exceed the standard; For adults who smoke, the odor threshold is high, and when the indoor formaldehyde concentration has exceeded the standard, formaldehyde is still not felt.
Many people don't know that formaldehyde can be released for up to 15 years!
The harm caused by decoration pollution should not be underestimated, many people know that formaldehyde volatilization time can be up to 15 years, but most people do not know why there is such a long release cycle, and even have doubts.
This figure is summarized after rigorous verification.
The domestic literature specializing in the study of formaldehyde development law mentions: Japan/Ben/horizontal/coastal/national/legislative/university professional studies show that the release period of formaldehyde is generally 3-15 years. This also proves the sentence that "formaldehyde volatilization time can be up to 15 years".
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 broken out: these 4 "daily necessities" don't buy at home, they are releasing formaldehyde every day
1. Customized furniture
Some custom-made furniture will apply high-density board or solid wood particle board of wood veneer to the door frame of the furniture and the baffle, side panel, baffle, drawer cabinet and other positions that are not easy to observe, resulting in the risk of formaldehyde for buyers who do not know the truth.
This type of plate is very subtle, if you want to identify it, it is important for parents to carefully look at the cross-section, joint or part of the hole of the plate.
2. Paint fuel
It is generally accepted that the most formaldehyde content is paint and gasoline, and now more and more manufacturers will launch some formaldehyde-free environmentally friendly types of paint, but there will still be a small part of formaldehyde in it, and some data also show that most of the leukemia patients are painters, which is also understandable, most of the formaldehyde volatilized in the process of painting, and they are inhaled into the body.
It can be seen that everyone should try to volatilize all the formaldehyde in the home when they usually decorate, so that the air in the home is relatively fresh, which is more conducive to people's survival in it.
3. Textile items
Representatives: curtains, clothing
This is not a problem of glue, but a chemical additive, which is used in production to keep curtains, clothing and other textile items from fading, wrinkle, shrinkage, etc. Originally, this was a very good thing, but the "maddening" thing is that the main raw material of this chemical additive is formaldehyde! Alas, life is really impermanent, and the large intestine contains the small intestine~
4. Plastic furniture
With the development of rubber and plastic products, many things will be made of plastic, because plastic is not only strong and durable, but also cheap.
However, in the manufacturing process of such rubber and plastic products and the raw materials made are likely to contain formaldehyde, and formaldehyde will be slowly released in the process of use.
Especially when the indoor heating is turned on, plastic furniture will release a little more formaldehyde, which will cause adverse effects on the body.
Therefore, it is recommended that we still pay attention to the selection of furniture and try to avoid some plastic furniture.
When the following 4 situations occur, it means that the indoor "formaldehyde exceeds", and it must be paid attention to
Anomaly 1: Chest tightness
If the formaldehyde content in the family is too much, it may cause poisoning, in mild or moderate poisoning, children generally appear first is breathless, because formaldehyde is very irritating, will stimulate the lungs, so that the function of the lungs becomes poor, but also accompanied by dizziness, and this symptom will last for a long time, if your child recently told you that he is breathless, you must not ignore this problem.
Anomaly 2: Eye discomfort
The eyes are fragile and sensitive parts, usually when they encounter irritating gases, the eyes will first become red and swollen, tearful, like formaldehyde also has a strong irritation, so although formaldehyde can not be seen or touched, it will stimulate the eye mucosa, so that children have the above reactions.
Anomaly 3: Symptoms of a cold
Children are still in the growth period, and their resistance is very weak compared to adults, so they react more to harmful substances, if the content of formaldehyde in the home is too high.
So as we said earlier, formaldehyde is an irritating substance, which will irritate the child's respiratory tract along the breath, and then cause symptoms such as cough, runny nose, sore throat, etc., plus it will lead to a low immune system, so children will not only have symptoms of colds, but also be more prone to colds, and their ability to protect against cold will become poor.
Now because of the spread of the epidemic, many parents will always worry about whether it is related to the epidemic after seeing their children have cold symptoms.
Anomaly 4: Dizziness
Formaldehyde will not only attack the body's immunity, but also attack the body's hematopoietic system, once the hematopoietic system is damaged, not only the human body is prone to insufficient blood supply, but also may get leukemia, and children's body functions are weaker, so it will be relatively easier to get sick. If the child has symptoms such as dizziness and drowsiness, it means that he may be anemic, so you should consider whether it is caused by formaldehyde poisoning.
In fact, when we remove formaldehyde, the most effective way is to use formaldehyde removal products, the use of products will not leave stains or marks on the furniture, and will not 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 the integration of amino acid technology and photocatalyst technology. 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.
Olvway Formaldehyde Scavenger: The ingredients are safe and reliable, free of oxidants, alcohol and fragrance, and very safe for home use. 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.
