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!
Note: These groups of people suffer the most from formaldehyde
There are three main groups of people who are susceptible to indoor air pollution: the elderly, pregnant women, and children.
1. Pregnant women
Studies have shown that formaldehyde exposure during pregnancy may also cause spontaneous abortion of embryos. At the same time, maternal exposure to high formaldehyde concentrations during pregnancy increases the incidence of low birth weight infants, and the risk of exposure is highest in the first 3 months of pregnancy, which can affect embryonic development throughout pregnancy.
2. The elderly
The basal metabolic rate and cellular function of the elderly are declining year by year, and the body's resistance is also weakened, and they are susceptible to environmental influences that induce various diseases
The elderly have deterioration and poor physical fitness, and the risk of carcinogenesis is higher than that of formaldehyde.
Therefore, we should do a good job of indoor formaldehyde treatment, so that the indoor environment can be improved as soon as possible, so that the family can live in a new house as soon as possible. At this time, many people will choose ventilation to remove formaldehyde, but ventilation alone will not work.
3. Children
Children who are growing and developing have a weaker immune system and breathe 50% more than adults by body weight, making them more susceptible to indoor air pollution.
Long-term inhalation of formaldehyde can induce blood diseases in children, including up to 80% of leukemia patients.
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.
The big formaldehyde households were "found out": don't buy these three things home!
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.
We must understand that formaldehyde removal is not a project that can be completed in a short period of time, formaldehyde emission time is generally 3-6 months, it is necessary for us 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.
