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.
Many people think that when ventilating their new home, they only need to open the doors and windows of the home to remove formaldehyde. In fact, this idea is very wrong, although simply opening doors and windows will also help to reduce formaldehyde, but its efficiency is very low, maybe others ventilate for a month, and we need three months, and it is not the same as other people's homes are so clean!
The reason why the new home has been vacant for a year, and formaldehyde has risen instead of falling
Poor quality of building materials
In order to pursue profits, some unscrupulous businesses use inferior materials for decoration. These materials have high formaldehyde content and a long release cycle, which will continue to release formaldehyde even when it is empty.
The indoor environment is closed
After the renovation of the new house is completed, the formaldehyde concentration gradually increases due to the closed doors and windows and the lack of indoor air circulation. During the one-year vacancy period, due to insufficient ventilation, the formaldehyde concentration remained even higher.
The effects of temperature and humidity
Temperature and humidity also have a great influence on formaldehyde release. In a high temperature and high humidity environment, the release of formaldehyde will increase. As a result, formaldehyde concentrations may be higher in new homes during the summer or rainy season.
Formaldehyde is not only deeply hidden, but also has a volatilization period of up to 3~15 years, which is even more harmful to the health of pregnant women and children!
If you find that your child has the following symptoms, it means that the claws of formaldehyde have reached him!
Parents must pay attention to it! Take the baby to the doctor for a check-up immediately.
1. Poor immunity
The greatest harm of formaldehyde to the human body is to reduce the resistance of the human body, and when the resistance is low, the human body is more susceptible to infection by bacteria and viruses, causing diseases. When your resistance is relatively poor for a long time, and you often have inexplicable colds and diarrhea, then it is very likely to be caused by excessive indoor formaldehyde
2. The child feels itchy and often scratches the skin
Another obvious reaction of formaldehyde poisoning is that the skin is often scratched, and there will be some red spots on it, which is mainly because the formaldehyde exceeds the standard, which irritates the skin and makes the skin appear allergic.
In fact, this phenomenon is very easy for parents to discover, and if you pay more attention to the changes in your child at ordinary times, there will be no delay in treatment.
3. The child has a headache and dizziness
Many people will attribute the child's headache and dizziness to a cold, but if your child is dizzy after staying at home for a long time, and he will not be dizzy when he goes out for a walk, then you should not ignore it carelessly, which is likely to be caused by excessive indoor formaldehyde.
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 broken out: these 4 "daily necessities" are rarely moved to the home, and formaldehyde is released every day
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.
