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!
According to the statistics of relevant surveys, formaldehyde in houses can be retained for 3 to 15 years, and even some investigators have detected some formaldehyde substances in 15-year-old houses.
Therefore, the cleaning of formaldehyde can not be solved by simply opening windows for ventilation, even if the decoration is completed and the house has lived for 8 years, the hidden danger of formaldehyde concentration cannot be ignored.
A large number of wooden boards, dyes, fabrics, etc. used in decoration, the accumulated formaldehyde concentration is very high, and the retention capacity of formaldehyde is too strong, the retention time is too long, furniture, dyes, carpets, etc., will continue to release formaldehyde, even after 8 years, the concentration of formaldehyde will not be significantly reduced, and it is still within the dangerous range.
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" at home, and "release formaldehyde" every day
1. Oil-based latex paint
Oil-based latex paint contains a large amount of formaldehyde, and if oil-based paint is used during decoration, formaldehyde will be difficult to volatilize in the new home.
Therefore, do not use oil-based paint to paint the wall, try to use water-based topcoat and primer.
2. Complex wallpapers
We all know that when decorating, many of us will not choose simple paint, but will choose a variety of patterns, very complex wallpaper, wallpaper patterns are more, and it looks magnificent, in line with many people's aesthetics.
But complex wallpaper, in the process of making there are also some plants and trees, glued together, these glues also contain formaldehyde, wallpaper also needs to be watered to smear, pasted on the wall, in order to gradually firm and smeared These glues also contain a lot of formaldehyde, so you must be cautious when choosing wallpaper and watering.
3. Colorful curtains
When making curtains, in order to make it colorful and look good, a large number of dyes will be added during the printing and dyeing process, and these dyes usually contain formaldehyde, therefore, the curtains of the finished product are prone to formaldehyde residues.
It is recommended that the newly bought curtains should be soaked in water and cleaned to dissolve and release formaldehyde, which can greatly reduce the risk of formaldehyde.
In addition, when buying curtains, try to avoid colorful styles, and it is best to choose cotton, linen, silk and other pure natural materials, which are safe and hygienic.
4. Auxiliary materials such as sewing agents
Sometimes people are easy to fall into the misunderstanding, thinking that only some large materials will produce formaldehyde, in fact, some small or auxiliary decoration materials or accessories also contain a large number of harmful gases, such as auxiliary materials such as sewing agents.
In fact, those who have used the beauty sewing agent know that he has a pungent smell, because it also has harmful substances such as V o C and formaldehyde, which is no less dangerous / harmful to the body/health/than latex paint, so be careful when using, if you do not pay attention, it will also constitute a threat / threat / threat to our / health / health.
Once formaldehyde exceeds the standard, what harm will it cause to health?
In recent years, there have been many life-threatening cases of formaldehyde disease.
According to survey data, the number of deaths caused by indoor air pollution in the country has reached 111,000 every year, with an average of about 304 deaths per day.
1. Short-term exposure to excessive concentrations of formaldehyde
If more sensitive people come into contact with formaldehyde, their eyes will be irritated and watery, and their throat will be hoarse and sore and their respiratory tract will also be damaged.
2. Long-term exposure to excessive formaldehyde
Long-term exposure can cause more severe symptoms. Mild symptoms may cause headaches, insomnia, loss of appetite, etc., and may also cause sensory disturbances or depression.
At a deep level, it can reduce immunity and respiratory function, and even have adverse effects on genes.
The environment with excessive formaldehyde will have a greater impact on pregnant women and children, and there is a probability that it will cause fetal malformations and even miscarriage.
Men who have been exposed for a long time are also at risk of developing problems with decreased sperm motility. Long-term exposure to excessive conditions will increase the probability of malignant diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, and bone marrow leukemia.
Formaldehyde removal is not a project that can be completed in a short period of time, the formaldehyde emission time is generally 3-6 months, it is necessary for us to continue to remove formaldehyde, the following Xiaobian will share with you a few effective formaldehyde removal products, the first of which is Xiaobian himself used one, the effect is very good.
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 fusion of amino acid technology and photocatalyst technology, which reacts with air to produce carbon dioxide and water, and does not produce harmful components to the human body. 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.
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.
