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!
After Mr. Lin's new house was ventilated and dried for more than half a year, the couple moved into the new house with their 4-year-old daughter. Only one month after moving into the new house, Mr. Lin's daughter suddenly developed symptoms such as persistent high fever and cough, and was diagnosed with acute leukemia by the hospital, and her 4-year-old daughter died due to ineffective treatment.
After his daughter was diagnosed with acute leukemia, Mr. Lin commissioned the municipal environmental monitoring station to monitor the air in the master bedroom of the new house, and according to the monitoring report, the formaldehyde content was 0.39mg per cubic meter, which exceeded the prescribed standard by 4 times.
There are many factors that affect the amount of formaldehyde released, and the most important is temperature.
The higher the temperature, the higher the evaporation rate and volatilization amount, which is common to all chemicals, and formaldehyde is no exception. Studies have shown that for every 10°C increase in room temperature, the concentration of formaldehyde in indoor air will increase by 3 times.
When the room temperature exceeds 20 °C, the formaldehyde in furniture and various decoration materials will be in an active state, highly volatile, if the room temperature continues to rise, the release of formaldehyde will also increase exponentially.
Experiments have proved that raising the temperature, especially above 30 °C, will cause the decomposition of the cured urea-formaldehyde resin and release formaldehyde, and with the increase of the treatment temperature, the decomposition intensity will intensify, and the ideal temperature is about 20 °C.
Higher relative humidity can promote the release of formaldehyde from numerous sources of pollution. Because the polymer of formaldehyde will be gradually hydrolyzed in a humid environment, a large amount of formaldehyde will be released during the hydrolysis process.
Under high temperature and high humidity conditions, wood hemicellulose undergoes a decomposition reaction to release formaldehyde, and high humidity will also promote the hydrolysis of the cured veinaldehyde resin.
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 been exposed: don't buy these 4 "daily necessities" at home!
1. Particle board and MDF furniture
The quality of today's furniture is really worrying, take wardrobes, beds and other necessary objects, often use less than a year will appear some quality problems, if used for 5 to 7 years, basically have to be replaced.
The reason why the quality of furniture is poor this time is because most of the furniture materials are particle board and MDF, and some cheap furniture boards are not only of poor quality, but also contain a lot of formaldehyde, often a group of furniture can make the whole house exceed the formaldehyde, and its formaldehyde release cycle is as long as 10 years.
Therefore, when we change furniture, we must detect the formaldehyde concentration value at home in time to avoid the problem of excessive formaldehyde.
2. Self-assembled computer desks, desks, TV cabinets
Now sell this kind of items online special amount, and the price is particularly cheap, 100 yuan can buy one, as the saying goes, "a penny price, a penny", this kind of cheap unimaginable self-assembled computer desks, desks, TV cabinets, etc., the plates used are some inferior particle boards, containing formaldehyde is particularly much, especially easy to cause formaldehyde exceedance, we must be cautious when buying, and after buying to detect the formaldehyde concentration value at home in time.
3. Kitchen anti-grease sticker
The price of this kind of sticker is also very cheap, it may be only a few dozen dollars to stick it all over the kitchen, there will be a large number of industrial glue in this kind of sticker, which contains a lot of formaldehyde, and the kitchen will show a high temperature state when cooking, at this time the formaldehyde release rate in the sticker will be accelerated, and even float to the meal, which has a great impact on our health.
4. Carpets and foam pads
Many families will lay carpets or foam pads after having a baby, so as to avoid the baby falling and bruising, and the carpet and foam pad are the hardest hit areas of formaldehyde, plus its laying area is particularly large, especially easy to cause formaldehyde exceedance, especially if the baby climbs and bites on it, the harm is greater.
Formaldehyde in these common daily necessities can be "KO" wallpaper, latex paint and other decoration materials, which are common factors that lead to excessive formaldehyde at home.
Attention parents: Children are the main victims of formaldehyde
After research by doctors/hospitals and professionals, it has come to the conclusion that children are often the biggest victims of excessive formaldehyde.
How to judge the indoor formaldehyde in which you live exceeds the standard? These 3 signs on the child's body are obvious, and you must move out
1. The baby is weak and easy to get sick
The elderly and children at home have very poor resistance to formaldehyde, children are generally better than adult energy, and at the same time, the new house is very new toys can also arouse the baby's curiosity, but if the child is very prone to fatigue, the mental state is not as good as before, and even often sick, the child's immune system is mostly affected by the excessive formaldehyde at home, and the resistance has become worse.
2. Dry and teary eyes
Human senses can directly perceive the environment, in addition to the sensitive nose, in fact, the eyes can also sensitively perceive formaldehyde pollution, if the formaldehyde at home exceeds the standard, the child's eyes usually appear dry or inexplicable tears, pay more attention to the eye condition of the family, but also judge whether the formaldehyde at home is exceeded.
3. The child feels itchy skin and often scratches the skin
Another obvious reaction of formaldehyde poisoning is that it often scratches the skin, and there will be some red spots on it, which is mainly because the formaldehyde exceeds the standard, which stimulates the skin and makes the skin allergic.
In fact, this phenomenon is very easy for parents to find, and if you pay more attention to the changes in your child at ordinary times, there will be no delay in treatment.
If you want to remove formaldehyde safely and efficiently, the most effective way is to use formaldehyde removal products. Many people think that the use of products will affect the furniture or family members, and the use of products will not leave stains or marks on the furniture, let alone 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 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.
