First, the harm of formaldehyde to children
1, resulting in infant malformation.
If pregnant women stay in a room containing formaldehyde for a long time, it will lead to chromosomal abnormalities in newborns, and the fetus is particularly sensitive to the strong smell of formaldehyde, which will not only cause discomfort to pregnant women, but also endanger the health of the fetus through the transmission of placenta. In the most serious case, it is likely to cause the risk of fetal malformation.
2, children's blood system diseases
Medical research shows that excessive formaldehyde content in new houses will lead to blood diseases in children. According to relevant data, 265,438+million children die every year, which is related to decoration pollution. Excessive formaldehyde will cause blood system diseases in children, and the serious manifestation is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Formaldehyde will do great harm to children's health and intelligence.
3, can lead to asthma in children.
Formaldehyde can cause nasopharyngeal discomfort in children, causing respiratory diseases such as cough, asthma, acute and chronic bronchitis; Serious formaldehyde pollution will lead to redness of children's skin, congestion and inflammation of cornea and conjunctiva; Can cause nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal diseases in children.
Long-term exposure to high concentrations of formaldehyde will cause throat and respiratory diseases, make children's physique decline, and lead to heart disease in children. According to statistics, 85% of children aged 1-5 in China suffer from asthma, and formaldehyde is the main inducement.
4. Indoor formaldehyde has a significant impact on children's intelligence.
In 20 12, the research group of "National Environmental Change" Shenyang in addition to formaldehyde Company invested by China130,000, after summarizing the research reports of scientists from various countries and conducting many investigations and analyses, announced a shocking result:
Environmental pollution has greatly reduced human intelligence, especially children's intelligence. This result exceeds previous estimates that the human brain is being destroyed by human behavior.
Therefore, in terms of children's physical and intellectual development, children's indoor environmental pollution can not be ignored.
Second, how to minimize the harm of formaldehyde to children?
1, to combat the low quality of interior decoration materials. We should avoid using home decoration materials containing harmful substances, such as wood-based panels with high formaldehyde, benzene and lead paint content. Must buy materials that meet or exceed national standards;
2. Do a good job in indoor air testing and disposal of newly renovated children's rooms. According to the requirements of "Code for Indoor Environmental Pollution Control of Civil Buildings" promulgated by the state, after the newly-built and newly-renovated houses pass the inspection, Shenyang, a third party outside in addition to formaldehyde Company, must be required to conduct indoor air quality inspection.
