"Have you been exposed to paint, glue and gasoline for a long time?" After the doctor asked, A Ying remembered that a new building had been built in her house not long ago. She often goes to the construction site to supervise the decoration of the masters. Sometimes, she stays for a whole day and lasts for more than half a year before the new building is decorated.
After half a year of ventilation, the whole family moved in, but Aying fell ill.
Fortunately, after eight courses of chemotherapy, A Ying's condition was controlled. Doctors believe that A Ying's long stay in indoor polluted environment may be one of the suspicious causes of leukemia.
Don't underestimate the harm of formaldehyde!
1, carcinogenic:
The World Health Organization clearly points out that formaldehyde causes cancer.
At the same time, many studies have found that formaldehyde can induce cancers in the mouth, nose, throat, skin and digestive system.
2. Abnormal growth
Obstetricians and gynecologists said that formaldehyde can be transmitted to the fetus through the mother's blood, leading to fetal growth retardation, deformity, mental retardation, and even miscarriage and "black fetus" in the early pregnancy. Long-term inhalation by men will lead to male sperm deformity and death.
3, may cause leukemia.
The Institute of Health investigated 1 1039 workers who had worked in an environment where formaldehyde exceeded the standard for more than 3 months, and found that 15 workers died of leukemia.
The Cancer Institute investigated 250 19 workers and found that 69 workers died of leukemia. The relative risk increases with the increase of formaldehyde concentration, so it is speculated that formaldehyde may be related to leukemia.
It is the most harmful to people with low immunity.
Among all contacts, children, the elderly, pregnant women and other people who have been indoors for a long time and have low immunity are the most harmful.
After reading these hazards, do you still have luck with formaldehyde control? Wake up! Don't let your child fall into the abyss of formaldehyde poisoning because of a moment's negligence!
As an environmental protection expert, it is pointed out that several things at home are big users of formaldehyde, which seem inconspicuous, but can release formaldehyde for many years, but many people don't know it and often move home.
Many people don't know that the "humble" daily necessities hidden at home have been continuously releasing formaldehyde.
1, glue fittings
For a long time, adhesives such as structural adhesives have been considered as one of the most important sources of formaldehyde.
It is particularly important to emphasize that in addition to this kind of glue compound, there are a lot of formaldehyde such as waterproof materials, indoor putty powder, adhesives and other objects. To buy this kind of thing, you must use low formaldehyde products.
Don't carry this stuff home in large quantities!
2. Core plywood
Blockboard and medium density fiberboard are indoor decoration materials often used in family decoration.
For example, ceiling and wooden kitchen cabinets are inseparable from joinery boards, and most of the clothes hanging boards are made of medium density fiberboard.
Blockboard and medium-high density fiberboard are glued together, and the glue contains a lot of formaldehyde, which naturally becomes the "medium" of formaldehyde.
3. Soft packaging and hard packaging
The decoration style is also constantly changing. People began to decorate anything that was popular. Both soft and hard bags are very popular. They can be used as TV background walls, sofa background walls, and can also be installed at the bedside.
Soft bags and hard bags look very classy, with soft materials and soft colors, which are welcomed by many young people. This decoration style makes the home look particularly warm and the cream color is softer.
Why do soft and hard bags release formaldehyde easily? Because they have a common feature that the material used is density board, if it is poor quality density board, it is easy to release a lot of formaldehyde. Soft bags and hard bags are made of leather or sponge, and these items are also prone to formaldehyde exceeding the standard.
Therefore, both soft bags and hard bags are sources of formaldehyde release. Be sure to buy environmentally friendly soft bags and hard bags when you buy them. The so-called cheap goods are not good, the price is low, and the material is definitely not good. Be careful when choosing.
However, these humble household items are the main source of formaldehyde. Careless, it is easy to cause formaldehyde in the home to exceed the standard, leading to formaldehyde poisoning in children!
Be alert! Children are more vulnerable to formaldehyde.
In our long life, about 80% of our time is spent indoors, so the quality of indoor air directly determines our health. Among many pollutants, formaldehyde is particularly harmful to our health.
Because formaldehyde is not only a carcinogen and teratogenic substance, but also one of the causes of childhood leukemia.
Among the many groups harmed by formaldehyde, children often suffer the most. This is because children spend more time indoors than adults every day, and the main breathing interval of children is precisely the deposition zone of formaldehyde in the air. In other words, children will inhale more formaldehyde than adults.
In addition, as we all know, long-term exposure to excessive formaldehyde will destroy our immune system, thus making us extremely sick.
The child's immune system has not yet developed well. Once it is destroyed by formaldehyde, it will naturally become more prone to illness.
So, what can be done to effectively remove formaldehyde?
Many people mistakenly believe that due to the high temperature and humidity in summer, the formaldehyde emission has reached the highest value.
As we all know, after entering the winter, due to low temperature, dry climate and other reasons, although the release rate of formaldehyde has also decreased.
But the terrible thing is that the concentration of formaldehyde is low, which is not easy for human body to perceive, which leads people to be alert to formaldehyde.
Moreover, the weather is cold in winter, and many times people neglect to open windows frequently for ventilation, which makes them more vulnerable to formaldehyde. The cases of indoor formaldehyde exceeding the standard in winter only increase!
So ventilation in addition to formaldehyde can only be used as an aid. Don't think that ventilation can solve the formaldehyde problem, we must combine the correct professional products.
