Decoration is one of the main causes of indoor air pollution in homes, and formaldehyde is often the number one pollutant in decoration pollution.
Where does the formaldehyde in decoration come from? Formaldehyde is an important component of adhesives. Products used in the decoration process, including artificial boards, paints, carpets, furniture, etc., anything involving adhesives may contain formaldehyde.
With the arrival of midsummer, the temperature continues to rise, and the health risks caused by formaldehyde are also quietly coming. Hot weather raises the room temperature, formaldehyde in furniture will be very active, and the indoor concentration will skyrocket. According to surveys, hot weather can cause indoor formaldehyde emissions to exceed normal levels by 20%-30%. According to professional experiments, for every 1°C increase in room temperature, the formaldehyde concentration in indoor air increases by 0.13 times!
Not only that, even if the formaldehyde test of each product in the home environment is qualified, the overall formaldehyde content of multiple products cannot be underestimated! In 2018, the China Building Decoration Association released the "China Newly Decorated Residential Air Quality Survey". Sample surveys in Beijing, Guangzhou, Nanjing and other cities showed that the average formaldehyde exceedance rate in new residences was as high as 70% to 80%.
At this point, you definitely want to ask
What are the dangers of excessive formaldehyde concentration?
Let Sir Ya give you some popular science
Hazard 1:
Indoor formaldehyde is too high and can easily irritate the eyes. Long-term exposure to low concentrations of formaldehyde can also cause symptoms such as tearing, sneezing, coughing, and even conjunctivitis in severe cases., rhinitis and bronchitis, etc.
Hazard 2:
Formaldehyde can also cause contact dermatitis and mucosal irritation. Formaldehyde vapor can directly contact the skin in the air, causing dermatitis, skin redness, severe pain, cracking, and blistering reactions.
Hazard Three:
Research also confirms that long-term inhalation of formaldehyde by pregnant women may cause fetal malformations and even death! At the same time, formaldehyde is also a type of carcinogen. Long-term exposure to an environment with excessive formaldehyde may induce special cancers such as Hodgkin lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and myeloid leukemia.
After seeing so many dangers,
What are your strategies for preventing formaldehyde?
You must say it
Open windows for ventilation, buy green plants and activated carbon?
