"Hide at home" is not Attention seeking daily necessities, "secretly release formaldehyde"! But many people overlook it

In recent years, the number of cases of diseases caused by excessive indoor formaldehyde levels is increasing, especially for families with children and pregnant women, which is very worrying.According to reports, half of the 40000 new patients added every day are children, with children aged 2-7 accounting for the majority of leukemia cases

In recent years, the number of cases of diseases caused by excessive indoor formaldehyde levels is increasing, especially for families with children and pregnant women, which is very worrying.

According to reports, half of the 40000 new patients added every day are children, with children aged 2-7 accounting for the majority of leukemia cases. The incidence rate of Childhood leukemia is also increasing. A striking case is a three-year-old child named Xiaobei. He often fell ill. At first, his family thought it was normal, but only treated him as a Common cold, until the child's condition worsened.

After Xiaobei was sent to the hospital, the doctor diagnosed him with leukemia, mainly because the ventilation time of the house he lived in was less than three years. Xiaobei has to endure the pain of drawing blood and getting needles every day, even though he is very young, he has to endure immense pain. The family then conducted tests on the air inside the house, and the results showed that formaldehyde seriously exceeded the standard.

In recent years, the number of children with leukemia has been continuously increasing, mainly due to indoor air pollution in new houses, resulting in formaldehyde exceeding the qualified standards by more than ten times.

In fact, some people have a significantly increased risk of developing leukemia after living in houses with excessive levels of formaldehyde for several months. Although people may think that the risk of leukemia caused by formaldehyde poisoning is very low, formaldehyde is not only present in newly renovated houses, but many workplaces and living places may have formaldehyde pollution as long as there are substances that can produce formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is known as the "first killer" of indoor air, a colorless, irritating, and easily soluble gas. Formaldehyde can coagulate proteins, and 35%~40% formaldehyde aqueous solution is usually called Formaldehyde#Forms, which is often used to impregnate specimens. Formaldehyde is a highly toxic substance and is ranked second on the priority control list of toxic chemicals in China.

The length of formaldehyde release cycle mainly depends on furniture production technology, edge wrapping technology, and new house decoration methods. Based on the current level of furniture production and craftsmanship, it can be concluded that the time range for the continuous release of formaldehyde at room temperature is 3-15 years.

However, it is unreliable to determine whether formaldehyde exceeds the standard solely by smelling the odor. The report shows that the minimum concentration of formaldehyde odor that people can smell is 0.05-0.5mg/m3, and in general, the minimum concentration of odor that most people can smell is 0.2-0.4mg/m3. In other words, even if the formaldehyde concentration in the home exceeds the standard, we may not be able to smell the odor.

Therefore, relying solely on smell to determine whether indoor formaldehyde exceeds the standard is unreasonable. Many people mistakenly believe that formaldehyde is far away from us, but this is not the case. Environmental experts point out that some seemingly insignificant items in the home may be the "big spenders" of formaldehyde, and we should not ignore them.

Engineered wood: Engineered wood is a commonly used furniture making material. In order to control costs and increase profits, some manufacturers may use unqualified Engineered wood, which usually use inferior glue, which contains higher concentrations of formaldehyde. Long term exposure to these materials will inevitably cause harm to our health.

'Unqualified' Mattress:

However, some unscrupulous merchants may use substandard materials to make mattresses in order to save costs. These substandard materials are likely to contain substances such as fabrics and sponges that exceed formaldehyde standards.

Decoration wallpaper:

Many homeowners are not satisfied with simply applying white paint when decorating walls. They believe that whitewashed walls are neither aesthetically pleasing nor resistant to dirt. The wallpaper and wallpaper we commonly use contain a large amount of formaldehyde, especially the wallpaper. During the production process, not only does a large amount of glue be used, but if you go to the wallpaper shop to smell it, you will find a strong smell on it, which is the smell of formaldehyde!

If you have these items at home, it is recommended to replace them or undergo formaldehyde removal treatment as soon as possible, as these items may continue to release toxic gases for up to 15 years. Living in the same room with these "release sources" for a long time can easily pose a threat to our health, and we should not ignore them.

Why are environmentally friendly materials used, but formaldehyde still exceeds the standard? The reason is that pollutants during the decoration process can have a "superposition effect", and the environmental indicators of individual furniture are qualified. However, if they are all concentrated in a small space, it may exceed the standard.

The temperature gradually increases in summer, and the rate of formaldehyde release also increases. If formaldehyde removal measures are not taken in the summer, it will cause serious harm to children when formaldehyde reaches its peak.

Impact of pregnant women and fetuses: pregnant women will not only have various discomfort if they are exposed to indoor environment with excessive formaldehyde for a long time, but also harm the fetus through the placenta. This may lead to fetal malformations, miscarriage, and affect intellectual development. Pregnant women may experience problems such as headaches, insomnia, and decreased memory.

2. The impact of infants and young children: Due to the incomplete development of the nervous system in infants and young children, excessive formaldehyde may cause hematological diseases, such as sepsis and leukemia. In addition, excessive formaldehyde may also increase the incidence rate of asthma and mental retardation in children.

Formaldehyde can cause serious harm to children. In order to protect their healthy growth, parents must do a good job in removing formaldehyde.

The following are some common misconceptions about formaldehyde removal:

Mistakenly believing that plants can remove formaldehyde: For example, green apples are widely promoted to remove formaldehyde, but 30 pots of normal sized green apples cannot completely remove formaldehyde from a ten square meter room after two days of storage. Is this removal efficiency satisfactory?

Activated carbon: Although activated carbon has the ability to adsorb formaldehyde, without a sufficient amount of activated carbon for the entire room, its formaldehyde purification effect is limited. In addition, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon is also limited. If activated carbon is not replaced in a timely manner after saturation, excess formaldehyde will overflow and cause secondary pollution.

To completely remove formaldehyde and protect the health of oneself and family, in addition to regular ventilation, it is best to seek professional help and choose the right product. A recommended product is

Oluwei formaldehyde scavenger

It can quickly and effectively eliminate indoor formaldehyde, allowing it to disappear within a visible range to the naked eye.

This formaldehyde scavenger has the ability to actively decompose formaldehyde, rather than just adsorbing it. Compared to traditional methods such as bamboo charcoal, orange peel, and tea, this product is more efficient because it actively captures formaldehyde and converts it into harmless water and carbon dioxide.

Many households still use traditional soil methods, but these methods often only adsorb formaldehyde and have no decomposition ability. Once they are filled with formaldehyde, they will instead release formaldehyde.

Oluwei formaldehyde scavenger,,,,,

The Photocatalysis technology used in this scavenger is an efficient chemical reaction process. When Photocatalysis contacts with formaldehyde in the air, it will trigger a series of chemical reactions to decompose formaldehyde into harmless water and carbon dioxide. This decomposition process is continuous, ensuring a long-term formaldehyde removal effect.

Another product that is very good at removing formaldehyde is activated carbon, which has a good adsorption effect and can effectively remove formaldehyde for a long time:

Weiqi Activated Carbon:

Weiqi activated carbon has a large number of micropores and pore structures, and has a large specific surface area, so it can absorb organic compounds, odors, Volatile organic compound and harmful gases in the air.
