These days, the ' formaldehyde room caused leukemia ' incident, it makes them panic.
About formaldehyde, most people actually know very little, the following is a small part to answer questions for everyone.
What is formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas, has a strong stimulating odor, can be used to produce poly formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde resin and phenolic resins and other chemical substances.
Where will there be ' traces ' of formaldehyde?
1, Building materials field
In the field of building materials, if the home decoration materials used to adhesives, paints, paints and other items, there is no way to avoid containing formaldehyde, such as plywood, joinery board, Particleboard, fibreboard and other artificial plates, in fact, there are formaldehyde.
2, chemical field Plastic products, dyes, paints, adhesives and other chemical products, in fact, there are formaldehyde.
Life, we see a lot of formaldehyde-containing items, such as plastic bottles, travel boxes, glue, paint, etc., can not be avoided at all!
3, textile field Textile products in the production process, businesses in order to let printing dyeing more durable, will add formaldehyde. People in use, formaldehyde will and on the human respiratory tract, skin mucosa and other causes stimulation.
Therefore, we usually buy clothes, bed sheets, quilt cover, curtains and other textile supplies, must first wash!
4, food industry In the field of scientific research, formalin, which is used to leach biological specimens, is actually a 35%-40% formaldehyde aqueous solution.
Because Formalin has anti-corrosion function, so some of the life of the unscrupulous businessmen in order to make food preservative function more durable, will be in food (such as chicken claw, pig feet, etc.) to add formalin.
Formaldehyde--a harmless carcinogen
One of the most feared diseases is cancer, and formaldehyde is just the ' accomplice ' of cancer!
If the concentration of formaldehyde release is high, it will cause irritation to human mucosa, skin, respiratory tract and other parts, causing the human body to appear allergic, chest tightness and other discomfort.
If the long-term in the environment of formaldehyde exceeded, formaldehyde will slowly infiltration into the body, harmful to the human body system, serious or even induce liver poisoning, leukemia, cancer and so on!
Formaldehyde living in the environment, will be sure to get leukemia? From the above, formaldehyde is used in many fields, the human body may be exposed to the ' formaldehyde products ' every day.
So, long-term exposure to ' formaldehyde products ', will definitely get leukemia?
In fact, exposure to formaldehyde, there will indeed be the possibility of inducing leukemia, but those who are more likely to be high, the majority of those who have long exposure to high concentrations of formaldehyde, such as in the shoe factory, oil factory, chemical plant, building materials site and other local work people.
At present, there is no medical research has confirmed that formaldehyde will directly lead to leukemia, if the normal contact with less formaldehyde residue, indoor content of less than 0.1mg/m3, we do not have to panic. House formaldehyde exceeded?
What should I do? Formaldehyde exceeds the standard, how to do?
If you are a tenant, suggest ' run ' for the best policy, if you are the owner, the most reliable way is to find a company to remove formaldehyde, let professional agencies to help eliminate formaldehyde in the house at once.
Of course, if you are concerned about the formaldehyde in your house, you can try the following small ways: 1, ventilation.
Because formaldehyde is gas, can be volatile, so usually at home we must open the window, maintain ventilation, speeding up the pace of formaldehyde volatilization. 2, activated carbon. Activated carbon has adsorption, can be placed in the right amount of carbon in the home to adsorb formaldehyde. However, activated carbon can only absorb formaldehyde in the air, which is not valid for formaldehyde in furniture.
In addition, the absorption of activated carbon saturation, it is recommended to replace regularly.
