What do you think of when you hear poison gas?
Carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, hydrogen cyanide, mustard gas, Viex, sarin, soman, etc. Some people may think of the gases produced during garbage incineration, car exhaust, and industrial waste gas, but almost no one thinks of it. We think of formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene series, kitchen fumes and second-hand smoke, and we never think that our homes are likely to be full of poisonous gases. These poisonous gases enter our bodies with breathing at all times, thus affecting our health.
Is the new home a gas chamber?
According to the air quality sampling results of newly-decorated residences released by the China Building Decoration Association, indoor air pollution is 2-3 times more serious than outdoor air pollution. In some serious cases, it may even reach more than 100 times. The level of indoor air pollution can be detected indoors. There are more than 300 kinds of pollutants, including more than 20 substances that can cause cancer. 68% of human diseases are related to indoor air, and the main causes of these problems are furniture and interior decoration.
Formaldehyde - a strong teratogen and carcinogen
According to the air quality sampling results of newly-decorated residences released by the China Building Decoration Association, the average formaldehyde exceedance rate is 70%-80%, and the highest value detected exceeds the national standard by 4.2 times.
On October 27, 2017, in the list of carcinogens published by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer, formaldehyde was placed in the list of Class I carcinogens.
On July 23, 2019, formaldehyde was included in the list of toxic and harmful water pollutants (first batch).
Formaldehyde has a long incubation period and is very harmful
In fact, many people know that decoration pollution is harmful, so there is a saying that new houses must be ventilated for half a year before moving in. This method is correct, but it cannot solve the problem of long-term formaldehyde release.
The formaldehyde release cycle is as long as 3-15 years. Why is it so slow? Because formaldehyde is a material binder, it is deep in the decoration materials, which results in formaldehyde evaporating slowly and affecting a long time. Formaldehyde is harmful to healthThe health hazards and long-term carcinogenic effects require our attention.
Air Defense - Formaldehyde Removal
There are currently many methods for removing formaldehyde on the market, such as ventilation, green plants, activated carbon, grapefruit peels, etc. These methods only treat the symptoms but not the root cause and cannot have a big effect. However, with the development of science and technology, there is a way Use negative ions to remove formaldehyde. As long as a certain concentration of negative ions is maintained at home for a long time, formaldehyde can be effectively removed.
People have higher and higher requirements for clean air. Many manufacturers have also produced various negative ion products to purify the air. Among them, there is a product that can purify the air without consuming electricity and requiring no subsequent maintenance. No noise, no secondary pollution, this is the special negative ion ceramic tile, which can produce negative ions to purify the air 24 hours a day once laid.
New house decoration must be healthy, turn your home into a big forest, and enjoy healthy forest breathing.
