Formaldehyde - the most painful topic in decoration

As the saying goes, "The year is in spring." Decoration is no exception, and spring is a good time for home renovation. First of all, the temperature and humidity in spring are very moderate. The wood products and gypsum products used in the decoration are not easy to be deformed and cracked after completion. Paints and latex paints painted during construction will evaporate and dry faster, and the flatness of the paint will be better. Secondly, the climatic conditions in spring are conducive to controlling the moisture content of wood materials below 13%. If the moisture content of wood generally exceeds this standard, the change of thermal expansion and contraction will be very obvious, thus affecting the construction quality. However, professionals reminded that there are "sequels" in the spring decoration, and the "source of pollution" must be guarded against.

Ms. Deng’s family is undergoing renovation. When she talks with her colleagues about her new home layout, some colleagues reminded her to pay attention to the pollution problem. A friend of the colleague was aborted because of the decoration pollution. This makes Ms. Deng feel uneasy, and the invisible killer of indoor pollution will not be able to prevent it? It is understood that in recent years, cases of various diseases caused by decoration pollution are not uncommon. Experts said that the causes of diseases include many factors, and decoration pollution is one of the main factors that cause disease, which cannot be ignored.

How to reduce the pollution of decoration? Interior designers remind new owners that despite choosing the best seasonal decoration, they should be careful about indoor decoration pollution.

Three major sources of pollution

For pollution, experts say that many decorative materials contain organic substances such as formaldehyde and benzene. Therefore, a small amount of pollution is inevitable in the decoration. According to statistics, there are many reasons for indoor environmental pollution, and the decoration pollution caused by interior decoration materials and furniture accounts for a large proportion. Paints, plywood, particleboard, interior paints, etc. for interior decoration contain harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene. Once these materials enter the living room, they will cause more than 30 diseases including respiratory tract, digestive tract, neurology, vision, and hypertension. These pollutions mainly exist in the following three household items:

The first is furniture. Formaldehyde can be said to be the most important pollutant in furniture. The materials, paints and adhesives used in all kinds of furniture contain a certain amount of formaldehyde. Long-term effects on the human body can cause many adverse reactions, such as strong stimulation to the human eye and respiratory system, leading to cancer and fetal malformation. potential threat.

Followed by the floor. Because formaldehyde has strong adhesion, it also has the function of strengthening the hardness of the board and preventing insects and corrosion, which is very suitable for floor use. Consumers must pay attention to this when buying wooden flooring. Do not blindly pursue formaldehyde-free. In fact, the product with formaldehyde content is very harmful to the human body. In addition, there are some “zero formaldehyde” products, which is actually not possible. Therefore, it is best to ask at the time of purchase, the meaning of the so-called "zero formaldehyde" is completely free of formaldehyde or formaldehyde content is in the harmless range, not to be blinded by the publicity of the business.

Finally, the wall decoration material. Wall covering materials such as paints, thinner materials, and various waterproof materials mostly contain a certain amount of pollutants. In terms of overall performance, latex paint is superior to water-based paint, which is basically composed of water, pigment, emulsion, etc. These raw materials are not toxic, and the place where it may be toxic is ethylene glycol in the film former. Organic mercury in mold inhibitors. Therefore, the quality of the latex paint is basically safe to use.

Advocating heavy decoration and light decoration

In order to prevent formaldehyde from exceeding the standard, professionals suggest that the owner must pay attention to three points during the renovation process: First, avoid stacking. In the same size space, there is a difference in the environmental protection factor between one or two pieces of furniture and a lot of furniture. Even if the formaldehyde content of each piece of furniture is up to standard, it will become excessive. Therefore, it is necessary to know how to leave white properly; second, pay attention to humidity and temperature. The speed of the emission of harmful substances on the furniture has a great relationship with the temperature and humidity. If the adjustment is good, the harmful substances will soon dissipate; Third, ventilation. The problem of ventilation can not be ignored. Whether it is fresh air volume or wind change, the pollution in the room can be alleviated. If the air is not ventilated and the air is not circulated, even if the single formaldehyde content is less, the time will be longer because of the failure to discharge properly.

Although pollution problems exist, consumers do not need to blindly panic. As long as the source of pollution is correctly recognized, the environmental protection materials will be used as the main decoration to reduce the pile-up; if problems are found in time, the pollution of the decoration can be effectively controlled and the probability of illness can be reduced. In addition, special reminder, pregnant women during pregnancy should not contact the decoration, and try not to go to the room being renovated, so as not to cause adverse effects on the fetus; the elderly due to low resistance, do not touch the decoration too much. After the renovation, pay attention to ventilation, and wait until most of the pollutants are released.
