The harmful effects of formaldehyde on the human body
Stimulating effect: The main hazard of formaldehyde is the stimulating effect on the skin and mucous membrane. Formaldehyde is a protoplasmic toxic substance, which can bind to protein and cause severe respiratory irritation and edema, eye irritation and headache when inhaled at high concentration.
Sensitization: Direct contact with formaldehyde can cause allergic dermatitis, pigmentation, necrosis, and bronchial asthma can be induced when inhaling high concentrations of formaldehyde.
Mutagenic effects: High concentrations of formaldehyde are also a genotoxic substance. Experimental animals can cause nasopharyngeal tumors when inhaled at high concentrations in the laboratory.
Look, ask, sign three tricks to teach you to avoid formaldehyde furniture
According to industry insiders, when buying furniture, remember to live in Wudaoguan to ensure the environmental protection of furniture. As for the personalization of furniture, you may wish to consider professional designers to tailor the door. The five aspects that consumers should pay attention to when purchasing furniture actually refer to the five aspects of smell, report, price, signing contract and invoicing, so as to effectively ensure that the furniture they buy home meets the corresponding environmental requirements. .
Smell the taste: Most of the wooden furniture sold on the market, except for all solid wood furniture, has wood-based panel parts. Therefore, you should especially smell the smell when you purchase. If you make people cry and sneeze, it means that the formaldehyde emission of furniture is relatively high and should not be purchased.
Look at the report: Consumers can ask the dealer for a quality inspection report to see if the amount of formaldehyde released from the furniture is within the limits allowed by the standard. The national standard "Limits of Hazardous Substances in Wood Furniture for Interior Decoration Materials" stipulates that the amount of formaldehyde released in wooden furniture shall not exceed 1.5 mg per liter. It is recommended to purchase furniture made of E1 (European level) standard board. Only the board that truly meets the E1 standard can be truly harmless to the human body.
Ask the price: Most of the wood furniture with excessive formaldehyde is cheap man-made boards, so the price of the whole set of wooden furniture is often “ultra-lowâ€.
Signing a contract: When purchasing a piece of furniture, the customer should sign a "furniture sale contract" and write the environmental protection clause into the contract. Invoicing: Nowadays, a large number of consumers are tempted by dealers' low prices, taking white bars, receipts, etc., and when they go out to complain about quality problems, such informal invoices are often difficult to be effective. Evidence, so buying a furniture must be a dealer to issue a formal invoice...
Xiaobian's words:
With the continuous development of residential decoration, personalization and environmental protection have become the two most concerned issues for consumers when purchasing furniture. In particular, the latter has been paid more and more attention because of its direct concern on health issues. Xiaobian hopes to teach everyone how to identify formaldehyde furniture through this manuscript, so that everyone can avoid the damage.
