Why do I use environmentally friendly materials in my home, and there will be excessive formaldehyde

With the improvement of living standards, people pay more and more attention to environmental protection and will choose products with environmental protection labels. However, the owner reported that the decoration materials at home are all environmentally friendly materials, and there is still a pungent smell after decoration. Eco-friendly materials do not mean that they are completely free of harmful substances, but that harmful substances per unit area are harmless to the human body.

According to the national standard GB 18580-2017 "Formaldehyde Emission Limits for Interior Decoration Materials, Wood-based Panels and Their Products", the formaldehyde emission limits for interior decoration materials, wood-based panels and their products are, and the limit mark is E1. In fact, the major brands in the market should be able to meet this standard. The same furniture, such as the wardrobe, is placed in a large room of 20 square meters and a small room of 10 square meters.

Although the same amount of formaldehyde is released, the concentration of the latter is twice as high. The area of the house is also determined. The more decorative materials you use, the more formaldehyde accumulates, forming a superposition effect, which will naturally exceed the standard.

Air purifiers are a good choice for quick removal of aldehydes, formaldehyde is removed by activated carbon filters, but should be replaced frequently to avoid secondary pollution after the filter is saturated. Ventilation is often considered the best way to remove formaldehyde for a long time, but if the ventilation conditions are not good, a fresh air system is a better option. More than 95% of the decorative materials on the market do not meet the standards.

Because at present, home decoration will inevitably use materials containing formaldehyde. Since formaldehyde is a good and low-cost adhesive, we cannot find an alternative product that is non-polluting, has a good bonding effect, and the production cost is in line with the consumption level.

Wood and man-made fiberboards, which are commonly used in decorative materials, are bonded with formaldehyde, and the adhesion of paint and latex paint to the wall also comes from formaldehyde. The most obvious manifestation of decoration pollution is the smell. The smell is usually an indication of very high pollution, but it is important to note that no smell does not mean no pollution.

For example, formaldehyde is barely smellable in the standard 5-fold range. Low concentrations of formaldehyde are not as pungent as one might think. Benzene and TVOC are usually odorous.

When there is an odor, attention must be paid to pollution control, but the absence of odor does not mean that formaldehyde does not need to be removed, we should refer to the actual test data.

It may be because I did not open the windows for ventilation when decorating, or it may be because these environmentally friendly materials also carry a part of formaldehyde, and the overall decoration will exceed the standard.

It may be that some materials containing formaldehyde will be used in the process of decoration. And sometimes the propaganda is problematic, so be cautious.

Because there is more or less formaldehyde in the decoration materials, the more decorative materials there are, the more formaldehyde accumulates.

Because environmentally friendly materials are not necessarily environmentally friendly, formaldehyde in material adhesives and formaldehyde in decoration materials have a superposition effect, which are the main reasons for formaldehyde after decoration of environmentally friendly materials.

Now when the house is decorated, people will pay special attention to the decoration materials, and will buy some environmentally friendly materials to reduce indoor formaldehyde, but many consumers after the house is decorated, the environment in the house is tested, and it is found that there is still formaldehyde indoors, and the formaldehyde exceeds the standard really annoys them, in fact, there are many reasons for this situation, and the performance of environmental protection materials is not up to standard is an important reason for this situation.

1. Environmentally friendly materials will also have formaldehyde

Many people will go to the market to buy environmentally friendly materials when decorating the house, thinking that these environmentally friendly materials do not contain formaldehyde, in fact, there is a certain misunderstanding in this understanding, because the most environmentally friendly materials on the market will also contain some formaldehyde, but the formaldehyde release is within a reasonable range, in addition, its heavy metal content and harmful chemical content should be within a reasonable range, such materials are called environmentally friendly materials, but many materials are superimposed, will also release formaldehyde.

Second, the material adhesive contains formaldehyde

People will buy environmentally friendly materials when decorating the house, thinking that there will be no formaldehyde in the interior after decorating the house, in fact, people only pay attention to the decoration materials, but ignore the material adhesive used in the decoration process, that is, the combination of various decoration materials, glue, although some glues say that environmental protection glue no formaldehyde glue, but these glues will more or less contain formaldehyde, if it is the most cheap ordinary glue formaldehyde content will be particularly high, Therefore, after the house is renovated, there will be formaldehyde indoors, and formaldehyde often exceeds the standard.

3. The superposition effect of formaldehyde

The superposition effect of formaldehyde is also an important reason why people will have formaldehyde after using environmentally friendly materials for decoration, a single material used by people when decorating a house may be green and environmentally friendly, and its formaldehyde content is within a safe range, but it is impossible for people to decorate a house to use a single material will use a lot of plates, paints, wallpaper, glue, these decoration materials contain formaldehyde more or less, after decoration, these formaldehyde will be slowly released into the air, and they will be superimposed to make the formaldehyde in the indoor environment exceed the standard.

Although the material is environmentally friendly, but in the process of installation, glue needs to be used, and the glue has a large amount of formaldehyde.

It may be the smell of formaldehyde on the furniture, although it is an environmentally friendly material, but it cannot be guaranteed that there is no residual formaldehyde on the material, and the house that can be renovated should not be lived in within half a year.

Because this environmentally friendly material will inevitably have a little formaldehyde, it is impossible to have no formaldehyde, and if there is no formaldehyde, this material may not be made.

1."Overlapping contamination" occurs after furniture is assembled. That is, even if every piece of furniture and building material meets environmental standards, if too much is used in a house, the overall indoor pollution may exceed the standard.

To achieve true health, there must be a higher standard than the standard. Formaldehyde pollution at home is complex and changeable, even if environmental protection is carried out, formaldehyde exceeding the standard is inevitable. Therefore, for the healthy growth of families and children, it is necessary to remove formaldehyde in time to prevent formaldehyde flooding.

Therefore, it can be said that the problem of formaldehyde cannot be delayed.

2.However, most of our families are not aware of the situation and blindly take some measures, which will threaten the health of the family. So how should we prevent and control it at home?

Formaldehyde already exists in every corner of our lives, so we must not sit idly by, prevent it in advance, and give your family a healthy living space is the last word. So when we deal with formaldehyde, in addition to ventilation, we can also use Mason Black Stone to eliminate formaldehyde. It is made by adding composite minerals in addition to formaldehyde materials, which is known for its high efficiency and durability, and has a stronger adsorption capacity for formaldehyde.

Moreover, Mason Blackstone can decompose adsorbed formaldehyde, so it will not be saturated. The validity period is greatly extended, at least 3 years can be used, and the indoor formaldehyde can be purified for a long time.

3.The most important thing is that it is also convenient to use and lasts for a long time. Mason Blackstone is perfect for pregnant women or families with cute babies.

Many friends will think that environmentally friendly materials are used, and the total amount of indoor formaldehyde may not exceed the standard. Not really. Even with the use of environmentally friendly materials, formaldehyde may still exceed the standard.

The reason is simple. These environmentally friendly materials are singled out separately, and the formaldehyde content meets the national standard. However, we can't just decorate with one material.

Many environmentally friendly materials are densely placed in a limited space, and the pollutants released by them will definitely form a superimposed effect, and eventually lead to substandard indoor air quality.

4.For example, floors and wallpaper are not exceeded, paints and coatings are not exceeded, curtains and carpets are not exceeded, sofas and wardrobes are not exceeded, but together they may be exceeded. An air purifier is a good choice for removing formaldehyde quickly.

Formaldehyde is generally removed through an activated carbon filter, but the filter should be replaced frequently after saturation to avoid secondary pollution. Ventilation is generally considered to be the best way to remove formaldehyde for a long time, but if the ventilation conditions are not good, a fresh air system is a better choice.

There will be formaldehyde accumulation, because it will also be mixed with other decoration materials, so even if it is an environmentally friendly material, there will be a problem of excessive formaldehyde.

It is likely that in the process of decoration, some glue containing formaldehyde is used, or some materials will have some formaldehyde, so this situation will occur.

In the process of home decoration, decoration supplies will release some formaldehyde, so no matter what materials are used for decoration, formaldehyde must be removed or regularly ventilated and dried.

At present, those very expensive environmentally friendly materials on the market are not completely free of formaldehyde, but the formaldehyde concentration is within the qualified range of the national standard. However, the materials used in the decoration are not a little, but a lot, and the formaldehyde released by these materials accumulates, and the formaldehyde content is still very high.

It may be because you haven't bought the right one, and the environmentally friendly material also has a certain amount of formaldehyde, you can buy potted plants.

Because there are some environmentally friendly materials that are deceptive, so when we encounter this situation, we must find the merchant to compensate.

It shows that there is a lot of formaldehyde in your home, and it may be that you have not bought a particularly good environmentally friendly material, so there will be formaldehyde exceeding the standard.

There will be a certain amount of pollution. Environmentally friendly materials do not mean that there is no formaldehyde 100%, but the content is a little lower.

It can only be said that the pollution of formaldehyde is reduced, and it is best to wait for three to five months before living after the renovation of the home.

Decorating with environmentally friendly materials does not mean that there is no pollution! "Some of the materials used in the decoration are good, but when the decorators combine these materials, the adhesives and other adhesives used are polluted. "In addition, the glue used to paste the wallpaper of the TV wall, the water-based paint, and some paints are all sources of pollution.

If the marble slab is not selected well, it is also likely to become a source of pollution with excessive radiation. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of environmental protection, it is best to choose green decoration materials, paint, glue and other decoration accessories can not cut corners, can not choose inferior quality, should buy regular manufacturers production. And after the renovation is completed, it must be dried for a period of time before moving in.

The environmentally friendly material only means that the material meets the standard, and the content is within the limit, which does not mean that your room will not be polluted, indoor air is a long-term accumulation process, even if the board does not contain formaldehyde, it does not mean that other substances will not contain formaldehyde.

Materials that may exceed, formaldehyde:

Material 1: Wooden wardrobe

Wooden wardrobes are a necessity for the family, with high decorative and practical value, and many people will choose them. But there is a lot of formaldehyde hidden in the wooden wardrobe. Do you know?

First of all, when painting, the paint contains more formaldehyde, and then in the later splicing, a lot of adhesives or coatings will be added. Therefore, the content of formaldehyde is very high, and it will continue to release formaldehyde indoors after moving to the home.

Material 2: Inferior adhesive

Adhesive is one of the interior decoration accessories, don't think it's "small" and ignore its role. As the saying goes, "without aldehyde, it will not become a binder", because it can be seen that one of the main components in the adhesive is formaldehyde, so it is necessary to use as little as possible, and if you really want to use it, you can buy a qualified quality. Indoor formaldehyde pollution is inevitable, and the removal of formaldehyde every day must continue!

Methods of removing formaldehyde:

Method 1: Scientific aldehyde removal

It is a new type of formaldehyde removal material, and its greatest effect is not only adsorption, but also decomposition. It can adsorb a large amount of formaldehyde floating in the air, and after adsorption, it can also be completely eliminated by virtue of its own decomposition. This whole process forms a process of circular governance, so it is not easy to be saturated, and it can be used for a long time without changing it.

Method 2: Plants

Growing greenery indoors (such as pothos, aloe vera, and other common and inexpensive plants) not only decorates a space, but also purifies the air and adsorbs formaldehyde molecules. However, the amount of formaldehyde that plants can absorb can only be used as an aid to the removal of formaldehyde, and in order to quickly and significantly reduce the concentration of formaldehyde, it must be used in conjunction with other methods.

Method 3: Ventilation

Ventilation is a job that every household does, so it can improve indoor air quality and also reduce formaldehyde. It's just that the new house has just been renovated, and formaldehyde cannot be removed by ventilation alone. After all, many weather conditions that cannot be rolled back to open the window for ventilation are unavoidable, and formaldehyde will continue to accumulate at this time, so we still use it with a variety of methods to be safer.
