Formaldehyde is hurting your baby, don't think that if you don't decorate, it's okay with you!
In recent years, air purifiers have gradually entered ordinary homes, indicating that people's requirements for air quality are getting higher and higher. But many people still have certain misunderstandings about formaldehyde, especially families with babies! In indoor air pollution, it is formaldehyde that makes people "frightened". Many mothers measure the solubility of formaldehyde by taste and tastelessness, and this wrong way often makes the baby suffer from formaldehyde for a long time. This article is based on formaldehyde, elaborating on those culprits that hurt the baby, please read it carefully and patiently for the baby!
The number one culprit of leukemia
Although the World Health Organization believes that formaldehyde-induced leukemia in children has "obvious but insufficient evidence", recent research by Fang Yongjun and others in Nanjing Children's Hospital shows that decoration pollution is one of the main causes of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Through the data, the cases of acute leukemia have increased rapidly in recent years, of which acute lymphoblastic leukemia accounts for 80% of acute leukemia.
As early as the 70s of the last century, scientists have confirmed that high concentrations of formaldehyde have carcinogenic effects on the human body. This fulfills the popular saying that leukemia prefers infants and toddlers who have just moved to a new home.
From the above explanation, it is enough to show that the high concentration of formaldehyde released by unqualified decoration materials in interior decoration is the number one killer that harms your baby!

Abuse of baby for 15 years
After the decoration, the general misunderstanding of Baoma is that as long as the smell of interior decoration is from "smelly" to "tasteless", everything will be fine. But often overlooked a very important point, free formaldehyde in the air can last for 10-15 years, smell the pungent odor, formaldehyde has exceeded the standard by 4-8 times, even if the indoor smell can not smell, the free formaldehyde in the air may still exceed the standard 3 times. Because of the inability to smell the pungent odor, but also because most mothers ignore this key point, neglect prevention, it is easy to let the baby inhale for a long time, causing various injuries to the body, becoming a very important victim of formaldehyde injury!
Without decoration, formaldehyde is not non-existent
Many people equate formaldehyde and decoration, thinking that only in the decoration room will there be formaldehyde exceeding the standard. In fact, even after many years of renovation, formaldehyde may still be present in the home.
1. Decoration remains
Newly installed houses and furniture are still active periods of formaldehyde in about 3 years, and formaldehyde will volatilize when exposed to heat and tide, resulting in seasonal formaldehyde exceeding the standard, endangering the health of babies and families!
2. New furniture
As your baby grows older, your baby's furniture will change as the situation goes. Because it is a small-scale replacement, the mother often ignores the presence of formaldehyde, so that the baby can use it directly. Because no measures to remove formaldehyde have been taken, it may cause various discomforts to the baby, and severe cases can cause formaldehyde poisoning in the baby and cause various diseases.
3. Newly purchased clothes
Now the family has only one baby, and they have long lost the habit of wearing a hundred family clothes. However, wearing new clothes is not all "joyful", which is easy to cause formaldehyde poisoning at this time. In order to make clothes, especially denim clothes, smoother, wrinkle resistant and firm in color, many clothing manufacturers will add chemicals containing formaldehyde in the production process, and jeans of different shades should not be more careful, because the use of formaldehyde substances may be contained in the process of bleaching and dyeing.
Formaldehyde damage to the baby
1. Due to the poor resistance of infants and young children, rapid reaction and obvious symptoms under high concentrations of formaldehyde, such as headache, frequent colds, edema, eye irritation, etc.!
2. Long-term exposure to low concentrations of formaldehyde may cause the following childhood diseases
(1) Induce blood diseases in children, and the circumstances are serious as acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
(2) Increase the incidence of childhood asthma.
(3) Make children's intelligence greatly reduced, it can be seen that formaldehyde can cause greater harm to children's body and intelligence.
Formaldehyde removal "protracted battle"
So many harms have been said above, in fact, letting the baby avoid harm is the focus of this article. To remove the proposition of formaldehyde, the first concept that Baoma must establish is "protracted war". Secondly, it is free, and many powerful formaldehyde products on the market are only commercial hype and cannot be relied on too much. To remove formaldehyde, you will choose a way that will not cause secondary pollution. Only in this way can the mother really effectively avoid the damage of the baby from formaldehyde!
1. Keep indoor air circulating
Open doors and windows frequently, so that air convection can allow formaldehyde to be volatilized, so that it will not always stay indoors, resulting in an increase in indoor formaldehyde concentration. In summer, as the weather becomes hotter and hotter, air conditioners will be used more frequently, and this time is also a period of high volatility of formaldehyde, so it is more necessary to do a good job of opening windows and ventilation to prevent indoor formaldehyde poisoning. In winter, moisture is also a high volatile period of formaldehyde, can not be closed because of the cold and closed doors and windows, must also ensure proper ventilation to volatilize formaldehyde. If possible, you can choose to install a fresh air system.
2. Green plants assist absorption
Placing plants at home can not only play a beautiful role, but also play a role in removing formaldehyde, mothers can choose hanging orchids, ivy, agave, aloe vera and other plants to help remove formaldehyde. Although the selection of plants to remove formaldehyde is effective, due to the limited absorption of plants and limited by the various characteristics of plants, mothers must not put all the tasks of removing formaldehyde on plants, and need to take other measures to remove indoor formaldehyde.
3. Air purifier
Choose an air purifier with formaldehyde removal function, and choose one or two according to the area of the house. And replace the filter element and clean it regularly as required.
4. Clean the room frequently
Keeping the room clean is also a simple and effective way to treat formaldehyde!
4. Buy baby clothes carefully
When parents buy baby clothes, they need to look at the label, recognize the raw materials, smell the smell, rinse repeatedly, and ventilate and dry five ways to reduce the harm of formaldehyde
5. Ventilation without opening windows - install fresh air system
The fundamental way to solve the problem of formaldehyde is still a full range of ventilation, natural ventilation methods such as window opening are outdated, relying on the mechanical fan blades of the fresh air system, orderly, large air volume, efficient ventilation has been a cost-effective solution. The fresh air system can continuously discharge indoor polluted air, including formaldehyde, through continuous air supply and return air, and continuously send the outdoor air into the room after cleaning treatment, and continuously circulate operation, which can effectively remove formaldehyde emitted by indoor furniture.
Experts introduced that the installation of the fresh air system is equivalent to installing a green "lung" on the house, which can ventilate 24 hours a day without opening the window, and continue to strongly discharge the toxic gases volatile from the decoration such as formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia in the room to protect human health.
