How long did it take to realize that formaldehyde is harmful to your body after moving into a new house?

Moving into a new house always makes people happy, and the newly renovated house is also very beautiful. At this time, for those who are moving into a new home, they should first find a professional organization to conduct indoor toxic substance testing, and they can only move in if it meets the standards for moving in. If the formaldehyde content in a newly renovated house exceeds the standard, it will cause great harm to the body, especially for infants and young children. We must pay attention to this aspect.

1. Now there are many institutions that provide services to check whether the indoor formaldehyde exceeds the standard. If the inspection result exceeds the standard, it means that you cannot move in and you need to wait for a while. Therefore, there is no standard for how long it will take to move in after the decoration is completed, and the main basis is based on air quality testing. The calculation method based on how long it takes to move in after renovation is based on the minimum time limit, which is the longest time it takes for pollutants in the home to develop. The specific time can be found by understanding what kind of paints are used in home decoration and how long these paints take to evaporate the harmful substances. This period of time should be at least one month, the longer the better.

2. If you are in a hurry to move in, you can use some methods to speed up the dissipation of harmful gases. You can use electric fans to speed up air circulation, open all doors and windows, place green plants, etc. However, some pollutants cannot be eliminated all at once. For example, formaldehyde in furniture requires a slow process to volatilize. Therefore, if family members experience dizziness, nausea, etc. when moving in, they should seek medical attention in time, temporarily move out of the newly renovated house, and find another place to live.

1. The harm of formaldehyde after the new house is renovated is very great. Formaldehyde has a strong irritating effect on human skin and mucous membranes. Inhalation of high concentrations of formaldehyde can cause serious irritation and edema of the human respiratory tract, eye irritation, headache, and even cancer.

2. Long-term inhalation of formaldehyde by the human body poses a great risk of cancer, and in severe cases it can develop into leukemia.

3. Long-term exposure to formaldehyde will damage human hearing, and may also cause problems such as dizziness, fatigue, and imbalance of body balance.

4. Long-term exposure to formaldehyde in women can cause irregular menstruation and affect reproductive function.

5. Long-term contact of human skin with formaldehyde will cause redness, swelling, blisters, etc.
