Is formaldehyde 012 considered excessive?

Formaldehyde is extremely harmful to the human body. If the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard seriously, it will not only lead to the risk of cancer, but also the risk of death. Generally, the best formaldehyde concentration allowed in the air is 0.08 mg/m3. If it exceeds 0.08 mg/m3, it is considered that the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard. For a house that has just been renovated, it is best not to rush to move in. It is best to ventilate the house for a while before moving in.

Different levels of formaldehyde concentration will cause different harm to the human body, especially to pregnant women and children.

When the formaldehyde content is 0.1-0.15, it will be accompanied by irritation to the body's organs, such as irritation to the nose and eyes, and may induce rhinitis, but generally there will be no major problems. However, some formaldehyde removal methods should also be adopted, such as ventilation, placing plants, activated carbon and other physical formaldehyde removal methods.

When the formaldehyde content is 0.15-0.2, the smell will be more obvious as soon as you enter the room. At this stage, it is mainly a stimulation to the body's organs. If the body is more sensitive, you may experience some physical discomfort and decreased resistance. This can still be removed by some physical formaldehyde removal methods, which will take about half a year.

When the formaldehyde content is above 0.5, it can irritate the eyes and cause tearing, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, coughing, chest tightness, asthma and even emphysema. In a short period of time, it can cause fetal malformations in pregnant women and leukemia in children.

Before moving into a new house, you can ask a professional formaldehyde testing agency to conduct a test, or purchase a home formaldehyde detector online, but the error will be relatively large.

The country now has two standards: one is 0.08mg/cubic meter of the Construction Committee, and the other is 0.10mg/cubic meter of the Ministry of Health. It is considered safe only if it meets these two standards. If it exceeds these standards, the formaldehyde level is excessive. As long as the formaldehyde level is excessive, the house cannot be occupied. If there are babies living in a house with excessive formaldehyde, it may induce respiratory diseases.

During the decoration process, we must consider the environmental protection issues of materials, try not to use density boards, and reduce the use of glue. After the decoration is completed, conduct indoor environmental testing. If formaldehyde levels exceed the standard, do not move in. Families with children should pay more attention.
