The hazards of quartz stone

Many people are familiar with quartz stone. This material is often used in daily decoration. It has many advantages, such as beautiful appearance, certain hardness, and good stability. However, when using quartz stone, we must also understand some shortcomings, such as it is not wear-resistant and prone to dust. If this dust is inhaled by the human body, it is quite harmful. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Although quartz stone is an ideal decorative material, it has some shortcomings. For example, it is not wear-resistant, so it is easy to produce powder particles due to friction and other behaviors. If quartz stone powder particles are not inhaled frequently, it will cause respiratory diseases.

Nowadays, quartz stone is widely used in decoration and the demand in the market is very large. In order to make huge profits, some unscrupulous manufacturers mix some glue containing formaldehyde into the quartz stone during the production process to artificially synthesize quartz stone. Formaldehyde has the characteristic of long-term volatilization, so even if it is left for a long time, there will still be formaldehyde residue in the quartz stone. The incubation period of formaldehyde is about 3 to 10 years. If the indoor temperature is too high, it will more easily accelerate the volatilization of formaldehyde toxic gas. In serious cases, it can induce cancer in the human body.

Nowadays, the price of quartz stone in the market is relatively high. Therefore, in order to obtain higher economic returns, some manufacturers will add heavy metal materials or directly add organic solvents to the quartz stone when producing it. We often come into contact with quartz stone products at home. These heavy metals and organic solvents can easily enter the human body through skin contact, directly affecting people's digestive system and physiological functions.

From the above, we can see that inferior quartz stone contains a lot of harmful substances, so how can we buy qualified quartz stone? The editor believes that everyone should pay attention to the following points when buying quartz stone:

1. Qualified quality quartz stone is made of environmentally friendly materials and smells like a very natural stone. On the contrary, inferior quartz stone has formaldehyde added to the product, and the smell of formaldehyde is strong, so everyone can tell it at the first smell.

2. In addition to smelling, you can also judge by touching and using tools. People usually carry keys with them when they go out. So when you buy a quartz stone, use the key to scratch it hard. If there are no scratches, only the metallic color of the key itself is left. At the same time, when we touch it with our hands, it is still soft and smooth. This kind of quartz stone is of qualified quality.

4. In addition, you can also use sandpaper to rub the surface of the quartz stone. If the quartz stone is easily rubbed off into powdery particles, it may contain organic glue. This kind of quartz stone is completely a representative of inferior products.
