After testing the 85 wooden furniture manufacturing enterprises in the country, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine found that there are at least 15 kinds of chemical poisons in each enterprise, up to 31 species, which exceeds the standard; among them, enterprises with excessive benzene account for 89.0%, with the highest exceeding 121.5 times; Enterprises with excessive formaldehyde accounted for 76.9%, with a maximum of 116 times exceeding the standard.

Ms. Meng is an ordinary citizen of Yanshi City, Henan Province. She couldn’t think of it. A gas she never knew was “hidden” into her life without knowing it.

From the initial cough to the later blood in the sputum, and later to the difficulty of breathing, syncope, Ms. Meng spent the past year in such torture. Not only that, Ms. Meng also told reporters: "This year, people living in a street also began to appear similar symptoms to her: cough, bloody, breathing difficulties."

The results of the tests performed by the doctors were: bronchitis caused by respiratory infections or mild pneumonia. Where does the source of infection come from? Ms. Meng found that every time it rains or snows, the symptoms will be alleviated, and the most serious symptom is about 5 pm. At this time, it is the furniture factory that started construction at the end of 2009. .

In order to verify her suspicions, Ms. Meng specially found a friend who had worked in the furniture factory. For the first time, she knew such a term - formaldehyde.

"hidden"

Ms. Meng learned from this friend that there is a large amount of formaldehyde in the furniture plates and painted paints, and Ms. Meng’s furniture factory next door is just a family workshop. The paint spraying is carried out outdoors, which has led to the accumulation of air in the long run. A lot of formaldehyde.

The friend also told reporters: "The health of front-line workers in furniture companies will also be seriously affected by high-toxicity of formaldehyde, as well as residents near the factory. If consumers purchase unqualified products, the excess formaldehyde will pass. The respiratory tract, skin, etc. enter the body, causing damage to the nervous system, respiratory system, hematopoietic system, etc., and even causing poisoning or death."

At present, formaldehyde has been identified as a carcinogenic and teratogenic substance by the World Health Organization. It is also one of the potential strong mutagens, and its excessive release will seriously endanger human health. Studies have shown that the formaldehyde contained in the decoration and furniture has a release period of 3 to 15 years. The reporter learned from the Youth League Committee of the Zhejiang Provincial Environmental Protection Department that in the recent free air quality testing activities for citizens, after a 9-year renovation, a citizen still detected that the formaldehyde of the furniture exceeded twice the standard.

After testing the 85 wooden furniture manufacturing enterprises in the country, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine found that there are at least 15 kinds of chemical poisons in each enterprise, up to 31 species, which exceeds the standard; among them, enterprises with excessive benzene account for 89.0%, with the highest exceeding 121.5 times; Enterprises with excessive formaldehyde accounted for 76.9%, with a maximum of 116 times exceeding the standard.

The cost is stupid

Xu Guanrong, secretary general of the Shanghai Furniture Industry Association, told the reporter: "The formaldehyde content of furniture exceeds the standard, mainly because in the process of processing, once the formaldehyde content of the plate, glue and paint cannot be guaranteed, the formaldehyde content of the furniture will unconsciously exceed the standard. In order to reduce costs, companies buy inferior plates. Environmentally friendly materials have low formaldehyde content but high cost. Compared with inferior plates, the difference between each piece ranges from 60-100 yuan."

According to the reporter's understanding, the most important raw materials in sheet metal furniture, such as sheet metal, particle board, MDF, etc., are generally made of glue and contain a certain amount of formaldehyde. The plates that meet the national standards are E0, E1, E2, of which E0 is the most environmentally friendly, and the lowest formaldehyde content, of course, the cost is also the highest.

At present, according to national regulations, the amount of formaldehyde released from furniture should be less than 0.15mg/m3. Xu Guanrong pointed out: "Sometimes manufacturers purchase environmentally friendly E0 and E1 plates, but in the process of processing, formaldehyde, paint and other factors will cause formaldehyde to exceed the standard."

The Secretary General of the Shanghai Raw Materials Committee should tell reporters: "Even if green building materials are used, there is no guarantee that formaldehyde will be exceeded. Although the company has the material certification standards, if the inspection is not strict in the production process, it cannot guarantee that it is environmentally friendly. ."

In this regard, it should be re-emphasized that the government and enterprises should work together to manage the problem of excessive formaldehyde in the source. At the same time, Xu Guanrong called on production companies to raise their sense of responsibility and environmental awareness. At the institutional level, Lu Weiguang hopes that the state can unify the equipment and methods for formaldehyde detection, so that the testing equipment and methods of enterprises and cities, cities and cities are consistent, reducing the artificial formaldehyde caused by excessive standards, and truly reassuring consumers.
