Nearly five times the furniture pollution exceeds the standard

The pursuit of a non-toxic, harmless, pollution-free living environment has become the mainstream trend of people's lives today. With the increasing demand for quality of life in society, the concept of green decoration has attracted more and more attention. However, what kind of decoration is green?

Environmental protection materials, it is not easy to find you

In order to be environmentally friendly, the first thing that comes to mind is to use environmentally friendly materials. Some of the chemical compounds contained in the decoration materials, such as benzene, phenol, aldehydes and their derivatives, are harmful to the human body, among which the benzene compounds have been identified by the World Health Organization as a strong carcinogen. The World Bank has listed the harmful pollution of building materials as one of the four most critical environmental issues in the world. Long-term inhalation of humans may cause more than 30 diseases.

The general manager of an indoor purification company told reporters that some of the chemical substances in relatively poor materials will remain for a long time. “After some time went to a homeowner's home to detect and found that the pollution data of a 20-year-old furniture had exceeded the standard. Nearly 5 times." Manager Zhou told reporters.

How to choose materials that are environmentally friendly is a big problem that is facing the decorator. Mr. Yang, who is preparing for the renovation, has this dilemma: "Every business owner says that his materials are environmentally friendly. Who do I believe in?"

The reporter visited a number of building materials markets. All sales staff have assured reporters that their own materials are in line with national standards. There is no need to worry about them. However, there are still many cases of excessive home-made pollution caused by the decoration materials.

In this case, the brand building materials currently on the market are basically in line with environmental protection standards, but once the standard of our country is still relatively low compared to the standards of European developed countries, the accumulation of chemical substances in these materials is also not allowed. Small vision. In addition, because most consumers do not have professional knowledge, it is easy to buy counterfeit and shoddy products, and these fake and shoddy products have great harm to consumers' health.

So, how can we buy environmentally friendly building materials? "A lot of comparisons, look more, do not covet small cheap, try to find some of the more well-known brands, even if there is a problem, but also to discuss a statement." A recently renovated owner said in a post.

Details and construction can not be ignored

Not only to identify the authenticity of the main material, decoration of the owners must also strictly control the details and construction. An owner told reporters that the materials used in his home renovation were carefully selected by themselves, and were all absolute brand-name and environmentally-friendly products. However, when the test was completed, the pollution index exceeded several times. Finding the cause everywhere, the final finding was that the glue used during the construction of the worker was too high for harmful substances. "The glue should be prepared by the worker's own master. He did not think that these small things would be such a big problem." The owner told reporters with helplessness.

An administrator of a home furnishing forum in Nanjing told reporters that many of the owners’ homes in the forum exceeded their standards and were having problems with small details such as glue. In particular, the environmental protection awareness of everyone is getting stronger and stronger recently. When buying main materials, they all pay special attention to environmental protection issues. However, these small details that are often difficult to notice often cause the owners to come back.

“The decoration is indeed a very tedious thing. There are so many things to consider. The owner is not a decoration expert. It is necessary for the owner to consider all aspects to be perfect and a bit difficult.” said the administrator.

In the face of pollution, can we do something?

There is no pollution at all after the renovation. It seems impossible to everyone. The owners can almost recognize this. But what kind of measures should be taken in the face of pollution, the owners gave different answers. “Activated carbon has some effects and the effects of plants are actually minimal.” When asked which measures were relatively effective, the home administrator told the reporter, “As far as ventilation is concerned, this must be done. If conditions permit, it is better to be able to Find a professional company to do some testing and governance.”

The reporter has learned that there are many families or companies that have been looking for professional environmental management companies to do pollution control of new houses after the renovation.

According to reports, the so-called indoor environmental governance refers to "through technical means, use non-toxic and harmless products, long-term effective removal of indoor hazardous substances," governance will be effective long-term Caixing. “If it cannot be effective for a long period of time, it means that after a period of time, the owner will still be harmed by harmful substances.”

Nowadays, more and more people are paying attention to the indoor environment. However, many people now have the misunderstanding of "re-inspection and light governance." After the test, it is generally just a matter of ventilation through simple windows. "But the window cannot be left open. It is not enough to let these harmful substances evaporate in just one or two months."

After listening to a friend who has just finished decorating, the decoration is like a "war". Are you ready to face this even more arduous "green war" that takes time and effort?
