Today, whether it’s men, women, or children, everyone has heard of the chemical term formaldehyde. Known as the "star" in this industry, formaldehyde is beloved by businesses despite its bad reputation among consumers. Recently, the Beijing Municipal Quality Supervision Department announced the results of a local furniture quality inspection, revealing that 32 types of non-compliant furniture had been found, with 12 of them having excessive formaldehyde levels. Most of these problematic pieces were bedside tables commonly placed next to beds. Imagine trying to "detoxify" a bedside table—doesn’t it feel like trying to clean up after someone who used to be known as the "Khrushchev who slept around"? But what's even scarier than a "Khrushchev" in the bedroom is the fact that some vegetable farmers, as exposed by the media, use formaldehyde to keep vegetables fresh. Additionally, vegetables like yams and mushrooms have also been found to be sprayed with formaldehyde solutions. Industry insiders say that the use of preservatives has practically become a "hidden rule." For small profits, public health is disregarded. What happened to the conscience of these practitioners?
Chemical experts explain that formaldehyde is widely used in synthetic resins, plastics, rubber, leather, paper, dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, photographic films, explosives, building materials, as well as in disinfection, fumigation, andé˜²è… processes. It’s truly an all-rounder in the chemical industry. However, everything has its limits. When used beyond standards, it brings negative consequences. Reports indicate that formaldehyde poses several major health risks: irritations, sensitizations, and mutagenic effects. First, formaldehyde primarily irritates the skin and mucous membranes. It binds with proteins causing severe respiratory irritation, swelling, eye irritation, headaches, and bronchial asthma. Second, sensitization occurs when direct contact leads to allergic dermatitis, pigmentation, necrosis, and chronic inhalation can result in mucosal congestion, skin irritation, and even nail keratosis and brittleness. Third, formaldehyde is genotoxic at high concentrations, potentially causing deformities or even deaths in newborns for pregnant women and sperm deformities in men. Thus, formaldehyde, once out of control, becomes a real danger.
Why do businesses continue to misuse formaldehyde despite knowing its harm? First, businesses lack both morality and a basic sense of responsibility. They prioritize sales over ethics, resulting in "toxic furniture," seafood scares, and fears of formaldehyde-laden dishes. Second, formaldehyde is inexpensive and easy to apply. Industry insiders report that its low cost makes it attractive for manufacturers, even if used excessively. Although China has developed formaldehyde-free finishing agents and eco-friendly urea-formaldehyde resins, they remain underutilized due to high costs. This economic factor keeps formaldehyde entrenched in industries. Strict oversight is needed, similar to how other hazardous chemicals are regulated. Businesses must adhere to standards, with severe penalties for violations. Remember, producing good products leads to good returns. Otherwise, the cycle of retribution will continue—you might sell toxic furniture and end up eating "formaldehyde vegetables."
