A few days ago, we learned from the news that an Ali employee passed away after suffering from leukemia after living in the formaldehyde room for two months. Although the direct cause is still uncertain, the content of formaldehyde in the free form does exceed the standard. The familiar term "formaldehyde" became sensitive.
Formaldehyde, chemical formula HCHO or CH₂O, formula weight 30.03, also known as formic aldehyde. Colorless gas, pungent odor, irritating to human eyes, nose, etc., belongs to a class of carcinogens. Most of the formaldehyde is produced from unqualified materials after the house decoration, so it is not suitable to move in immediately after the house decoration. Long-term inhalation of formaldehyde is harmful to the body, and most of them can cause leukemia.
And why does the issue of formaldehyde attract my attention as a car media person? It doesn’t seem to take any side, but in fact the problem of formaldehyde also appeared in the materials of the car early, and it caused a lot of harm to the car owner, so I took advantage of the heat of the formaldehyde room to warn again. The hazard of formaldehyde in the car.
Last year, Mr. Pan of Quanzhou bought a new car with a value of 260,000. Because of its many uses, he had to drive it every day. After driving for more than 20 days, he felt breathing difficulties, dizziness, and chest tightness. Myocarditis and ultra-fast premature beats were resolved, and he was discharged from the hospital after a short period of treatment.
But after driving that car, another 20 days later, the discomfort reappeared. The doctor suspected of inhaling formaldehyde, but the house was not newly renovated, so he felt that the problem was with the car. As a result of measurement, the appraisal concluded that the car was sent for inspection. The internal formaldehyde exceeds the standard, the indicator is 0.114 mg/m3, and the normal standard should be ≤0.08 mg/m3, and the body recovered after stopping the car.
You should know that there are two discomforts about the health problems caused by formaldehyde in the car. Some are not noticed due to chronic absorption, and may even cause miscarriage of pregnant women and fetal malformations. However, most of the current cars are still caused by the car. The material cannot completely eliminate formaldehyde. And some cars, even if they are older, will still emit formaldehyde gas in the summer when they are exposed to the sun.
How to avoid formaldehyde damage?
If you have children or pregnant women at home, you must include environmentally friendly interior materials as one of the conditions for selecting a car before buying a car. Check the model information in advance. Vehicles such as Volvo use environmentally friendly and anti-allergic materials.
Buying a charcoal bag, this step may seem redundant, but it is really useful. Activated carbon can effectively adsorb formaldehyde and other gases. For many new cars we just bought, we will smell pungent odors, which are mixed with formaldehyde, so using activated carbon adsorption can greatly reduce the concentration of formaldehyde.
When the vehicle has not been used for a long time, you must open the door to change the air when driving again, especially after the vehicle has been exposed to the sun in the summer, and then get in the vehicle with completely unobstructed air. At the same time, turn on the external circulation of the vehicle's air conditioner to ensure air rotation.
Many cars now have a clean air filter system. This system can effectively filter out PM2.5 and other air quality problems, so if you have one, you can use it frequently. If you don’t have one, you can also buy an air filter system on the Internet. The price is not expensive. .
Summarize:
Basically, the car will have the formaldehyde problem, but it is more or less, as long as it does not exceed the safety standard. However, we have always paid very little attention to health problems, especially such chronic hazards. It is too late to regret it if we have to wait for the real physical condition. Therefore, for car owners whose teammates have cars, I suggest that they must avoid the formaldehyde problem to harm themselves in time and take measures at the root cause.
