Over-standard formaldehyde in mattresses is more harmful than decoration and furniture pollution

The China Indoor Environmental Monitoring Working Committee and the National Indoor Environmental Quality Inspection Center recently jointly issued indoor environmental pollution warnings: the formaldehyde over-standard of mattresses is more serious than the decoration and furniture pollution, and should be alert to the formaldehyde pollution caused by household mattresses.

According to reports, the main causes of formaldehyde pollution in mattresses are as follows.

First, the problem of excessive formaldehyde in the spring soft mattress is mainly on the auxiliary pad. In order to save costs, individual manufacturers use fabrics and sponges that have exceeded the standard of formaldehyde as bedding materials, and the mattresses that are filled out are of course too high in formaldehyde.

Second, some coconut palm or mountain brown as a bedding material, the formaldehyde exceeded the standard. In the production process of brown sheets, some manufacturers blindly added a large amount of adhesives in order to enhance the strength and hardness of the brown sheets. Although the physical properties of the brown sheets were improved, the formaldehyde was continuously released from the adhesive, causing the formaldehyde to exceed the standard seriously.

Third, the luxury ultra-thick mattresses have a lot of formaldehyde. The filling of the mattress is a urine aldehyde resin bubble formed by the combination of urea and formaldehyde. Once the manufacturer's process is not enough, the formaldehyde is easily decomposed.

Excessive formaldehyde in mattresses is more serious than decoration and furniture pollution, and should be vigilant.

The mattress is the most "close" furniture to people. It is closest to people's respiratory tract and skin. A person sleeps in bed for at least 6 hours a day. Some old, weak, sick and children spend more time in bed. There is a pollution problem, and the harm to human health is much greater than other decorative materials and furniture.

Mattress contamination problems are particularly vulnerable to consumer neglect. Most people know that decoration materials and furniture will cause formaldehyde pollution in the indoor environment, but it is difficult to imagine that the mattress with bright and beautiful appearance will also have formaldehyde pollution, so the problem of mattress pollution is difficult to find.

The mattress is exposed to the air for a long time, and the release of formaldehyde is slow and uninterrupted. On the one hand, it directly harms people's health, on the other hand, it is also the main source of formaldehyde pollution in the indoor environment.

The condition of the mattress is the bedroom. Under normal circumstances, the space of the bedroom is correspondingly smaller, and the volume of the mattress is relatively large, which easily causes formaldehyde pollution in the bedroom. Moreover, the mattress is not like the drawer of a wooden furniture, the door of the cabinet, etc., can block the formaldehyde, can reduce or reduce the amount of formaldehyde emission, the surface of the mattress is a textile material, the inside is an uncontrollable material, so it cannot be closed.

How can consumers choose a qualified, pollution-free, high-quality mattress? Song Guangsheng, director of the China Indoor Environmental Monitoring Working Committee and the National Indoor Environmental Quality Inspection Center, believes that it is necessary to pay attention to the following two questions:

A look at the price: for example, a 1.5m × 1.9m ordinary big bed, in order to ensure the quality of sponges, springs, wrapped fabrics, fillers, etc., the cost must be at least 400-500 yuan, if lower than this price, consumption The person has the right to suspect that there is a problem with the source of the raw materials.

Second smell: You can open the package of the mattress and feel the smell inside. On the one hand, the inferior mattress will have the odor of formaldehyde pollution. On the other hand, if the mattress is filled with some unqualified soft materials, it will happen. Mildew or rot, causing microbes to exceed the standard and giving off an unpleasant smell.

Three questions: Consumers are best to buy big brands with after-sales service. Consumers can also ask a few questions when purchasing. For example, according to national regulations, if the spring density does not reach 55%, it will not meet the standard. You can also check the instructions. If the instructions are not clear about these problems, it is definitely a problematic mattress.

Fourth, pay attention to indoor environmental pollution. If you find that the spring soft mattress is purchased, the indoor environment is seriously polluted, or your family has health problems, it is best to check the indoor environment in time to find the pollution problem in time. At the same time, pay attention to the newly purchased mattresses, and also pay attention to ventilation and purification to prevent damage to family health.

Disruption of formaldehyde caused by mattress

On October 15, 2007, the case of Mr. Shi, a citizen of Beijing, who purchased a mattress and caused formaldehyde pollution in the indoor environment was heard in the Beijing Dongcheng Court. This is the first case in China that causes indoor environmental pollution due to the release of harmful substances from mattresses. It is understood that in November 2004, Mr. Shi purchased a new mattress from a building material city in Beijing and placed it in his daughter's room. Since then, he has found that there is a "mixed taste of glue and textiles" in the house, and the family has a headache and leg weakness. Mr. Shi found the manufacturer to change the mattress twice, and the odor still could not be eliminated. After the return, the aftertaste has not disappeared for 3 years, and a lawsuit was filed for the merchant to eliminate the formaldehyde in the home and compensate for the loss of more than 10,000 yuan.

Ms. Hua from Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, bought a commercial house in a certain district of Changzhou City, and asked the local indoor environmental monitoring center to test the air quality after renovation. After testing, the formaldehyde content of the master bedroom is 0.98mg/m3, exceeding the standard by more than 10 times, but the formaldehyde content of the second bedroom and the north bedroom is 0.25mg/m3. The three rooms are almost the same size, the main bedroom is only two There are more mattresses in the bedroom. Why is the formaldehyde content so high? After testing, the "culprit" is the mattress of the master bedroom.
