How to remove formaldehyde from furniture?

In response to the sharp increase in consumer complaints about furniture, Song Guangsheng, director of the Indoor Environment Monitoring Committee of the China Interior Decoration Association, said in an interview with reporters that the newly bought furniture should not be in a hurry to use, and it is best to let the harmful gases in the furniture be released as soon as possible before use.

The Beijing Consumers Association recently issued a reminder on consumption prevention, reminding the public to pay attention to the harmful gases of furniture that have become a killer of indoor air. According to statistics, in the first half of the year, the Municipal Consumer Association received a total of 594 consumer complaints about furniture, an increase of 10% over the same period last year.

According to the survey and statistics of the Indoor Environment Monitoring Committee of the China Interior Decoration Association, furniture pollution of the indoor environment has become a new problem of indoor environmental pollution after construction pollution and decoration pollution, and has become one of the three major sources of indoor environmental pollution. For this reason, the state has formulated standards for indoor environment and furniture pollution, but because the problem of furniture pollution of indoor environment is a problem involving materials, technology, post-processing and space carrying capacity, at the same time, with the emergence of new materials and the development of the furniture industry, all kinds of fabric furniture, iron furniture, kitchen furniture, office furniture continue to appear, and the problem of furniture pollution of indoor environment is still a prominent problem that needs the attention of the whole society.

Song Guangsheng said that when using the newly bought wardrobe, try not to put underwear, pajamas and children's clothes in it. Because formaldehyde is an allergen, when the amount of formaldehyde that travels from the fibers to the skin exceeds a certain limit, it can cause allergic dermatitis.

At the same time, he reminded manufacturers to select furniture production materials in strict accordance with the national "Limit of Harmful Substances in Wood Furniture" standard; Consumers should pay attention to the carrying capacity of the space when buying furnishing furniture, and families with complex interior decoration or more composite materials should pay attention to prevent excessive harmful substances in the indoor environment caused by the superposition of harmful substances in furniture and decoration materials.

It is reported that in order to implement the relevant national standards and help furniture manufacturers and consumers solve the problem of furniture pollution, the China Indoor Environment Monitoring Committee today established the National Furniture Pollution Prevention and Control Guidance Office.
