How do you know if the formaldehyde and heavy metals in the new furniture are exceeded?

According to the Municipal Consumer Association, more and more people come to consult or complain about pungent and unpleasant furniture, but because there is no special standard for testing the formaldehyde content of furniture, such complaints are quite tricky to deal with.

So, can the formaldehyde content of furniture exceed the standard be detected? In this regard, experts from the municipal quality inspection department said that there is a way to test. Because the state has strict standards for the formaldehyde emission of plywood, particleboard, joinery, medium density fiberboard and other woods, and furniture is generally made of these woods, as long as the sampling and testing, it is difficult to escape the "sharp eyes" of the instrument.

Of course, this type of testing requires destructive sampling of furniture, which is often difficult for consumers to accept. However, if the "elimination method" is adopted, it can also be revealed, that is, the furniture and unfurniture rooms have been tested, such as the furniture room, the formaldehyde concentration in the air exceeds 0 08 mg per cubic meter of the national mandatory health standard, and the unfurnished indoor does not exceed the standard, you can immediately determine the truth.

It is reported that since 1999, the quality inspection department has to act as a "fair referee" for several disputes over the formaldehyde content of furniture every year, and the judgment results have convinced the parties.

However, some consumers pointed out that when they go to a large shopping mall to buy furniture, due to the large space, the nose smell is not so smart, and they will negotiate when they move home and smell the pungent smell, even if there is a certificate that the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard, they always feel a lot of trouble. To this end, they called for the floor inspection service that has been launched to be extended to furniture, that is, the formaldehyde content of factory furniture is checked by an impartial quality inspection agency, and the qualified ones are labeled with a green mark, so that they can rest assured when purchasing.

Generally speaking, it is inevitable that the smell of a new home is very strong. I myself do soft decoration, and the smell of the furniture ordered is also super strong. The harm aspect is also very large. However, regular ventilation can remove formaldehyde.

Because of the use of various plywood, even solid wood furniture is inevitable to use a variety of adhesives, formaldehyde and other harmful substances will be more or less, and the heavy metals that exceed the standard in addition to being judged roughly by the sense of smell, it is difficult to accurately identify, through the relevant detection methods can be detected, Shandong is a better testing agency, Qingdao can also be detected.

New furniture will have formaldehyde, even the kind of furniture that has been used for decades will continue to release formaldehyde.

If you buy it back, as long as it is handled well, you still don't have to worry, as long as it is regularly ventilated, it is okay.
