The Formaldehyde Content in WPC Materials is Much Lower Than That in Drinking Water

Wood-plastic materials are loved by everyone for their excellent quality of ecology and environmental protection, and people call them ecological materials. The environmental protection of WPC materials is reflected in many aspects, among which the low formaldehyde content is a highlight.

When decorating a new house, people are most worried about the high formaldehyde content.

For example, most of the various boards commonly used in the decoration process use glue, and the formaldehyde in it is difficult to volatilize quickly, and may still exist for several years; there are also various types of latex paint painted during wall decoration. No matter what brand it is, it is almost impossible to completely eliminate formaldehyde.
The harm of formaldehyde to the human body has been paid more and more attention, especially for infants and pregnant women.

There are three reasons why formaldehyde is the most harmful to infants and young children:

First of all, the body of infants and young children is not yet fully developed, their body temperature regulation ability is weak, and they need a warm and suitable living environment. To provide such an environment, families and schools generally close doors and windows (at the same time, there will be no ventilation or less ventilation), and use heating in winter. Use an air conditioner to adjust, such an environment happens to be a suitable condition for the normal volatilization of formaldehyde. If the ventilation is not good, it is common to cause formaldehyde and other pollutants in the indoor air to exceed the standard.
Secondly, the breathing volume of infants and young children in the period of rapid growth and development (respiration volume per unit body weight) is twice that of adults, and the breathing height range of infants and young children is exactly the pollution zone where the deposition and distribution of indoor air pollutants such as free formaldehyde are the most serious. If there is formaldehyde and other pollution in the indoor environment, the impact on them is self-evident.
Third, infants and young children have low body immunity and metabolic detoxification ability. For adults, the acceptable pollution concentration may have affected their health, and may cause life-long damage to their children, and even affect their children.
A few years ago, the "American Journal of Epidemiology" published the results of researchers' follow-up studies on newborns, and found that pregnant women inhaled polluted air during pregnancy, and the children born in the future were more likely to suffer from heart diseases . This is the first time researchers have identified a link between environmental pollution and heart disease in newborns.

The total number of children with congenital disabilities is as high as 800,000 to 1.2 million every year in China. According to the analysis of medical experts, “decoration pollution and mental stress are the culprits.”

Let’s take a look at the specific reasons:

On the one hand, in the early stage of pregnancy, fertilized eggs begin to divide and develop, which are easily disturbed and affected by external factors, resulting in problems such as protective abortion and abnormal embryonic development.

On the other hand, in order to adapt to the growth of the embryo, the pregnant woman’s breathing volume is much higher than that required by herself alone. More small molecular pollutants such as formaldehyde will enter the blood with the breath, which will not only damage the immune system and viscera of the pregnant woman, but also directly affect the The health of the fetus will cause serious consequences such as miscarriage, fetal malformation, congenital leukemia, and neonatal chromosomal abnormalities.

In addition, during pregnancy, the liver and kidney metabolism and detoxification ability of pregnant women are already overloaded. If they do not have a good rest, their immunity will be lowered. In addition, they will spend less time indoors, and formaldehyde and other pollutants will damage them for a long time, which will have a more serious impact on the body. .

“The more time a woman spends in an environment containing pollutants during pregnancy, especially in the second month of pregnancy, the more likely she will give birth to a child with serious congenital heart disease.”
American Epidemiologist Beat Ritz

The study also found that children of pregnant women who lived in heavily polluted environments were three times more likely to suffer from heart disease than children born to pregnant women who breathed clean air. It is often said that “maternal love is the greatest in the world”. Today, when indoor air pollution problems such as formaldehyde continue to occur, wood-plastic door engineers remind consumers to fully understand and scientifically control indoor air pollution problems such as formaldehyde.

However, Buzhoushan WPC Doors are produced using environmentally friendly technology, and their formaldehyde content is far lower than that of drinking water. According to the “Drinking Water Hygienic Standard” of China’s national standard, the formaldehyde content of tap water should not exceed 0.9 mg per liter. For the formaldehyde content of Buzhoushan WPC Door Architrave, please see the figure below:
