How big is the influence of formaldehyde on pregnancy?

For expectant mothers, formaldehyde is very harmful. Once pregnant women inhale formaldehyde, they will have dizziness, eye dryness, sore throat and other discomfort, and even cause fetal malformation and even abortion. Although formaldehyde is terrible, there are ways to prevent it.

Effect of formaldehyde on pregnant women

Formaldehyde is a highly toxic substance, which is recognized as carcinogenic and teratogenic by the World Health Organization. If pregnant women are exposed to formaldehyde for a long time, it will cause respiratory diseases, affect the health of the fetus, and induce cancers, such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, colon cancer, brain tumor and gene mutation in the nucleus.

1. When pregnant women stay indoors with formaldehyde concentration higher than .24-.55 mg/m3, their circulatory system, immunity, reproduction and metabolism will be affected, and symptoms such as dizziness, weakness, irritability, irritability and insomnia will easily occur.

2. If pregnant women stay indoors containing formaldehyde for a long time, it is easy to aggravate pregnancy syndrome, and the symptoms of dizziness, weakness, nausea and retching will be more serious. In addition, it may also induce fetal chromosome abnormalities, leading to fetal malformation, brain damage, congenital heart disease and other defects.

3. Pregnant women exposed to formaldehyde for a long time can cause poisoning, anemia and abortion, and also lead to fetal weight loss, fetal malformation and even death.

Therefore, pregnant women should be exposed to formaldehyde as little as possible, especially in the first three months of pregnancy.

There are many commonly used methods to remove formaldehyde, and each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Here, I recommend some common methods.

first, green plant adsorption combined with window ventilation. Characteristics: the treatment capacity of green plants is too small, formaldehyde is slowly volatilized, and green plants can only treat a small part of the volatilized contact with green plants in the air, so it is easy to open windows and is limited by climatic conditions. Suggest as an auxiliary means.

second, coconut charcoal adsorption decomposition technology. Graphene and coconut charcoal made by microporous technology can adsorb and decompose chemical pollutants, which has a good effect on formaldehyde and ammonia. It can speed up the removal of formaldehyde and reduce the harm.

Third, more ventilation, which can dilute the indoor formaldehyde content and reduce the harm to pregnant women.
