Effects of formaldehyde on male pregnancy preparation

Formaldehyde is a substance that is harmful to the human body. Generally, after decoration, there will be more or less formaldehyde in the room. Staying in an environment with a lot of formaldehyde for a long time will lead to a decline in the quality of men's sperm. However, compared with the impact of formaldehyde on men in the pregnancy period, the impact of formaldehyde on pregnant women and fetuses is the greatest. Below, we will introduce the impact of formaldehyde in detail.

1. What harm does formaldehyde cause to pregnant women?

1. Induce respiratory, eye, and skin diseases

Formaldehyde is highly irritating, and expectant mothers with poor immunity are very susceptible to it, suffering from respiratory, eye and skin diseases. No matter which disease it is, it will inevitably affect the normal development of the fetus.

2. Shorten the pregnancy period and induce miscarriage

The reactions of formaldehyde poisoning are usually similar to those of pregnancy, such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and frequent colds, which can easily lead pregnant women to mistake them for pregnancy reactions and ignore them. In this way, expectant mothers stay in a room containing formaldehyde toxic gas for a long time without realizing the harm, which affects the development of the fetus, greatly shortens the pregnancy period, and even causes miscarriage in severe cases.

2. What harm does formaldehyde cause to infants and young children?

1. Induce blood diseases in infants and young children

Formaldehyde poisoning has become the main culprit for leukemia. It is reported that among the children with blood diseases admitted to the Harbin Institute of Hematology and Oncology, 80% of them are leukemia patients. The main causes of the disease are the low immunity of children themselves and excessive inhalation of formaldehyde gas in indoor decoration materials.

2. Increase the incidence of asthma in infants and young children

Every year, 100,000 people die from asthma caused by indoor air poisoning, 35% of which are infants. In the United States, the number of children suffering from asthma accounts for 12.4% of the total population. In my country, the probability of children suffering from asthma is 2%-5%, and formaldehyde is the main culprit.

3. Indoor pollution causes lead poisoning in children

With the rapid economic development, people are moving into new houses or renovating old houses, and various decoration materials have entered people's lives. Lead from decoration materials has become a new hazard to the indoor environment and the root cause of lead poisoning in children. According to reports, in Beijing alone, 20% of children in my country have lead levels in their blood that are seriously above the standard.

3. How long does it take for a pregnant woman to move into a renovated house?

my country's "Civil Construction Engineering Indoor Environmental Pollution Control Standards" clearly stipulates that indoor air quality inspection should be carried out 7 days after the completion of indoor decoration projects. This means that it will take at least 7 days after the decoration is completed and the air quality inspection and acceptance are passed before occupancy.

For pregnant women, if the house is up to standard after decoration, they should try not to move in immediately; if it is not up to standard, they cannot move in even if the house has been decorated for more than half a year. It is necessary to wait until the indoor air quality test is qualified before deciding to move in.
