Classic Case

Case number one

The first case of indoor decoration formaldehyde pollution

After staying in the new house in 1998, Mr. Chen felt unwell and was found to have a "laryngeal papilloma" and had surgery in the hospital. The inspection department detected that it was caused by free formaldehyde volatilized from the decoration materials. The formaldehyde concentration exceeded the national health standard by 25 times on average! Mr. Chen sued the decoration company.

On December 30, 2001, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court made a final judgment and sentenced the defendant to a decoration company in Beijing to compensate the plaintiff for the removal of the loss, inspection fee, medical compensation and rent, totaling 89,000 yuan, and to remove the pollution within 10 days. Decorative material. This is the first case of decoration engineering quality caused by indoor air pollution in China, which has aroused strong repercussions in society.

Case 2

Furniture pollution indoor environment case

2 On September 3, 2001, Teacher Yang of a university in Beijing sued the wooden furniture pollution of the wood factory. In March of that year, he ordered a set of bedroom furniture in a furniture store in Beijing. After less than one month of use, the whole family felt unwell. Mr. Yang asked the China Indoor Decoration Association Indoor Environmental Monitoring Center to test the indoor air. After testing, it was found that the formaldehyde in the air of the room where the furniture was stored exceeded the national standard by more than 6 times. After many unsuccessful negotiations, Mr. Yang took the wood factory to court. After mediation by the court, the wood factory will return the goods and pay the goods in one lump sum and the associated losses totaling 7,000 yuan.

focus point

In addition to formaldehyde, other harmful substances can not be ignored

It is not difficult to see from the above cases that formaldehyde as a indoor pollutant has not only seriously affected the health of the occupants, but even seriously threatened life and safety. Once the pollutants are “hit”, the consequences are unimaginable. It is understood that in addition to indoor formaldehyde is the main pollutant, in fact, the source of indoor pollutants also include benzene, ammonia, toluene, xylene, TVOC and other harmful substances, these potential hazards are also the object that everyone should be "strictly guarded against."

According to Wang Zheng, deputy director of the Institute of Wood Industry of the Chinese Academy of Forestry, many companies and experts are currently conducting research on reducing formaldehyde. However, after the reduction of formaldehyde, does the physical and mechanical properties of the product meet the corresponding requirements? It will lead to an increase in other harmful substances, how long the effect of reducing aldehydes can be maintained, and so on. There is no shortage of more in-depth research. Since this is an emerging field, the corresponding standards have not kept up, and the supervision mechanism is not perfect. Therefore, consumers are advised to pay attention to the release of TVOC (total volatile organic compounds) while paying attention to the amount of formaldehyde released.

Consumers can detect indoor pollutants before check-in

Is it only after waiting for the problem to find out the presence of pollutants? Even if it is discovered, people are sick, and the things they buy are moved back home. What about the pain and economic loss? Why can’t you stay before you check in? For the test, in fact, an industry regulation in September this year has made clear provisions. The trade standard for the first domestic household industry, implemented in September 2013, is clearly defined in the “Regulations for the Management of Household Industries”. “When customers need it, the merchants should cooperate with customers to include formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, toluene, xylene, TVOC, etc. For indoor environmental testing services, the test results shall comply with the requirements of GB50325, and shall be supervised and signed by the customer during the acceptance.

Consumers must look for "marking" at the time of purchase

According to the relevant information, the current application for the 10-ring certification (China Environmental Labeling Product Certification) requires the detection of TVOC (Total Volatile Organic Compounds). Li Hongfan, Executive Director of the China Green Home Environmental Technology Working Committee, also recommends that consumers purchase decoration materials and furniture products. You can refer to the ten ring certification. In addition, the "Green Plate Purchasing Regulations" is the first wood-based panel standard in China that is in line with foreign advanced standards. It is also the first wood-based panel standard that lists benzene, toluene, xylene and TVOC as indicators. The Green House Committee will also comply with the standard. The company authorizes labeling, so consumers can refer to the purchase to prevent indoor pollution. Chengdu Business Daily reporter Su Mingyu
