Interior Air Pollution Has Become an Unbearable Burden on Human Health in Modern Society. Data released at a seminar on indoor air pollution organized by the Ministry of Health shows that each year, indoor air pollution in our country causes an additional 11.1** deaths. 68% of pregnant women suffer miscarriages and fetal malformations due to severe formaldehyde levels in living spaces; 90% of children with leukemia have had their homes remodeled within the past six months; approximately 68% of the diseases suffered by modern people are related to indoor air pollution, which can trigger over 30 diseases including leukemia, infertility, and fetal malformation; the World Health Organization's "World Health Report 2002" explicitly lists indoor air pollution alongside hypertension and hypercholesterolemia as one of the top 10 threats to human health. Construction and home furnishings often use large amounts of particleboard and engineered wood, with formaldehyde, a key component of adhesives, hidden within the layers of the boards. As the room temperature rises by one degree, the concentration of formaldehyde released into the air increases, and long-term exposure to such an environment can be fatal.

This year, the locally implemented "Code for Control of Indoor Environmental Pollution in Civil建筑工程" lists five main pollutants: formaldehyde, benzene, ammonia, volatile substances, and radioactive radon.

The release of indoor pollutants can last from 3 to 15 years, with their hazards including:

1) Causing abnormal human function, liver damage, and impact on the nervous system.

2) Causes harm to eyes, nose, throat, upper respiratory tract, and skin.

3) Causes chronic health damage, reducing life expectancy.

4) Severe cases can lead to carcinogenic effects, fetal deformities, female infertility, and more.

5) Greatly impacts the normal growth and development of children, potentially leading to leukemia, decreased memory, growth retardation, and more.

6) The harm to women's facial skin is a given. Formaldehyde has a strong irritant effect on the skin and mucous membranes, leading to symptoms such as wrinkled skin and reduced sweat secretion. Reduced sweat secretion can hinder the removal of impurities from the pores and disrupt the body's metabolism.
