Dizziness, vomiting, dry eyes, excessive formaldehyde injury in the office can not afford

Feifei (pseudonym), who works at Guangzhou Dayang Education Technology Co., Ltd., is bothered by the smell of decoration in his new office, Yangcheng Evening News reported on July 17.

On July 9, white-collar Feifei moved into the company's new office located on the 6th floor of Building 23, Tian 'an Energy-saving Science and Technology Park, Panyu District. The office of 400 square meters can accommodate more than 90 people.

"The renovation of the new office only started at the end of April. Originally, the company promised to move the whole office in mid-July after the renovation was completed. However, before the new office was renovated in early July, all employees were required to move to the new office to work." Feifei said that on the first day of moving into the new office, workers could be seen painting and installing anti-theft doors.

Office a door is a pungent smell, In the new office after the first day of work, Feifei personally saw a female colleague ran to the bathroom vomiting, Feifei himself also have dry eyes pain, Dizziness and other phenomena,"Once into the office, Feel dizzy, Throat pain, Can't concentrate on work."

In response, many employees can only wear masks to work.

Feifei's colleague Zhiqiang (pseudonym) was also greatly troubled by this and even considered leaving his post.

Zhiqiang said most people felt headaches as soon as they moved into the office on Monday. Zhiqiang felt headache, sore throat, dry eyes and even a little chest tightness. The next day because of the addition of air purifiers, so a little better, but the third day felt a little weak.

They also reflected to the leaders, but the leaders put more purifiers and tea leaves, just to let everyone "get used to it." Zhiqiang said he would consider leaving if things kept getting so bad, but hoped the company would compensate him.

Why is the effect not obvious after placing tea leaves and air purifiers in offices with excessive formaldehyde?

The reason is that tea and air purifiers simply do not remove formaldehyde. Placing tea leaves is equivalent to "covering one's ears and stealing bells", just masking the pungent smell of formaldehyde with the taste of tea. The main function of the air purifier is to reduce particulate matter in the air, and the effectiveness of removing formaldehyde can be ignored.

A casual search on Weibo will show all kinds of worries, complaints and helplessness from netizens about excessive formaldehyde in the office.

The harm of formaldehyde is well known, in the face of office "poison gas", how can we solve the problem of excessive formaldehyde in the office?

Know the correct way to remove aldehydes

In the news, we can see that employers have placed tea leaves and purifiers for formaldehyde pollution, but unfortunately they have gone into the wrong area of aldehyde removal. In fact, in addition to formaldehyde, the most effective way is to ventilate and ask professional formaldehyde treatment companies to carry out governance. At present, professional aldehyde purification companies on the market, including Quanfen, have very mature experience in office formaldehyde pollution.
