What symptoms will the body show when formaldehyde exceeds the standard

Physical symptoms of excessive formaldehyde include eye irritation and skin allergies, and may also cause dizziness, headaches and poisoning reactions.

Formaldehyde exists in various chemical raw materials. In a newly renovated house, formaldehyde may exceed the standard. If you stay in an environment with excessive formaldehyde for a long time, it may affect your health. You will smell an irritating odor and feel uncomfortable. The odor will irritate your eyes, causing tears, and will be accompanied by throat discomfort and irritating coughing. Some people will also experience symptoms of poisoning, usually manifested as palpitations, difficulty breathing, chest tightness and shortness of breath. Severe cases may also cause low immunity and resistance, and even affect the human hematopoietic system. Mild symptoms can cause anemia, and severe cases can cause sepsis and leukemia.

After the above clinical symptoms appear, you need to go to the hospital for examination in time to find out whether the hematopoietic system is affected. At the same time, you also need to stay away from environments where formaldehyde exceeds the standard. When moving into a new environment or just completing interior decoration, try to open the windows for ventilation and do not move in for a short period of time, otherwise the chance of illness will be higher. Children and teenagers in particular are more likely to get sick in a newly renovated house than normal people, which will have a greater impact on their health.
