New reaction: some furniture manufacturers are anxious to sell old goods at a discount
The new national standard for children's furniture has been implemented since August. Is the furniture market in Changsha ready? The reporter visited a number of shops selling children's furniture in the city yesterday. It is found that the standard of furniture stores is better, but some small furniture retail stores are in a worrying situation.
In a furniture supermarket in Hexi, the well-known brand children's furniture sold mostly considers the safety of children. Most of the bed cabinets are designed with rounded edges and corners. The bedside is mostly environmentally friendly and mostly uses wood color.
However, in the nearby small furniture retail market, children's furniture produced by unknown small manufacturers is worrying. In one of the furniture stores, the bed and desk for children are rough and the smell is pungent, and there is no proof of quality inspection. The furniture store owner admits that although the quality of these furniture is not comparable to the brand furniture, but because of the low price and good quality, there are many parents to buy.
Some small furniture retailers have said that the new national standard will not sell well when it is sold, and it can only be sold at a discounted price before August 1.
New reminder: not meeting the standard furniture or affecting the health of children
"The harmful substances produced by furniture are mainly free formaldehyde, benzene and urushiol. Formaldehyde is mainly derived from the adhesives of wood-based panels and toxic solvents such as paints." According to Deng Yanlian, deputy chief physician of the Fourth Hospital of the city, there have been studies abroad. Formaldehyde has a strong stimulating effect on the human eye and respiratory system and is a potential threat to cancer, fetal malformations and infertility in women.
The Changsha Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention also showed more than 200 indoor air quality test results in urban areas in 2010, because children's rooms often have combination wardrobes, bookcases, etc., and some children's rooms are also equipped with toy racks, plus the frequency of air conditioning for children's rooms. Higher, less window ventilation, children's rooms often become the worst room air quality in the family.
Jin Ruogang, the head of the Environmental Testing Department of the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention, reminded parents that when purchasing children's furniture, don't pick those products that are “invisibleâ€, and choose healthy furniture suitable for children according to the new national standard. It is better to have a vacant period for newly purchased furniture to allow the harmful gases to fully evaporate under ventilation. Ensure that the air quality of the children's room is qualified. The qualified citizens can ask the professional indoor environmental monitoring department to check the air quality of the living room before check-in.
