Environmentally friendly boards | Who is the biggest victim of formaldehyde in home furniture?

2025-10-11

It's well known that environmentally unsuitable wood panels are the primary source of formaldehyde in homes. Formaldehyde is not only highly reactive but also highly toxic, easily binding to human proteins and inducing various diseases, including illness and cancer. So who are the biggest victims of formaldehyde? Environmentally friendly wood panels point out that anyone can be harmed by formaldehyde, but the biggest victims are primarily the following three groups:

01. The impact of formaldehyde on children


Formaldehyde is a common irritant that can trigger respiratory diseases. Children have relatively narrow airways, delicate airway epithelium, and a submucosal layer rich in blood vessels and connective tissue. This leads to a weak immune barrier, making long-term exposure to formaldehyde-contaminated environments more susceptible to asthma. Formaldehyde levels reaching 0.6 mg/m³ can also cause pulmonary edema and sepsis in children.

02. The impact of formaldehyde on the elderly


The elderly's physical functions and resistance decline, allowing formaldehyde to "take advantage of the opportunity." Excessive formaldehyde can not only cause respiratory diseases such as tracheitis, pharyngitis, and pneumonia in the elderly, but can also induce hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, cerebral hemorrhage, and other diseases. In the frail, it can be life-threatening. Formaldehyde is the number one killer of the elderly.

03. The impact of formaldehyde on pregnant women


Formaldehyde is particularly harmful to pregnant women because they have weak constitutions, poor resistance, and the immune system of the fetus in their womb is not fully developed. If pregnant women inhale excessive formaldehyde for a long time, it will directly affect the development and health of the fetus through the placenta, and there will be risks such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, premature birth, fetal malformation, toxoplasmosis and anencephaly.

Compared to men with strong physiques and robust immune systems, children, the elderly, and pregnant women are the most vulnerable to formaldehyde exposure, which can even be fatal. How can we reduce the harm of formaldehyde to family members? Choosing environmentally friendly home furnishing materials is the key.

Environmentally friendly boards: buy with confidence and use with peace of mind

1. Direct sourcing from the base, ecological logs

We have established multiple brand log procurement bases at home and abroad, and carefully selected ecological large-diameter logs from natural aerobic forest areas to produce base materials that are more environmentally friendly, more uniform in material, tighter in structure, stronger in nail holding force, and more stable in moisture content. This lays a solid foundation for the production of artificial boards with lower formaldehyde content and higher environmental protection grades from the source of the base material.

2. Real soybean rubber, 100% formaldehyde-free

The expert team has successfully developed plant soybean glue, which is 100% formaldehyde-free, releases close to zero formaldehyde, and has a solid content of up to 38%-42%. Its environmental protection, bonding properties, fluidity, and water resistance all meet the quality standards of artificial board adhesives, allowing consumers to completely stay away from the hazards of harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene.

In artificial boards, in addition to formaldehyde in the glue, the wood itself also contains trace amounts of formaldehyde. In order to manufacture more environmentally friendly boards, environmentally friendly boards are based on ecological logs and use plant soybean glue as the core competitiveness. They constantly refresh new product environmental protection standards. The soybean glue boards produced are known for their high environmental protection and high quality, allowing consumers to buy and use them with peace of mind.
