Is decoration pollution caused by panels or furniture?

As people's pursuit of a higher quality of life continues to rise in home renovations, environmentally friendly panels are the most popular and widely recognized choice when selecting home panels. Despite the considerable effort and careful selection of home panels, pollution from renovations is still a common problem. Consequently, there are many different interpretations and opinions on this issue, and there are still some discrepancies in people's understanding of the issue. The Panel Network, a provider of home panel services, believes that renovation pollution cannot be solely attributed to the panels and furniture, nor can it be effectively resolved or avoided by simply opening windows for ventilation. Below, the Panel Network will explain some common misconceptions about renovation pollution.

Myth 1: Harmful substances produced by interior decoration mainly come from boards and furniture, not adhesives.

Most natural wood and plants are actually non-toxic, but the production of boards and furniture must be made by gluing wood together, and the glue used contains a large amount of harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene. Therefore, the toxic object in home decoration is ultimately the glue, not the wood. Generally speaking, furniture boards are only part of home decoration and can also be considered as part of the toxic source of home decoration.

Myth 2: The main components of glue are formaldehyde and benzene. There is no board that does not contain formaldehyde and benzene.

With the continuous advancement of technology in the board manufacturing industry, healthy plant-based glues that are formaldehyde- and benzene-free have passed inspection and certification by the National Environmental Protection Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center and have entered mass production. They are poised to successfully replace chemical glues containing formaldehyde and benzene in the future. Therefore, the market for environmentally friendly board materials is extremely broad.

Myth 3: Covering the wall with dust will not cause pollution

The wall is the most important area in home decoration. It not only occupies a large area, but also spreads throughout every room. Double fly powder is originally non-toxic, but a large amount of chemical glue is used when preparing putty, which creates a source of poison. At the same time, people mistakenly believe that plastering is a trivial matter, which leads to the use of a large amount of inferior glue, thereby exacerbating the deterioration of air quality in the room.

Myth 4: After renovation is complete, opening windows for ventilation can release toxic substances

Because boards and furniture use chemical glue, they release toxic gases such as formaldehyde. The formaldehyde in the glue can be released for 5 to 15 years. If you simply rely on opening windows for ventilation, the formaldehyde cannot be discharged.
