The man's left kidney was born with congenital atrophy and he had only one kidney since childhood.After blood tests, his liver and kidney function was a bit poor.When the doctor examined, he discovered an irregular tumor, size 2-3 cm on the left neck.After biopsy, the man was diagnosed with stage II throat cancer, the disease was relieved after radiation therapy.
Why is a man with a throat cancer at such a young age without smoking or drinking alcohol?Dr. Hong Yongxiang said he was suspicious of this person with cancer due to formaldehyde poisoning because of the decorations in the new house.Regarding the reason why he has symptoms of colds and runny nose, it is thought that the reason is that the formaldehyde concentration is too high.Formaldehyde is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to the list of type 1 carcinogens and is one of the most common indoor air pollutants.
He added, the fact that the male patient's wife has a miscarriage is also related to inhaling formaldehyde.However, his wife's symptoms are relatively light.The reason is that his wife likes to drink water and eat vegetables.Water helps the body eliminate toxins.He said that some dark green vegetables rich in vitamin C and fiber can help the body eliminate toxins when defecating, so in daily activities should drink plenty of water and eat vegetables.
Zhao Jinwei's air quality engineer (Taiwan, China) said that the amount of formaldehyde was too much mainly from new furniture and painted new home.Formaldehyde is added in the production and shipping process to prevent insect penetration.Therefore, the formaldehyde content will be higher when decorating a house, it will often exceed the standard from 2 to 3 times, and in serious cases, it can reach 3 to 4 ppm, ie foldingAbout 50 times compared to the standard.
Zhao Jinwei suggests that when you order furniture, you can choose decorative materials with low formaldehyde or even zero content, such as E0/E1 eco -game, to reduce the risk of discharging formaldehyde.He also pointed out that after moving to a new home, you should open more windows to maintain air circulation, which may allow the outside air to dilute the formaldehyde concentration in the house.
