       Smoking indoors is equivalent to "releasing" formaldehyde.

  Don't think that the formaldehyde treatment of the air after the new house is decorated will be a "peace of mind".

  The industry association of energy conservation, green and environmental protection yesterday analyzed and tested the formaldehyde content in cigarette smoke. The result was surprising: the indoor formaldehyde content would increase 10-20 times as much as a cigarette!

  Cigarettes unexpectedly contain a large amount of formaldehyde

  "Does smoking really absorb formaldehyde?"

  In order to prove whether there is high concentration of formaldehyde in cigarettes, the Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Association conducted on-site monitoring yesterday afternoon.

  Experts tested the formaldehyde content in cigarettes by selecting ordinary cigarettes, solid filter cigarettes and liquid filter cigarettes.

  First, the inspector observes these cigarettes to ensure that they are in good condition.

  Then, the inspector lights the cigarette, exhales the smoke through a collection pipe according to the habit of the smoker, and enters a sealed room.

  After a few minutes, the cigarette is completely burned, and the smoke collection value is collected.

  Then the expert collected the air in the test box with formaldehyde test solution, and collected 5 liters of air at a time.

  After 20 minutes, the reporter noticed that the white and transparent test solution became darker and darker.

  Common filter tip has little effect on formaldehyde filtration

  In addition to the obvious change of color, after being "read" by a professional air monitoring instrument, the formaldehyde produced by this cigarette in the process of inhalation is 0.53mg/m3!

  However, the formaldehyde content in the original test chamber is "0", which is far more than 0.10mg/m3 of indoor formaldehyde content in the "National Standard".

  Then, the experts also tested the smoke intensity with solid smoke filter and liquid smoke filter respectively.

  The results show that after the same test steps, the formaldehyde content in the flue gas generated by the solid filter tip is 0.52mg/m3.

  The formaldehyde content in the smoke generated by the other liquid smoke filter is 0.06mg/m3. meeting the national standard.

  This shows that many "so-called" harmful substances in cigarette filters have no effect on formaldehyde.

  Indoor smoking is equivalent to releasing formaldehyde

  In addition to "first-hand smoke" and "second-hand smoke", "third hand smoke" left on your clothes, walls, carpets, furniture, even hair and skin is also harmful.

  These tobacco residues can exist for days, weeks or even months, and they also contain formaldehyde. Children are more vulnerable to "third hand smoke".

  Because the immune system of infants and children is more vulnerable, they are more likely to be exposed to the harm of "second-hand smoke". When they crawl or crawl on the floor, floor and carpet, they are easy to contact these tobacco residues, and the most direct consequence is to cause respiratory problems of infants, such as acute bronchitis, asthma, etc.

  Therefore, formaldehyde "stays" in the environment for a long time, only isolating children from the smoke generated by smoking, can not really protect children.

  Even if smoking outdoors, the indoor formaldehyde content of the family where the smoker lives still exceeds the standard.

  Because smokers have "third hand smoke" on their clothes, skin and hair.

  It has no direct relationship with the brand and grade of cigarettes

  Why is there formaldehyde in cigarettes?

  The smoke produced by cigarette burning contains more than 3800 known chemical substances, most of which are harmful to human health. The reason why cigarettes contain a lot of formaldehyde is that, in addition to the fact that cigarette cut tobacco itself contains a small amount of formaldehyde, various complex components in cigarette cut tobacco, especially polymers, will produce a large amount of formaldehyde in the process of insufficient combustion.

  The formaldehyde content of a high-grade cigarette was tested, and it was found that the formaldehyde content reached 0.85 mg/m3.

  Therefore, the formaldehyde content of cigarettes has no direct relationship with the brand and grade of cigarettes. The higher the grade of cigarettes, the lower the formaldehyde content in smoke is not necessarily. Generally, 20% - 40% of formaldehyde can only be filtered out by filter tips.

  In addition, some people think that electronic cigarettes are healthy.

  The safety of electronic cigarettes has not been scientifically demonstrated at home and abroad, but in essence, electronic cigarettes are harmful to health.

  The sale of electronic cigarettes is prohibited, but they are sold online and are not regulated.

  Therefore, it is recommended to smoke less and not smoke.
