How is the poor quality of furniture harm health?
When buying a new product, each person noted a characteristic smell. It holds 1-2 weeks and reminds the inhabitants of the apartment about a pleasant purchase. No one thinks about the dangers that causes the body with this smell, and how it affects the health of all family members.
"Evaporation", which allocates new furniture can be compared with car exhaust. A person can not be in such a room for a long time, since the following diseases may arise:

The furniture market offers a huge selection of material from which sofas, cabinets, tables and chairs are manufactured. The most common of them:
1.DSP (wood chipboard). It includes carbormaldehyde resin, which constantly allocates toxic compounds. Resin is necessary to ensure the strength and density of the product, the content of formaldehyde in it will be high. Make high-quality material and comply with the E1 class is difficult. If the resin in the composition is not enough, the material will be flashed. Due to outdated equipment and production methods, the formaldehyde content in the domestic chipboard is always on a high border.
2. MDF (Middle Density Warfather). In its production, the carbormaldehyde resin is used. A dry method of manufacture is used, which provides for the impregnation of the fiber of wood resin. After drying the fiber goes to the press in the form of carpet. Phenol and formaldehyde remain in the MDF even after processing. Plus such a material in accordance with the E1 class.
