　　Summarized as follows:???Currently, the World Health Organization（WHO）, formaldehyde has been identified as carcinogenic and teratogenic substances, also a potential mutagen forced one of its excessive release would seriously endanger human health. Research shows that decoration and furniture containing formaldehyde, the release period of up to three to 15 years.???Reporters learned from the Zhejiang Provincial Environmental Protection Office, the Communist Youth League, recently being free testing for the public activities of indoor air quality in a public renovation nine years later; still detect the furniture up to twice as much formaldehyde. AQSIQ on the national 85 wood furniture manufacturing enterprise testing found that every business there are at least 15 kinds of chemical poisons, up to 31 kinds, exceeding in serious condition. Among them, benzene exceeded 89% of the companies, the highest exceeded up to 121.5 times; formaldehyde enterprises accounted for 76.9%, the highest exceeded up to 116 times.   Shanghai Furniture Industry Association, Xu Guanrong told reporters: "excessive levels of formaldehyde furniture, mainly due to the process, once the plates, glue, paint, formaldehyde content can not guarantee that the furniture will not self feel formaldehyde content exceeded. Another is to reduce costs, companies buy the inferior plate. The low formaldehyde content of environmentally friendly materials but the cost is relatively high and low-grade sheet comparing the difference of each block of 60 to 100 per month. “According to the reporter, sheet metal furniture of the most important raw material of sheet metal, particleboard, MDF and other varieties, are generally formed by gluing together, itself contains a certain amount of formaldehyde. The international standard plates have E0, E1, E2 three, including E0 is the most environmentally friendly, but also the lowest formaldehyde content; of course, the cost is also the highest.???Currently, according to state regulations, furniture formaldehyde content should be less than 0.15mg/M3. Xuguan Rong said: "Sometimes the factory is more environmentally friendly procurement E0, E1 sheet, but in the process, as glue, paint, and other factors can also cause excessive formaldehyde to happen." Shanghai Committee Secretary-General should be raw Yang told reporters: "Even the use of green building materials, can not be completely guaranteed to eliminate high levels of formaldehyde, though, companies have material certification standards, but in the production process if the guard is not strict, but also can not guarantee that it is environmentally friendly. "???In this regard, should be out again that the government and business should work together with the management of formaldehyde from the source of the problem. Meanwhile, Xu Guanrong appeal: production enterprises should enhance their sense of responsibility and environmental awareness. At the institutional level, Lu Weiguang is hoping to unify formaldehyde testing equipment and methods, so that businesses and the city, the city and the city's testing equipment and methods consistent with reduced levels of formaldehyde caused by man, the real consumer confidence.[Comment]:???Currently, many countries around the world have different formaldehyde detection, while the current domestic and formaldehyde relevant existing standards, respectively: GB-national standard, LY-forestry standard, SN-exit inspection and quarantine standards, and there are a variety of testing methods. Therefore, manufacturers often occur on the test results and test units produce different situations. Re-sampling is concerned, are the overall test if, instead of a single material for testing, I believe that it enables the consumer confidence.
