With the continuous development of modern society, more and more companies have begun to pay attention to the environmental protection issues of customized office furniture . What companies are most worried about is the problem of formaldehyde. During the installation process of the office, if a large amount of formaldehyde is left in the office, it will seriously pollute the air in the office space and cause some minor harm to the human body.

If you stay in an environment filled with formaldehyde for a long time, it will cause headaches, sensory disorders and fatigue. In severe cases, you may also experience drowsiness, memory loss and other symptoms. It can be seen that formaldehyde is very harmful to the human body.

So how do we determine whether office furniture contains formaldehyde and whether the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard? Here we take Shanghai office furniture as an example to illustrate.

First of all, when purchasing office furniture, you can get close to the drawers or cabinets of the office furniture and smell it to see if there is a strong irritating smell. If there is a strong irritating smell, and it irritates the eyes and makes them cry unconsciously, or even cough, then it can be proved that these office furniture still contain a lot of harmful substances such as formaldehyde. Such office furniture should definitely not be purchased.

Secondly, it is important to remember to ask the manufacturer for raw material inspection certificates when purchasing office furniture. This is crucial for thorough quality control. National standards currently require the use of E1-grade environmentally friendly materials. Another important consideration is the maturity of the furniture's craftsmanship to ensure it meets national standards.

Finally, when you have purchased the office furniture, try to place it in a ventilated location to allow the free formaldehyde in the office furniture to dissipate as soon as possible.
