Consultation on health hazards caused by household goods

Last Updated November 9, 2018

1 Hazardous Substances contained in household goods

A lot of household goods are used in our lives. However, there are many cases where health hazards are caused by chemicals contained in household goods. It's…

  • I got wet throughout my body when I wore new pajamas and underwear.
  • My wrist was red with a new leather watch band.
  • The new closet smells irritating and the eyes flickering and headaches.

Have you ever experienced it?

Some clothing uses chemical substances to process clothing to prevent wrinkles and shrinkage. Formalin (formaldehyde) may be detected in certain types of processing agents commonly used for these.

(1) Formalin is easy to soluble in water, so wash your baby's clothing before using.

(2) Formalin has the property of being easily absorbed by clothing. Be careful when storing your clothing, as it is contained in plywood adhesives such as furniture and cigarette smoke. Pay attention to the ventilation of the room.

3 Make up clothes as well

Even now, there is a word that "the clothes will also make up." We use a wide variety of chemical substances for processing. Recently, formalin regulations have reduced dermatitis due to formalin allergies, but allergies due to certain types of anti-caving agents and dyes have been found. If you feel any abnormality, consult a specialist or Environmental Sanitation Section as soon as possible.
