The newly bought mosquito net has a pungent smell, so it contains formaldehyde. Generally speaking, many fabrics will add formaldehyde to maintain performance during production, but the amount of formaldehyde in regular mosquito nets is limited and will not cause harm to human body. For some mosquito nets without origin, most of the formaldehyde will exceed the standard. It is recommended to distinguish them carefully.
In summer, in order to prevent mosquito bites, we often buy mosquito nets. Sometimes we find that the newly bought mosquito nets have a pungent smell. At this time, we should pay attention to it. We must carefully distinguish whether the mosquito nets contain formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is still widely used in the textile industry. In order to achieve the purposes of wrinkle prevention and water locking, or to keep the printing complete and not easy to fade, some textile fabrics will add formaldehyde to the additives, so it is possible to have mosquito nets containing formaldehyde.
Most of the regular mosquito nets are made of pure cotton and have restrictions on the amount of formaldehyde. Therefore, when buying mosquito nets, it is recommended to buy them in large shopping malls or supermarkets and choose regular manufacturers. If they are ground stalls without origin, they are likely to use inferior materials, which contain a large amount of formaldehyde, which will give off a pungent smell, This has an impact on the body.
