Pregnant woman lived in a formaldehyde room for 5 days

Inhaling too much indoor formaldehyde can cause various poisoning reactions, especially in pregnant women. Formaldehyde poisoning symptoms can cause pregnant women to have respiratory edema, skin necrosis, allergic dermatitis and other symptoms, and there is also the possibility of carcinogens. At the same time, indoor formaldehyde can seriously harm the fetus through the embryo, and even cause fetal malformations. Therefore, if a pregnant woman lives in a room with formaldehyde for 5 days, she must move out of the house in time and have a pregnancy check in time to ensure that there is no problem with the fetus. Specifically speaking, the harm of indoor formaldehyde to pregnant women is mainly reflected in the following aspects.

1. Indoor formaldehyde has long been identified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen and teratogen. It is a recognized allergen and one of the potential strong mutators. Pregnant women who are exposed to small doses of indoor formaldehyde for a long time can develop chronic respiratory diseases, nasopharyngeal cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors, menstrual disorders, and cytoplasmic genetic mutations.

2. When the formaldehyde content in indoor air quality is higher than 0.24 to 0.55 mg per cubic meter, indoor formaldehyde will continue to affect the respiratory system, immunity, reproduction and metabolism of pregnant women, and easily cause symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness, fatigue, irritability, irritability, insomnia, etc.

3. Staying in a room with formaldehyde for a long time can easily aggravate pregnancy syndrome, and symptoms such as nausea and retching will become more serious. In addition, it will continue to cause chromosomal abnormalities in newborns, and ultimately lead to fetal malformation, miscarriage, fetal head growth damage, congenital heart disease and other congenital defects.

4. The most important impact of indoor formaldehyde on pregnant women is that long-term inhalation of indoor formaldehyde by pregnant women can cause pregnancy poisoning, increased incidence of anemia and threatened abortion, and may also cause low birth weight, deformity or even death of the baby. Therefore, pregnant women should try to avoid contact with indoor formaldehyde, especially in the first three months of pregnancy.
