Can you believe in home improvement certification?

Renovating the house and buying furniture have to pay attention to environmental protection, which has become the consensus of many citizens when they are doing home decoration. However, the reporter recently visited a number of stores in Jinan that sell home improvement materials. It is found that the types of publicity and quality of home improvement products are varied. Ordinary consumers simply cannot distinguish between the true and the false, and rely on the various certifications promoted by the merchants to judge the pros and cons.

However, the reporter's investigation found that many "agent companies" claimed that many environmental certifications can be spent. Some insiders believe that some environmental certifications are difficult to distinguish between true and false, misleading many consumers.

[Dilemma]

If the decoration is not good, it will cause pollution. But who can not decorate? Who can check the materials again?

It is difficult to prove that the home improvement pollution lawsuit can not afford to fight

When it comes to home improvement pollution, Ms. Wang, who lives near Zhangzhuang Road in Huaiyin District, has not yet opened her tears. Last month, the seventh month of her pregnancy, the doctor told her that her baby had a congenital heart valve defect. After several tangled and painful ideological struggles, the whole family asked Ms. Wang to do an induction surgery and gave up this small life of adulthood.

Ms. Wang went to Qilu Hospital and Jinan Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Both hospital doctors said that the sick child is likely to be related to excessive inhalation of formaldehyde, benzene and other toxic substances in the early pregnancy.

"It must be the fault of interior decoration." Ms. Wang told reporters emotionally that she had been healthy during her pregnancy and had no family history. At the time when she was just pregnant, the family and the unit had done a big renovation, and the smell of the residual decoration in the office of the office had not completely dispersed.

Coincidentally, a friend of the reporter, Mr. Feng, also had painful memories. Just last May, his 1-year-old son suddenly found out of leukemia and died three months later. The grief-stricken Mr. Feng and his family frantically searched for reasons, and eventually they doubted the focus on the new home that had just been renovated a year ago. Will it be the pollution of the home decoration that causes the child to get sick? Mr. Feng found the inspection of the company and found that the quality of the indoor air has exceeded the standard by more than five times! This result is more convincing Mr. Feng doubts about the disease caused by the home decoration. He thought about playing a lawsuit, but the lawyer told him that he needed to find out which kind of decoration materials or furniture were in the living room, and sent it to the relevant department for inspection. "Is the inspection to be a destructive test. I can't take all the decorative materials in my house and examine it again." Mr. Feng decided not to pursue it any more. He said that every time he collects evidence, it will only make him feel more in his heart. Uncomfortable.

In the interview, the reporter found that many people can immediately list the cases around them when they mention the poisoning of home air pollution to their health. Because of the decoration caused by leukemia, fetal malformation, asthma and other sayings abound, but they are only the suspicion of the parties, very few people can come up with solid evidence that the disease is indeed a decoration accident, consumers have to think that they are unlucky.

Xing Chunyan, deputy director of the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Jinan Central Hospital, said that indoor environmental pollution is likely to cause respiratory diseases such as asthma and allergies. However, in order to make scientific judgments on the relationship between the two, it is necessary to use survey statistics to explain the problem. Liu Jinbo, a doctor with more than 20 years of experience in obstetrics and gynaecology, believes that although hospitals cannot make specific assessments, it is a fact that the toxic substances released from home decoration pollution can cause fetal malformations.

It is understood that the medical profession has not yet identified the identification criteria for family environmental pollution. Yao Bin, a lawyer from Shandong Chenjing Law Firm who has taken over many indoor decoration pollution disputes, believes that building materials are environmentally friendly and professional, consumers lack relevant knowledge, and the harm of home decoration pollution to the human body is slowly manifesting. The hard evidence is very difficult, which is why many home improvement pollution complaints are finally lost.

[Industry chaos]

When selling, it is said to be "green material". There is a "10-ring certification". A senior building materials owner said: "Which material is really environmentally friendly, I can't figure it out." "The floor of our home has various environmental certifications." The wooden door is zero formaldehyde and green material." "Our cabinets are absolutely environmentally friendly, and there is a national authority's '10-ring certification'. You can use it with confidence." Entering the building materials decoration market in Beiyuan Street, reporters are filled with these ears. Argument.

“Our floor environmental indicators are up to standard, you can look at these certificates.” At the Fuya Floor Mall at the intersection of Beiyuan Street and Shuiyu Road, the salesperson of a shop pointed to the enthusiasm of the certificate hanging on a wall. The place was introduced to the reporter. The reporter saw that this includes many of the top influence brands in China's flooring industry, a famous brand product in the province, the national high-tech wood flooring products, and the China Environmental Protection Product Certification, which are many formal and authoritative certifications.

Mr. Qin, the wooden door dealer on the first floor of the old white crane door art store in Beiyuan Street, told reporters that the general consumers come to buy building materials, and they believe that these products are of similar quality. The prices of certified and uncertified products vary greatly. "This kind of paint-free wooden door 800 yuan set is a bit expensive compared to other brands, but his brand is hard, you see it has more than 30 kinds of certification." Mr. Qin pointed to a set of wooden doors told reporters that other wooden doors also have it The workmanship and material selection are similar. Without those certifications, the price will drop and only sell for 400 yuan.

After visiting a number of floors, wooden doors and paint shops, the reporter found a common phenomenon: products with various environmental protection and quality certifications have higher prices than uncertified products; the more certification, the higher the product price compared with similar products. . "Oh, this is a product that meets the national standards. Of course, it is higher than those that do not meet the standard. A penny is worth the goods!" The salesperson always said that he was justified.

The overwhelming publicity of various home improvement products is dazzling. In the end, what kind of products are environmentally friendly products? In the end, these environmental certifications are true and false. The reporter consulted a number of insiders on this issue, but found that their identification of environmentally friendly materials and environmental certification is also confusing.

"Which material is really environmentally friendly? To be honest, I can't figure it out?" The boss who has been in the building materials industry for more than 20 years and has been operating a medium-sized decoration company for nearly 10 years has been so frank to reporters. He said that whether the decorative materials are environmentally friendly can not be distinguished by the naked eye or the sense of smell. Only destructive tests can really make it clear, but it is obviously not realistic. “When we decorate our customers, we should try our best to buy big brands when the funds permit. Then we can see if there is any relevant environmental certification, but sometimes we are not sure about the authenticity of some certifications. We are not better. Ways to detect which brand is more environmentally friendly."
