Kitchen pollution hazards mainly come from three aspects:

1. Material pollution: The volume of the cabinet is at least 1/3 of the kitchen. If the main raw material is not up to standard, the open flame during cooking will accelerate the volatilization of harmful substances such as formaldehyde;

2. Countertop pollution: In addition to the excessive radioactive materials in some granite countertops, some materials called “artificial stone” are often synthesized with some resins mixed with cheap limestone and quartz powder, and contain a large amount of benzene volatile substances;

3. Excipient pollution: Generally, the whole cabinets are installed on site. If the operation is not standardized, such as the abuse of adhesive bonding materials, the edge of the artificial board or the sealing is not strict, the harmful substances will be released continuously, causing runny nose and tears or even skin. rash.
