Patient's question:
Lived in a new house throughout the pregnancy, and continued to live in the new house after the baby was born. Now the baby is almost three years old, and all health check-ups are normal, including blood tests. I read online that many people worry about living in a new house during pregnancy and whether the baby might develop leukemia after a few years.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this issue for you. The key concern when moving into a new home is the harm caused by formaldehyde and benzene. It's not true that everyone who comes into contact with formaldehyde and benzene will develop blood diseases. Some online promotions are exaggerated, so don't worry. Painters and carpenters are exposed to these substances daily, yet it's not said that they all develop leukemia. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
