Patient's question:
Please ask if a house that has just been renovated can be moved into by a pregnant woman if the formaldehyde level in the air does not exceed the standard. Are there any adverse effects? Please provide a clear answer from an expert.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is best to ventilate a newly renovated house with open windows for half a year before moving in. For pregnant women, it is advisable not to move in too early, as newly renovated houses may contain excessive formaldehyde. If pregnant women inhale it, it may affect fetal development. It is recommended that pregnant women choose a better environment for living and working during pregnancy, strengthen nutrition, get more rest, and undergo regular prenatal check-ups to monitor fetal development. You can have a 4D ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening between weeks 23 and 25.If the formaldehyde test does not exceed the standard, then the pregnant woman can move in, and it is safe.
