● mini - killer I: plastic

Plastics often appear in furniture in the form of drawers, handles, hinges, etc. If properly handled, it has little pollution to the indoor environment, but the pollution to the environment can not be ignored. In general, some additives in plastics, such as stabilizers, softeners, pigments, fire retardants and the like, have some harmful substances. These harmful substances can be dissolved in fat, carried into the food chain, and stored in adipose tissue, causing pollution to the atmospheric environment. Therefore, additives based on heavy metals such as lead and mercury or their compounds are prohibited, and consumers should see the product ingredients at the time of purchase.

● mini - killers ii: metals

Furniture components such as hinges, slides, etc. are usually made of metals such as steel and aluminum, the surfaces of which are treated by plating or painting. Most products use solvent-free process and water-based paint finished by metal because of its less harm to environment. The compounds produced by electroplating are likely to be harmful to the environment in the form of discharged water. It is reported that some standards on metal processing and surface treatment indicate that metals should not be electroplated with cadmium, chromium, nickel and their compounds except for small parts such as screws, hinges and ornaments; Metallic coatings shall not contain pigments and additives based on lead, mercury and their compounds; The amount of organic solvent in the coating shall not exceed 5 %. These concepts may be obscure, but at least can give us a wake - up, the original metal in the furniture also exist pollution hidden danger, also can't treat sth lightly when buying.

Consumers in the purchase, might as well ask more see, avoid wrong buy furniture with lead glass.
