On May 14, more than 60 children in a kindergarten in Huzhou, Zhejiang, suspected that the formaldehyde concentration in the newly decorated space of the school exceeded the standard, resulting in a group nosebleed, which made people worried.
It is reported that after the 60 children suffered from nosebleed, their parents paid attention to them and took them to the hospital for treatment, Finally, thyroid cysts, thyroid nodules, rhinitis and other diseases were diagnosed.
In the face of such a severe situation, the response of the school authorities was surprising.
It seems that they did not put children's health first, but just lightly announced that they would suspend classes for four days, as if all this was just an episode, and children could return to school four days later as if nothing had happened.
The park seems to be trying to muddle through in this way.
From the video circulated on the network, we can clearly see that the parents gathered in the kindergarten with indignation and urged the kindergarten to give a clear explanation.
In the face of parents' doubts and concerns, the kindergarten staff responded that they had conducted physical examinations for all children in the small class and invited professional companies to conduct air quality tests.
Although the formaldehyde test report has not yet been released, the relevant departments have attached great importance to it and are involved in the investigation.
In the subsequent negotiation and communication, the attitude of the school has always been disappointing. They have been avoiding the problem, neither denying nor admitting the children's formaldehyde poisoning, and put forward an attitude waiting for the test report results.
Such a response makes people wonder whether the park is laying the groundwork for shirking responsibility and trying to shift responsibility to decoration material suppliers.
According to insiders, the kindergarten in question had just completed its decoration project at the end of August last year. However, only a few days later, that is, September 1, the kindergarten rushed to let the children in.
As we all know, after the new house is decorated, it must be ventilated and empty for a period of time to let harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene volatilize naturally and ensure the safety of indoor air before entering.
However, the kindergarten allowed children with weak resistance to enter the kindergarten after a few days of decoration, and the school authorities even concealed the new decoration of the classroom from their parents.
This is a group of children aged 4-6! How can their resistance compare with that of adults?
Don't the school know how harmful formaldehyde is?
According to the information published on the Internet, formaldehyde has a strong irritating effect on the eyes and respiratory mucosa. Long term exposure will also affect the immune system, damage the liver, affect the skin, nervous and endocrine systems, and even lead to mutation and cancer.
Excessive formaldehyde inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation, headache, edema and other symptoms, or cancer, leukemia and other serious diseases.
After the event was exposed, countless netizens gathered to watch and discuss it.
"When choosing kindergartens, you must choose those kindergartens that are old and have a good reputation. People today, for money, simply do everything they can!"
"Think about those poor children. What should they do if they really suffer from leukemia or cancer as a result of this event? It's too scary."
"For the decoration that was completed at the end of August, the children were admitted on September 1. How did the relevant departments accept it? How did the school qualification and relevant documents pass the examination?"
"Is it inferior decoration materials or school management? In any case, children should not be the victims of this farce!"
These questions are like sharp arrows, pointing to the core of the event.
In recent years, food safety in schools and personal safety of students have repeatedly become the focus of society. We can't help asking, what's the matter?
We expect relevant departments to quickly find out the truth and give parents and children a fair and clear account.
At the same time, I hope that all schools and educational institutions can really pay attention to the health and safety of children and do not let similar tragedies happen again.
