Chinese Baby Gets Leukemia After 15 Days in New Home; New Chinese House More Dangerous Than Chernobyl

According to this article, a child came down with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) after living in a newly renovated home for 15 days. Chinese often do not move into a new home for at least a year due to fear of indoor pollution and doctors believe the child's leukemia may be the result of living in a newly renovated home. The articles says a study found that the rate of ALL illness is almost 5 times higher among children if they move into a home within 6 months of renovation.

My initial reaction is to disbelieve this story, since 15 days seems incredibly fast. I would expect this from a nuclear disaster and this study, Patterns of acute leukaemia occurrence among children in the Chernobyl region, found the rate of ALL incidence was 3 times higher among children in the regions exposed to radiation. Indoor air pollution is more dangerous due to sustained exposure though, so it seems plausible. In any event, Chinese are deeply concerned about pollution and this story rising to the top of the housing section of iFeng reflects that.

Many domestic and international survey data confirmed: indoor air pollution caused by large amounts of toxic gases, than outdoor overcast sky to be much more frightening. Leukemia, lung cancer, birth defects ...... these shocking words and more and more " decoration pollution "together. Recently, this reporter went to Nanjing Children's Hospital Department of Hematology, saw the child extends the age of two months short of his relatives because newly renovated house lived 15 days, resulting in acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

When the reporter saw in the hospital hematology ward lovely Susu, he was happily playing with toys, if not living room, reporters do not see that he is a sick baby.

Susu's mother told reporters that the first half of this year, a relative extends the marriage, they took extends the last play.

I did not expect Susu stayed five days later, sudden fever. Extends the family immediately took to the hospital, and found no abnormal blood.

After treatment, extends the high fever, so we will not care.

Later, extends parents because to go out, then newly married to the Susu relatives to take care of, so Susu and relatives who lives in the 10 days.

Multiple bruising was diagnosed with leukemia

This time, when he extends the parents will pick back from relatives and found Susu body bruising, initially considered to be too naughty children often fall cause, can not even subsided bruising part of a trend, so they came to Nanjing City Children's Hospital found that blood abnormalities, further careful examination, I did not expect is acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Susu's parents immediately plunged into misery, the child is so small, how will suffer from such a serious disease? Doctors said the disease may lead to a new house is the child stay.

4.76-fold increased risk of illness stay in a renovated six months

Nanjing Children's Hospital, director of Hematology Fang Yongjun said, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) accounts for 80% of children with acute leukemia, the incidence peaks between 3 to 7 years old. If the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment, 80% -85% of patients as healthy people can survive long-term.

During 2007 to 2012, 方拥军 and his team have been investigation, the reasons for the prevalence of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. After investigation of 570 cases of the disease in children, but also look for the 1000 cases of normal children as a comparison, the results of the study showed that within six months the newly renovated room occupancy of 4.76 times increased risk of illness.
