News: As a new type of wall material, with the elimination of formaldehyde, purifying air, sterilizing deodorization and other functions, diatom mud since 2003 into the Chinese market, it has become the "environmental protection guard" attitude of consumers. However, a recent civil lawsuit has left the industry's top five green forest diatom mud in a credibility crisis: it has been accused of problems with product quality and leukaemia. The incident cast a shadow over the environmental image of diatom mud: Is diatom mud really environmentally friendly? Is it environmentally friendly or not?
plaintiff in the lawsuit, Named Guo Fengfeng, a Shanxi Hozhou man who claims to have been trained as a construction workers for a Green Forest dealer in August 2013, was diagnosed with "chronic granulocytic leukemia" in November 2014. In February 2015, Guo Fengfeng sued five units and individuals, including Jilin Green Forest Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and its legal representative, Liu Hui, for more than 1.2 million yuan in compensation. The civil division of the Hozhou Municipal People's Court heard the case on July 15, 2015, and Guo Fengfeng submitted to the court a test report issued by Taiyuan City Standard Measurement and Quality Inspection Institute and Linyi City, Shanxi Province, respectively.

There is no scientific and medical basis for the claim that green forest causes leukemia in this case.
However, whether it is green forest diatom mud or industry associations, there is not enough evidence that diatom mud is not the cause of human leukemia, the annual output value of 1 billion yuan, only
