Harm of pollution in home decoration

Nowadays, many friends especially like to reverse the decoration at home. For example, some friends occasionally decorate their homes, and many friends just bought new houses and need to decorate them. But no matter what kind of friends you are, you should be careful when decorating. Especially in the choice of decoration materials and furniture and equipment used in decoration, we must pay attention to it. Because there will be a lot of pollution that is harmful to the health when decorating, everyone must test the decorated house. Next, Bian Xiao will tell you this knowledge.

Harm of pollution in home decoration

1, formaldehyde: formaldehyde includes adhesives, synthetic resins, surfactants, plastics, rubber, leather, paper, dyes, medicines, pesticides, photographic films, explosives, building materials, etc. , can emit formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is colorless and soluble in water, or the gas has a more pungent smell. Formaldehyde has emission behavior, which is an area where organic matter can spread.

The first is the irritant hazard: the main hazard of formaldehyde is the irritation to skin and mucous membrane. Formaldehyde is a prototoxic substance, which can combine with protein. When inhaled in high concentration, it will cause severe respiratory irritation and edema, eye irritation and headache.

The second is the harm of cancer: high concentration of formaldehyde is still a genotoxic substance. Experimental animals can cause nasopharyngeal tumors under the condition of high concentration inhalation in laboratory.

Third, the danger of sensitization: direct contact with formaldehyde can cause allergic dermatitis, pigmentation and necrosis, and inhalation of high concentration formaldehyde can induce bronchial asthma.

2. Benzene: Benzene mainly includes paints, additives for paints and coatings, various adhesives, water-releasing materials, counterfeit coatings, etc. Are all organic substances that can release benzene. The benzene in the office mainly comes from the coatings and additives of table paint, and the main reason is that the adhesive with high benzene content is used in the production process.

The harm of benzene mainly includes that inhaling a large amount of benzene in a short time will bring you poisoning. As mentioned above, benzene mainly comes from paints or additives, and its hazards mainly include subacute poisoning, headache, dizziness, fatigue and insomnia. After long-term inhalation of benzene, there will be a rapid decrease in platelets, and more serious leukemia or direct death will occur. Benzene is colorless, transparent and fragrant. It is a toxic liquid and can be easily emitted.

3. Ammonia: Ammonia, also known as ammonia gas, is generally used in the production of fertilizer crops. Ammonia is the most abundant component on the earth, including all plants, animal carcasses, feces and so on. Ammonia gas will be produced and converted into ammonia compounds in one step. Ammonia is the most widely used and is known as one of the largest natural organic substances in the world.

Ammonia is usually a compound gas. Interior decoration generally has additives and additives. Ammonia is extremely corrosive and can destroy all organs of your body. After inhaling a large amount of ammonia in a short time, there may be symptoms such as tears, sore throat, hoarseness, cough, bloodshot sputum, chest tightness, dyspnea, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting and fatigue. Severe inhalation of ammonia can lead to mutations in lung cancer and lung tumors.

4.TVOC: benzene, organic chloride, freon series, organic ketone, amine, alcohol, ether, ester, acid and petroleum. The main source of Tvoc is outdoor, mainly from natural combustion and transportation. It lies in that indoor smoke mainly comes from combustion products of coal and natural gas, smoking, heating and cooking, building and decoration materials.

Hazards of TVOC: TVOC can volatilize organic compounds and is a heterogeneous pollutant indoors. TVOC releases toxic gases and odors, which usually affect the function of the central nervous system. Its harm mainly includes: dizziness, headache, lethargy, fatigue, chest tightness and other symptoms. It can seriously damage liver and hematopoietic system, as well as liver cancer, and even lead to death.

The pollution of home decoration is very harmful, because the furniture will release some toxic and harmful substances after the house decoration, and some decorative materials will also emit harmful gases. If the selected decorative materials or furniture production indicators do not meet the national regulations, it is easy for formaldehyde content to exceed the standard. Formaldehyde is a very harmful chemical substance to human health. Therefore, Bian Xiao suggests that when you buy furniture or decorative materials, you must pay attention to their environmental protection and safety performance.
