Causes of decoration pollution
The decoration design is unreasonable
Indoor decoration often uses a large amount of the same material. For example, laying a large area of composite floor will use a large amount of formaldehyde, which will cause the formaldehyde to exceed the standard.
Poor decoration
Adhesives containing a large amount of free formaldehyde are used in the construction, or excessive application of building adhesives is applied and then covered with materials. Harmful gases are difficult to volatilize, which will cause the construction adhesive to continuously pollute the air for a long time.
The quality of decoration materials is not up to standard
Many decoration materials, especially man-made boards, contain more harmful substances such as industrial naphthalene, phenol, and formaldehyde. In addition, other auxiliary materials for decoration, such as additives, adhesives and putty powder, are also the main sources of indoor air pollution.
The harm of decoration pollution
The main hazard of formaldehyde is the irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Formaldehyde is a pure toxic substance that can bind to protein. When inhaled in high concentrations, it will cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract and cause edema, eye irritation, and headache.
Benzene mainly comes from paints, wood lacquers, adhesives and various organic solvents used in interior decoration. Inhalation of excessive benzene can cause dizziness, nausea, chest tightness and fatigue, and severe coma and even death due to respiratory and circulatory failure.
TVOC is the more serious one of the three types of pollution affecting indoor air quality. Its toxicity, irritation, carcinogenicity and special smell will affect the skin and mucous membranes and cause acute damage to the human body.
What are the environmental protection decoration materials
Floor material selection Pure solid wood flooring and bamboo flooring, compared to laminate flooring, have fewer processing procedures and relatively lower formaldehyde emissions; the darker and whiter the ceramic tiles, the greater the radioactivity; the pure handmade carpets have no chemical substances.
When selecting materials for wall tops, it is necessary to understand that environmentally friendly paint is less irritating than latex paint; ecological board is more environmentally friendly than ordinary fiberboard; pure paper wallpaper generally uses natural wood fiber or wood pulp material to be more environmentally friendly and close to nature.
Furniture material selection Eco-aluminum wooden doors have a longer service life than ordinary wooden doors, and are more soundproof and moisture-proof; solid wood furniture is more environmentally friendly and simpler in technology; energy-saving lamps consume less power than incandescent lamps, have a longer life, and are non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
Decoration pollution prevention
Benzene Choose paints that meet the standards, choose water-based wood paint, do not use paint to seal the bottom of the wall, and do not move in immediately after decoration.
Formaldehyde Ventilate, control temperature and humidity, place ivy, evergreen, spider plant, aloe and agave to absorb formaldehyde.
Radon Pay attention to fill up and seal the cracks on the floor and walls, do a good job of ventilation, and place an air purifier with a high-efficiency filter device.
Ammonia can place a certain amount of activated carbon, use chemical products, use flowers and plants to adsorb, and air catalyst.
Light pollution Use beige, light yellow, etc. instead of dazzling white paint, use secondary lighting, and do not continue to use Yuba.
Electromagnetic radiation Do not place household appliances for consumption, avoid long-term operation, and do not put unused appliances in standby mode.
Noise pollution Strictly control the volume of sound-producing appliances, install double-glazed windows in street-facing office buildings and homes, and install steel doors for sound insulation to avoid unconventional noise.
