After a house is renovated, it usually takes 3 months before you can move in, because the house that has just been renovated will contain pollutant gases. So when houses are renovated, where does the pollution come from? Is it decoration material or generated during construction? For families with pregnant women, the elderly, and children, pollution removal methods are even more important. Let’s learn about the hazards of pollution caused by new house decoration and how to remove it?
Hazards of pollution in new house decoration and how to remove it
Formaldehyde
The main hazard of formaldehyde is irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Formaldehyde is a toxic substance that can bind to proteins. When inhaled at high concentrations, it can cause severe irritation to the respiratory tract and lead to edema, eye irritation, and headaches.
How to remove formaldehyde?
1. Activated carbon adsorption method: Place three to five packs of sufficient activated carbon in every corner of the house.
2. Ventilation removal method: Open doors and windows to allow natural air circulation.
3. Plant method: It is more appropriate to place 2-3 pots of 1.5-meter-high plants in the room.
4. Professional team management: The professional team uses various professional instruments and methods to remove residual formaldehyde from the home.
Benzene
Benzene mainly comes from interior decoration coatings, wood paints, adhesives and various organic solvents. Benzene can cause leukemia and regenerationObstacle anemia. Inhaling excessive amounts of benzene can cause dizziness, nausea, chest tightness and fatigue, and severe cases can lead to coma or even death due to respiratory and circulatory failure.
How to remove benzene?
1. Choose effective indoor air purifiers and air ventilation devices.
2. Open the windows for ventilation when the outdoor air is good, which is conducive to the dispersion and discharge of indoor benzene. Wait for the benzene to be released for a period of time before living in it.
3. If indoor air pollution is found to be serious, you can also ask indoor environment testing experts to conduct indoor air quality testing on the renovated house so that corresponding control measures can be taken.
TVOC
TVOC is the most serious of the three types of pollution that affects indoor air quality. Its toxicity, irritation, carcinogenicity and special odor will affect the skin and mucous membranes and cause acute damage to the human body.
How to remove TVOC?
1. Newly renovated houses should be ventilated frequently, or even heated and baked, to accelerate the release of TVOC.
2. Install an air purifier with activated carbon.
3. After the decoration, it was tested and confirmed that the TVOC did not exceed the standard, and the room was ventilated for one month before moving in. Place more flowers and plants that can absorb harmful substances.
Where does decoration pollution come from?
1. Artificial panels
On the market, various boards use formaldehyde as the main component as a binder, and all contain formaldehyde to a greater or lesser extent. Some boards are soaked in formaldehyde due to insufficient hardness. Good boards have no peculiar smell, but poor quality boards will emit a smell when brought into the house.
2. Wall glue
Before painting, scrape a layer of putty. Putty is made by mixing talcum powder and glue, and glue is the main source of formaldehyde. Walls covered with wallpaper will release formaldehyde. For convenience, workers will first paint the walls with a layer of paint, which is also one of the sources of formaldehyde. Because wallpaper is not breathable, it is difficult to evaporate and become another source of pollution.
3. Furniture< /span>
Generally, decoration pollution is easier to control than furniture pollution. During the construction process, the whole process is supervised, and the decoration quality is guaranteed. There are certain differences in furniture materials. From processing to transportation, the door-to-door delivery cycle is short, and furniture becomes indoor pollution. The culprit.
On the market, solid wood panels are environmentally friendly, so furniture acceptance is very important. Tips for acceptance: Open the wrapping paper and smell it. If the smell is choking, the formaldehyde may exceed the standard.
4. Textiles< /span>
Textiles include: bedding, carpets, curtains and furniture, etc. In order to increase the waterproof and fireproof properties of textiles, formaldehyde additives are often added. Especially jeans or cotton non-iron shirts contain formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is irritating to the skin and can cause eczema and systemic allergies.
