I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of formaldehyde, but you should not know what other toxic gases are other than formaldehyde. Today we will point out 5 chemical pollutants lurking around our lives, and they are derived from our An invisible virus released from the living environment.
5 invisible chemical pollutants
1. Formaldehyde: There are five main sources, the first is from some decorative panel materials indoors; the second is water-based adhesives with formaldehyde as the main component; the third is waterproofing agents and flame retardants used in building materials , preservatives, insect repellants and other water-based treatment agents; the fourth is derived from various decorative materials, such as wallpapers, carpets, foam plastics and paints; the fifth is derived from the necessities used in daily life at home , such as cosmetics, detergents, insecticides, etc. Formaldehyde appears quietly in our daily life. According to scientific research, the release period of formaldehyde is as long as 3 to 15 years. For the formaldehyde in newly renovated units, it cannot be completely eliminated in one or two years. evaporate.
2. Nitrogen oxides: Nitrogen oxides are easily produced from human daily life. For example, gas stoves used for cooking usually produce nitrogen oxides from combustion. In addition, if the resident has the habit of smoking, nitrogen oxides will also be produced during the smoking process. If you inhale too much, symptoms such as throat discomfort will appear, not only that, but it can even pose a threat to the central nervous system and cardiovascular system of the human body.
3. Ammonia: Additives and brighteners are used in many home finishes, and ammonia is added to these chemicals. When these products are used on the wall, as the temperature or environmental factors change, they will be converted into ammonia gas and released from the wall. Ammonia gas is also an irritating and harmful gas, which is irritating to the mucous membranes such as the eyes, nose, and throat of the human body, and this irritating gas will lead to a decrease in the body’s resistance to other diseases.
4. Carbon monoxide: Carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides are the same type of poisonous gas. Its source is also the same as nitrogen oxides, both from daily gas use. Combustion of gas or oil produces large amounts of carbon monoxide. When the human body inhales a light amount of carbon monoxide, symptoms such as dizziness and weakness of limbs may occur. Inhalation of large amounts of carbon monoxide can directly lead to a severe coma state.
5. Radon: Radon mainly comes from carcinogenic and toxic gases released from flooring, tiles and other ground materials. According to scientific research, the radiation damage of radon to the human body accounts for more than 55% of all radiation damage received by the human body in a lifetime. It is a “latent killer” of lung cancer and the second most carcinogenic substance besides smoking. The gas radon is also colorless and odorless. Even if the concentration of radon in the environment is high, people cannot find it. The damage caused by radon to the human body is permanent, so choose carefully when choosing home decoration.
