According to the data released by the World Health Organization, people spend two-thirds of their lives at home. If the indoor environment is polluted, it will be very harmful.

Studies have shown that some indoor pollutants are even more polluted than outdoors, mainly because indoor air is not only affected by outdoor air, but also related to interior decoration and human activities.

Therefore, if you want to achieve a healthy home life, you must not only fully understand the household pollution caused by interior decoration and its impact on health, but also have good work and rest habits to eliminate and reduce the generation of pollutants.

The degree of luxury of decoration has an impact

Excessive decoration is one of the important reasons for indoor air pollution.

According to the degree of luxury of the decoration, the excess rate of various pollutants in the indoor air of the luxury class is the highest, followed by the mid-range, and finally the simple class. In short, the degree of pollution is positively correlated with the complexity of decoration.

Luxurious and complex decoration combines various decoration materials, and the indoor unit load rate is at a very high level, which inevitably leads to the release of a large amount of pollutants, eventually causing indoor pollutants to exceed the standard.

Artificial boards, floors, adhesives, paints, lacquers, synthetic leather, wallpapers, furniture and other decoration materials are important sources of harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, benzene, and TVOC. These volatile organic compounds have obvious carcinogenic effects and can cause lung cancer, Nasopharyngeal cancer, breast cancer, lymphatic system tumors, etc.

Decoration materials have an impact

A misunderstanding must be mentioned here: the use of "environmentally friendly materials" can avoid the generation of indoor pollutants.

In interior decoration, even if the pollutants released by the materials used are qualified, once the total amount of use reaches a certain amount, the total pollutants released is still very likely to exceed the standard!

In a certain unit space, the more materials used, the more harmful organic substances such as formaldehyde, benzene series, ammonia, TVOC, etc. that are generally contained in the imported building materials, which is called "superposition effect".

The so-called "green environmental protection products" on the market today actually refer to the release of chemicals released by the product itself < the maximum release amount of the product stipulated by the national standard, and it does not mean that it does not release at all. In the case of excessive use, that is, a high load rate, the total release of indoor pollutants will increase simultaneously, and the concentration of indoor harmful substances will exceed the standard for a period of time.

Therefore, the decoration design should be based on the pollutant release characteristics of decoration materials and indoor air quality standards, optimize the design scheme, control the amount of materials used, or choose completely green and non-toxic home building materials to prevent the release of harmful substances from the source .

Newly purchased furniture has an impact

When buying finished furniture, most people are more concerned about the price, workmanship, and style, and put the material and craftsmanship directly related to people's health and safety in a secondary position.

The pollution of various types of furniture mainly comes from the release of a large number of non-natural and artificial synthetic materials. The synthetic leather, cloth, and fillers used in furniture will also bring various pollutants. The combination of different materials requires the use of a large amount of glue. make the pollution more serious.

According to industry big data, more than 70% of newly renovated houses have indoor air quality that is not up to standard. Harmful substances brought by various new decoration materials such as paint, paint, plywood, carpets, curtains, furniture, etc. will have a superimposed effect indoors, causing pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene to exceed the standard. These pollutants will be more harmful to the human body, especially the elderly, children, and pregnant women. To this end, qualified consumers can be equipped with air purification equipment, such as air purifiers, fresh air fans, etc. during decoration.
