What are the hazards of paint
1, the toxicity of organic solvents
If people inhale the vapor of organic solvents for a long time, it will cause chronic poisoning, but short exposure to high concentration of organic solvent vapor will also have acute poisoning and fatal risk. In industrial hygiene, the harm of organic solvents to human body is closely related to the volatility of solvents. At room temperature, low volatile solvents are not easily dangerous in the air. Other hazards related to the human body are the fat solubility of the solvent, the reactivity, the impurity content, the way and way of absorption by the human body, the metabolic rate of the human body, the accumulation situation, the individual feeling and sensitivity, the length of exposure time, etc.

2. The harm of paint to pregnant women
(1) It may cause skin allergies in pregnant women, cause allergic reactions, and directly or indirectly affect the health and normal development of the fetus.
(2) The benzene it contains can cause hemolytic reactions in pregnant women or fetuses.
(3) The lead it contains can enter the body of pregnant women through the skin mucosa or respiratory tract, causing chronic poisoning and damaging the nervous system of the mother and child.
There are a lot of chemical elements in the paint, containing a lot of harmful substances, if pregnant women in the first three months of pregnancy during the embryonic development period of the most do not contact these harmful substances, harmful substances will make embryonic development deformity, the most common is cleft lip and palate, if the late pregnancy long-term living in these harmful substances will affect the development of the fetal brain.
There are more organic solvents such as formaldehyde and benzene in the paint. These are very adverse to the fetus, should lead to fetal deformity.
3. The biggest harm comes from formaldehyde
The main components of paint are oil, resin, pigment, thinner and auxiliary materials. The formaldehyde added to the paint is one of the biggest hazards. Although formaldehyde is not the main component of the paint, it acts as a part of the paint, protecting the quality of the paint and showing the brightness after painting. Formaldehyde has a strong stimulating effect on the skin and mucous membranes. It is a protoplasmic poison that binds with proteins and can generate formaldehyde in the body, which has strong damage to the retina.
