For consumers, what should be done to minimize health hazards during decoration? Experts remind that there are several major taboos in decoration that need to be paid attention to. Mastering some common sense can make your home life more environmentally friendly.
Paint should not have “fragrance”
The danger of improper paint selection is that it contains volatile organic compounds such as benzene and heavy metals. There are some fake and inferior “purification” products on the market, which remove odors by adding a large amount of essence, but actually do not have the effect of eliminating harmful substances. If it smells stinky and has a strong pungent odor, stir it gently with a stick. After picking up the stick, the paint stays on the stick for a long time and the coverage is more uniform, which indicates that the quality is better.
Do not use a floor
The floor generally has many types such as wood-based panels, composite panels and floor tiles, and a single use may cause a certain harmful substance to exceed the standard. For example, although solid wood flooring is the most environmentally friendly, it may cause benzene pollution if it is painted; composite flooring contains formaldehyde, and it is easy to exceed the standard if only this kind of formaldehyde is used. It is recommended to lay ceramic tiles in the living room, and use solid wood floors in bedrooms and study rooms. It is most beneficial to health to use them together.
Do not use one color for wallpaper
Improper use of wallpaper colors can also cause health problems. Gold is easy to reflect light, which is harmful to the eyes; orange affects sleep quality, so it should not be used in the bedroom, but it has the effect of inducing appetite, so it can decorate the restaurant; yellow slows down thinking speed, so it should not be used in the study; blue can be used in the bathroom to add mystery Feeling and privacy; black is too heavy, and pink will make you feel irritable after a long time, so you should avoid using it in large areas. Various colors should match each other, it is best not to use only one color.
