Modern people pay extra attention to their own health, so recently there are often homeowners inquiring, what are the hazards of paint? How to prevent the hazards of paint? Here we will make a corresponding answer to this question, let’s take a look at it.
What are the hazards of paint]
1, what are the hazards of paint by the skin caused by the hazards of paint in the organic solvent vapor will stimulate the mucous membrane of the eyes and make people weep. If the organic solvent in the paint and skin contact will dissolve the skin oil and penetrate into the tissue, interfering with physiological functions, dehydration, resulting in dry skin and infected with dirt and bacteria. If organic solvents come into contact with skin epidermis, it will lead to epidermal keratinization caused by the dissolution of skin keratin, which will stimulate the epidermis and cause redness and bubbles. If the paint solvent penetrates into the body, it will destroy the blood cells and bone marrow, etc.
2、What are the hazards of paint by the respiratory system of paint hazards of organic solvent vapor through the respiratory * inhalation of the human body, people tend to produce anesthetic effect. Most of the vapors are inhaled through the lungs, and then transmitted to other * by blood or lymphatic fluid, resulting in different degrees of poisoning. Often the respiratory tract, the nervous system, lungs, kidneys, blood and hematopoietic system to produce significant poisoning.
3、What are the hazards of paint caused by the digestive system when people eat, smoke, etc. in places contaminated by paint solvent vapor, the first victim of the mouth, into the esophagus and gastrointestinal, causing nausea, vomiting phenomenon, and then in the digestive system, the danger to other *.
4、What are the hazards of paint and the environmental hazards of paint
According to the latest research data, the toluene and xylene in paint will produce a certain photochemical reaction after entering the atmosphere, which has a certain destructive effect on the ozone layer.
What are the harmful substances in paints]
1、Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a colorless and easily soluble irritant gas. A variety of man-made panels, and adhesives, indoor paints and coatings, wallpaper and carpets are the main sources of formaldehyde channels, the harm of formaldehyde has a long-term, latent, hidden characteristics, and its release period is often up to 3 ~ 15 years. Formaldehyde can be absorbed through the respiratory tract, and long-term inhalation of formaldehyde can cause serious diseases such as nasopharyngeal cancer and laryngeal cancer.
2、Benzene
Benzene is a colorless gas with a special aromatic odor. Its main source is a variety of paints and adhesives, benzene and benzene inhalation by the human body, the central nervous system anesthesia; can inhibit the human hematopoietic function, so that the red blood cells, white blood cells, platelet reduction, aplastic anemia rate increased; can also lead to abnormal menstruation of women, fetal congenital defects.
3、Ammonia
Ammonia is mainly derived from concrete antifreeze, high alkali concrete expansion agent and early strength agent in concrete walls. Ammonia is extremely soluble and has an irritating and corrosive effect on the human upper respiratory tract, which can weaken the body’s resistance to disease. Long-term exposure to ammonia may appear skin pigmentation or finger ulcers and other symptoms; short-term inhalation of a large amount of ammonia can appear after tears, sore throat, hoarseness, cough, sputum with blood, chest tightness, breathing difficulties, may be accompanied by dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, weakness and other symptoms, severe cases can occur pulmonary edema, adult respiratory distress syndrome.
4、TVOC Total volatile organic compounds
VOC is the abbreviation of Votatile Organic Compound, the concentration of each component of VOC is low, but there are many types, while the mixture of a variety of VOC and its interaction, so that the intensity of harm increases. The main components of TVOCs include benzene, toluene, butyl acetate, ethylbenzene, styrene, undecane, etc. Indoor construction and decoration materials are the main source of TVOC in the air. TVOC can cause dysregulation of the body’s immune level, affect the function of the central nervous system, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, weakness, chest tightness and other symptoms, may also affect the digestive system, loss of appetite, nausea, etc. In serious cases, it can damage the liver and hematopoietic system, and even cause death.
How to prevent the hazards of paint]
Since we know the hazards of paint, it is necessary to prevent the hazards of paint. In fact, there is very little formaldehyde in paint, and the most harmful to humans in paint is benzene and benzene and polyester paint in the toluene dihydrogenate. Reduce the hazards of paint methods are as follows:
1, enough ventilation after renovation two months before moving in
After the house is renovated, do not rush to move in, inside the paint, harmful gases are still in the room not exhausted, to reduce the harm caused by paint, then early in the premise of ensuring sufficient ventilation after renovation, more than two months before moving in. If you are in a hurry to move in, you need to use professional testing and treatment. Determine the standard before moving in.
2, indoor placement of green plants to purify the air
In the indoor can be placed some green plants, plants under photosynthesis, will absorb the air gas, the emission of gas suitable for human breathing. But this method is relatively slow. Can be placed plants are ivy, hanging orchids, cactus, aloe vera, etc..
