Generally, they contain some harmful substances.

This kind of pollution comes from the decoration itself.

It is called home decoration pollution.

If the level of pollutants in your home is too high,

And it remains unresolved for a long time.

It will cause physical discomfort and affect health.

So, how to get rid of pollution in home decoration?

Let’s take a look!

Formaldehyde, a common pollution in home decoration

With the development of economy and the improvement of people's living standards, building and decoration materials made of various raw materials have entered the homes. Among them, the chemical formaldehyde is recognized as a representative cause of indoor air pollution.

Introduction to formaldehyde

▼The main hazard of formaldehyde is its irritation to the skin and mucous membranes. Formaldehyde is a protoplasmic toxic substance that can combine with proteins. When inhaled in high concentrations, it can cause severe respiratory irritation and edema, eye irritation, and headaches.

Home decoration should prioritize practicality and simplicity. Excessive renovation can easily lead to a cumulative pollution effect. Excessive renovation is unnecessary. If the underlying blockboard has quality issues, toxic and harmful gases like formaldehyde can diffuse and release through the upper solid wood flooring. The maximum allowable concentration of free formaldehyde in indoor spaces is 0.12 mg/m2 in public places and 0.08 mg/m2 in homes.

Choose the right building materials to get rid of formaldehyde pollution

▼Some insulation materials, foam insulation materials, wood plywood, fiberboard, floor glue, carpet, wallpaper, paint, plastic skirting, floral decorations, flooring and their laying and connecting adhesives contain formaldehyde and should be selected with caution.

How to remove formaldehyde when moving into a new home

▼1. Activated carbon adsorption method: Place three to five plates of activated carbon of sufficient size in every corner of the house.

2. Ventilation removal method: open doors and windows to allow air to circulate naturally.

3. Plant method: It is appropriate to place 2-3 pots of plants that are 1.5 meters high in the room.

4. Professional team management: The professional team uses various professional instruments and methods to remove residual formaldehyde in the home.

Diphenylmethane, a common pollutant in home decoration

Besides formaldehyde, benzene is the second biggest killer of household pollution. Inhaling high concentrations of toluene or xylene in a short period of time can cause central nervous system anesthesia, and in severe cases, respiratory failure and death.

Introduction to Benzene

Benzene primarily comes from interior paints, wood lacquers, adhesives, and various organic solvents. Benzene can cause leukemia and aplastic anemia. Excessive benzene inhalation can cause mild symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, chest tightness, and fatigue, while severe symptoms include coma and even death from respiratory and circulatory failure. Chronic benzene poisoning can irritate the skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract.

Indicators of household benzene pollution

Benzene in homes and offices primarily comes from the large amounts of chemical raw materials used in building decoration, such as paints, fillers, and various solvents. These contain large amounts of organic compounds, which are released into the interior during renovation. Some of these raw materials can cause indoor air benzene levels to exceed 14.7 times the national maximum permitted concentration. Indoor air benzene levels should not exceed 0.09 g/m2.

Choose the right building materials to get rid of benzene pollution

Choosing water-based wood paint is a fundamental way to prevent and reduce benzene pollution in home interior decoration. Be careful not to use paint to seal the base of walls, as this process seriously pollutes the indoor environment and can cause long-term benzene pollution problems. Avoid using furniture made of low-quality core board or density board, as they can release large amounts of formaldehyde or benzene over time.

How to remove benzene when moving into a new home

After completing renovations, maintain good ventilation. For example, use an effective indoor air purifier and air exchange device, or open windows when the outdoor air is good. This will help disperse and expel benzene from the room. Wait for a while before moving in. If you find severe indoor air pollution, consult an indoor environmental testing center for an air quality test so you can take appropriate measures.

Tips for preventing home decoration pollution

With the strengthening of health awareness, many consumers are paying more and more attention to the issue of pollution caused by renovations. Some consumers believe that if they use environmentally friendly building materials and furniture, they don't have to worry about indoor pollution. However, the fact is that even if environmental standards are met, some harmful substances may still be present. This is because a newly renovated house collects gases emitted by various building materials, coatings, and furniture, and harmful gases may still exceed the standard.

Select green building materials

Green building materials, also known as ecological building materials, are designed to harmonize with the ecological environment. As a subcategory of ecological materials, green building materials must meet basic requirements in terms of material processing and technical performance, environmental performance, and human health.

Reasonable use of building materials

▼To reduce pollution in home decoration, the pollution sources cannot be completely eliminated. Since the pollution caused by materials cannot be eliminated, we can only try to reduce the use of materials. In today's society, even home decoration materials known as green building materials have pollution sources. Therefore, to reduce pollution, we can only use building materials reasonably and not over-decorate.
