What harm does paint smell do to people

Some people often smell paint because there are factories or renovations happening near their homes. Some people also buy a new house and move in immediately before the paint smell has dissipated. However, this is actually very harmful to the human body (especially children). The chemicals in the paint will have a certain degree of impact on all systems of the human body, causing irreparable damage. But what are the adverse effects of frequently smelling paint on the human body?

Hazards of paint:

1. Teratogenicity A large amount of research data confirms that toxic substances left over from house decoration can cause birth defects.

2. Benzene series (benzene, toluene, xylene) used in large quantities in septic paint and decorative glue can damage hematopoietic function, cause blood diseases, and can also cause cancer; induce leukemia.

3. Allergy: TDI, an important component in ordinary polyester paint, is listed as a highly hazardous substance in the national standard GB5044-85. It can induce allergic reactions such as rash, dizziness, decreased immunity, respiratory damage, and asthma.

4. Brain poisoning manifests as damage to the nervous system. Solvents (commonly known as thinners) in paint accumulate in the central nervous system for a long time, causing damage to brain cells, triggering chronic solvent poisoning syndrome, neurological mental disorders, etc., which reduces children's intelligence.

How to remove paint smell:

1. Fill a container with cold water, then add an appropriate amount of vinegar and place it in a ventilated room and open the furniture door. This can not only evaporate the water in an appropriate amount to protect the wall and ceiling paint surface, but also absorb and eliminate residual odor;

2. Buy some pineapples and put a few in each room. Put more in larger rooms. Because pineapple is a crude fiber fruit, it can absorb the paint smell and emit the fresh fragrance of pineapple, speeding up the removal of odor, achieving the best of both worlds.

3. To quickly remove the residual paint smell, you can soak cotton balls with citric acid and hang them indoors and inside wooden furniture;

4. Newly renovated houses often have pungent smells of chemical raw materials such as Tianna water. Put a jackfruit (a tropical fruit that looks like durian, but it is definitely not durian! Putting durian in the house is bad!) because the jackfruit is large (usually as big as a watermelon) and has a strong fragrance, which can absorb the odor in a few days;

5. You can go to the market to pick out some high-tech odor-removing cleaners, which can remove harmful gases emitted by newly renovated houses, new furniture, etc. According to relevant sources, these odor-removing cleaners are generally imported products, which use ammonia compounds to react chemically with harmful substances, thereby achieving the effect of removing odors and cleaning. In a newly renovated room, you can pour this deodorizing cleaner into a plate, place the plate in each room, and then combine it with the scrubbing deodorizing method. After a few days, you can effectively remove the unpleasant odor;

6. Placing orange peels, lemon peels and other items in the room is also a very effective way to remove odors, but their effects will not be very fast;

7. You can put two basins of salt water in the room and the paint smell will be eliminated quickly. If the paint smell comes from wooden furniture, you can wipe it with tea water several times, and the paint smell will be eliminated faster;

8. The most economical and beautifying way to your home is of course to place suitable flowers and plants at home. Plants that can absorb formaldehyde include cacti, spider plants, gerberas (also known as African daisy), reeds, ivy, iron trees, chrysanthemums, etc.

9. Formaldehyde capture agent: Formaldehyde in a new home can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat. Formaldehyde (HCHO) has been confirmed by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen and teratogen. It is a recognized source of allergies that can cause respiratory diseases, menstrual disorders in women, neonatal malformations, acute mental depression, and in severe cases, respiratory, skin, and digestive tract cancers. The formaldehyde scavengers currently available on the market can penetrate deep into artificial boards to actively adsorb, capture and react to free formaldehyde molecules. Once the reaction generates non-toxic high-molecular compounds, they will never decompose, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly and effectively eliminating formaldehyde. Special reminder: This product is easy to operate and can be sprayed on the surface of various artificial boards and the inner walls and backs of furniture.

10. Nanomaterial environmentally friendly craft painting: Nano-composite materials are added during the production process. Its degradation mechanism is to convert these harmful substances into carbon dioxide, water and organic acids that are harmless to the human body under light conditions. Hanging your favorite paintings in the room is both elegant and unique, and can purify the living environment. It is a best of both worlds. Generally, one painting is enough for a bedroom or living room. If you want to move into a newly renovated house right away or if there are serious pollution sources (many people often smoke), and you want more negative ions in the air, you can also hang several paintings at the same time.

11. Household sterilization and disinfection lamp: can solve the sterilization and disinfection problems in home life. It is particularly suitable for disinfecting the air and articles in baby rooms, elderly rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms. Because it has the function of timed power on and off or remote control power on and off, people can be protected from the harm of ultraviolet rays during disinfection. Due to the strong bactericidal power of ultraviolet rays, it is particularly suitable for air-conditioned rooms or rooms with closed windows.
