Many people are worried that paint will be harmful to the human body. Is this really the case? Let us learn about the harm of paint to the human body.

The harm of paint smell to human body The chemical substances in paint will have a certain degree of impact on various systems of the human body. Specific manifestations: 1. The harm of paint to human body mainly manifests in dizziness, headache, chest tightness, limb weakness and cough; 2. Long-term contact with highly hazardous paint may cause serious diseases such as aplastic anemia, leukemia, tuberculosis, pleurisy, and even cancer. 3. The particles in the paint can enter the lungs and cause asthma, and hinder the exchange of blood and oxygen; 4. The isocyanate component can make the throat dry and cause headaches; the solvent can damage the liver and nervous system. 5. Isocyanates and solvents can be absorbed not only by the respiratory organs, but also by the skin, eyes and hair, and then transferred to the blood. 6. The harm of paint, putty and other chemicals to the human body will gradually accumulate. Although some harms will not show symptoms in the short term, after a long period of accumulation, the symptoms will be very serious and generally cannot be cured.

The harm of paint to pregnant women Many people do not pay attention to the harm of paint, thinking that only industrial paint is harmful to the human body, but do not take the paint in the home environment seriously. Little do they know that the paint in the home environment has the greatest impact on us. Therefore, we must pay enough attention to the hazards of paint. Especially the harm to pregnant women: It should be pointed out that pregnant women must pay attention to the impact of paint hazards. If they are in an environment full of highly hazardous paints for a long time, it may cause skin allergies in pregnant women at the mildest, and even cause fetal malformations, such as cleft lip and palate.

Toxic ingredients in paint 1. Formaldehyde Formaldehyde is a colorless, soluble, irritating gas. Various artificial boards, adhesives, interior paints, wallpapers and carpets are the main sources of formaldehyde. The hazards of formaldehyde are long-term, latent and hidden, and its release period is often as long as 3 to 15 years. Formaldehyde can be absorbed through the respiratory tract. 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 smell. Its main sources are various paints, coatings and adhesives. After benzene and benzene derivatives are inhaled by the human body, they can cause central nervous system anesthesia; they can inhibit the body's hematopoietic function, causing a decrease in red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, and an increased incidence of aplastic anemia; they can also cause menstrual abnormalities in women and congenital defects in the fetus. 3. Ammonia Ammonia mainly comes from concrete antifreeze, high-alkali concrete expansion agent and early strength agent in concrete walls. Ammonia has a very high solubility and can irritate and corrode the upper respiratory tract, weakening the body's resistance to disease.
