What are the hazards of indoor air to human body

In our daily life, we spend most of our time at home, not only during the day but also when we sleep at night. Therefore, indoor air is particularly important to our body. However, if we don’t pay attention in our daily life, the air will be polluted. The reasons for pollution are multifaceted, and the harm to our body is also very obvious. We must pay attention to it. What are the hazards of indoor air to the human body?

The harm that indoor air pollution brings to our human body includes:

Formaldehyde is a potential carcinogen recognized worldwide. It irritates the eyes and respiratory mucosa, eventually causing immune dysfunction, liver and lung damage, and central nervous system effects, and can also cause fetal malformations.

Benzene mainly comes from glue, paint, coatings and adhesives. It is a strong carcinogen. If people inhale high concentrations of benzene in a short period of time, they will experience symptoms of central nervous system anesthesia, such as dizziness, nausea, fatigue, confusion, and in severe cases, they will fall into a coma and even die of respiratory and circulatory failure.

Ammonia has an extremely high solubility and is adsorbed on the skin mucous membranes and conjunctiva, causing irritation and inflammation. Inhalation of large amounts of ammonia in a short period of time can cause tearing, sore throat, hoarseness, coughing, chest tightness, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and nausea. In severe cases, pulmonary edema and respiratory distress syndrome may occur, and respiratory irritation symptoms may also occur.

Radon cannot be seen or smelled, and people cannot feel it even in an environment with very high radon concentrations. However, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer.

The stench caused by biological pollution can affect the human respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, endocrine and nervous systems. High concentrations of stench can also cause pulmonary edema or even suffocation and death in those who come into contact with it.

The above is an introduction to the hazards of indoor air to the human body. In daily life, we can plant more plants at home to achieve the purpose of purifying the air. In addition, we must also pay attention to opening windows for ventilation every day to allow indoor air to circulate. This is also an effective way to improve indoor air. We must also have reasonable living habits in our lives.
