What are the effects of a new house on the fetus

Nowadays, interior decoration is also a cause of environmental pollution. This is mainly because after interior decoration, some gases containing toxic and harmful chemicals will be produced. These chemicals are often slowly released into the air, so when decorating, you must choose decoration materials of good quality. The chemical substances harmful to the human body caused by decoration are mainly formaldehyde, benzene, volatile organic compounds, etc. These substances are not only harmful to adults, but also to fetuses and pregnant women.

Formaldehyde is a colorless, highly irritating gas that has been identified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen and teratogen. Formaldehyde release pollution can cause tears in the eyes, congestion and inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva, skin allergies, nasopharyngeal discomfort, cough, acute and chronic bronchitis and other respiratory diseases, and can also cause nausea, vomiting, and gastrointestinal dysfunction! In severe cases, it can also cause persistent headaches, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, loss of appetite, and even death.

Long-term exposure to low doses of formaldehyde can cause chronic respiratory diseases, eye diseases, menstrual disorders in women, pregnancy syndrome, neonatal malformations, and depression. In addition, it can also cause a deterioration in the physical fitness of newborns and cause heart disease in children. According to a survey by the US medical department, formaldehyde release pollution is the main reason for the increase in asthma among children aged 3-5 years old.

Ammonia is a colorless gas with a strong pungent odor that is lighter than air (specific gravity is 0.5). Ammonia is an alkaline substance that is corrosive and irritating to any skin tissue it comes into contact with. It can absorb moisture from the skin tissue, denature tissue proteins, saponify tissue fat, and destroy cell membrane structure. When the concentration is too high, in addition to the corrosive effect, it can also cause cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest through the reverse effect of the trigeminal nerve endings.

In order to avoid harm to the body caused by decoration pollution, you must pay attention to indoor air circulation after the new house is decorated. This can greatly reduce the content of harmful gases in the air. Do not move into the house that has just been decorated immediately. All the doors and windows of the room should be opened, and you should wait about half a year before moving in. It should also be noted that it usually takes about three years for a substance like formaldehyde to completely evaporate and dissipate indoors.
