What is the harm to the paint?
In addition, because the paint as a chemical product, its composition is complex (the United States that there are more than 80 kinds of toxic and harmful ingredients), chemical reactions are more difficult to control the quality of a mixture. Therefore, in addition to the control of harmful substances, but also need other standards, such as health standards. There are some paint volatile harmful substances, ordinary people do not feel out, and the instrument may also be detected, but for children, the elderly, patients and other sensitive people have no small impact. Therefore, we need to reflect the safety of human care indicators. And all this is in the building and improvement.
At present, home improvement commonly used in the paint are solvent and water-based paint two categories, the market solvent-based paint is often cheaper than water-based paint half, therefore, many home improvement companies will choose the former. However, experts, solvent-based paint benzene content is much higher than the water-based paint, irritating odor, in the course of the great harm to the human body, into the atmosphere will pollute the environment, and even fire Danger. At this time the test results are also very alarming, exceeding the standard up to several hundred times. Until the paint is dry, the harm to the human body was reduced to the level of water-based paint. The water-based paint is environmentally friendly products, so experts recommend that consumers try to buy water-based paint, it is best not to use solvent-based paint. Moreover, the use of water-based paint is also a trend, the international community are trying to develop water-based paint, reducing the production of solvent-based paint.
In addition, the use of paint after 3-6 months is also the most vulnerable to human health period. According to experts, paint and putty contains harmful organic compounds are volatile organic compounds VOC, benzene, formaldehyde, heavy metals (lead, mercury, etc.) and so on. Among them, benzene and benzene is the main pollutant. It is understood that benzene has been identified as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization, can cause cancer, blood disease. Experts advise, in addition to the pollution in the construction can not be ignored, the danger after the stay can not be underestimated.
According to the China Indoor Environment Monitoring Center Guangzhou sub-center experts, paint and putty is a major source of indoor pollution, especially in the use of paint in the process of the greatest harm, and paint workers are often the biggest victims.
