Benzene pollution is harmful.

Benzene is a colorless gas with a special aromatic smell. Glue, paint, coating and adhesive are the main sources of indoor benzene. Because of the volatility of benzene, especially in summer, it is easy to spread when exposed to the air. Long-term exposure to benzene will do great harm to blood. Benzene can damage bone marrow, reduce the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, and distort chromosomes, thus leading to leukemia and even aplastic anemia. Women who inhale too much benzene will lead to irregular menstruation and ovarian atrophy; Inhalation of benzene during pregnancy will lead to underweight larvae, delayed bone development and bone marrow damage.

Benzene pollution caused by improper home decoration

Household benzene mainly comes from a large number of chemical raw materials used in building decoration, such as coatings, fillers and various organic solvents. Choosing inferior decoration materials is the root cause of benzene pollution, especially the use of unqualified paints, adhesives and coatings. The benzene content of these inferior materials often exceeds the national standard by hundreds of times. Once these materials are used in interior decoration, they will cause benzene pollution to the house for a long time. In addition, improper construction technology is also an important cause of benzene pollution. Some decoration companies use paint instead of 107 glue to seal walls, which greatly increases the benzene content in indoor air. In addition, when painting waterproof, the construction technology is not standardized, which greatly increases the benzene content in indoor air and produces high concentration of benzene in a short time. This high concentration of benzene in the air is very dangerous, not only poisoning people, but also prone to explosion.

There are ways to prevent benzene pollution.

Benzene is very harmful to human health. How to reduce the hazards in decoration? Li Shifu, a decorator of a decoration company in this area, suggested that decoration materials that meet national standards and have little pollution should be used as far as possible, such as paints, adhesives and coatings produced by regular manufacturers, and water-based materials with no pollution or little pollution should be used as far as possible. After the interior decoration is completed, keep the house in a good ventilation environment. For example, you can choose an effective indoor air purifier and ventilation device, or open a window for ventilation when the outdoor air is good, which is conducive to the emission and discharge of indoor benzene, and then live after benzene is released for a period of time. If serious indoor air pollution is found, experts from the indoor environment testing center can also be invited to test the indoor air quality of the renovated house in order to take corresponding control measures.

In hot summer, the air temperature and humidity are relatively high, and some toxic and harmful substances in decoration materials, especially benzene, will be released in the air. Some environmental experts have proved that indoor benzene pollution will be more serious in summer than in other seasons.
