Poisoning symptoms of newly decorated house?
Caution: house decoration beware of formaldehyde poisoning, formaldehyde is a transparent colorless, irritating gas, indoor paint, furniture, etc. after decoration contain formaldehyde. Formaldehyde can cause nausea, vomiting, cough, chest tightness, asthma and even emphysema; Long term exposure to low-dose formaldehyde can cause chronic respiratory diseases, menstrual disorders, pregnancy syndrome, neonatal physical decline, chromosomal abnormalities, and mental decline of children; It is recognized as a kind of carcinogen by the World Health Organization; Formaldehyde can cause nasopharyngeal carcinoma, nasal cavity cancer and sinus cancer; Damage to human hematopoietic function can lead to leukemia. After inhaling high concentration of formaldehyde, there will be severe respiratory tract irritation. Direct contact with formaldehyde can cause dermatitis. Inhalation of a small amount of formaldehyde can cause chronic poisoning. Information shows that more than half of children with leukemia have luxury decoration experience at home. After decoration, the main sources of formaldehyde are plywood, large core board, medium density board and other man-made boards, furniture, plastic paper, carpet, paint, paint, adhesive and other links that use adhesive in large quantities.
Caution: benzene poisoning should be avoided in house decoration. Benzene mainly exists in various paints, diluents and some waterproof materials. It is colorless and has a special aromatic smell. Mild poisoning can cause drowsiness, dizziness, etc. The more colorful the coating, the higher the content of benzene. Under the premise that the quality of many coatings is not very guaranteed, it is not advisable to design children's rooms in various colors. In addition, the area of children's rooms is generally small. If the ventilation is not good, it is easy to cause benzene poisoning. Benzene is a colorless liquid with special aromatic smell, which is volatile, flammable and explosive. Therefore, toluene and xylene are often used in interior decoration to replace pure benzene as solvent or diluent for various adhesive paints, coatings and waterproof materials. However, toluene and xylene are toxic substances. When people inhale high concentrations of toluene and xylene in a short period of time, it will lead to central nervous system anesthesia; In severe cases, the patient died of coma and respiratory and circulatory system failure; If long-term exposure to a certain concentration of toluene, xylene, it will cause chronic poisoning. Therefore, benzene compounds have been identified as a strong carcinogen by the World Health Organization. Benzene in indoor air mainly comes from chemical raw materials widely used in architectural decoration. In the case of high temperature, low air pressure and high humidity in summer, if we do not pay attention to indoor air circulation, the probability of benzene poisoning will be greatly increased.
The first is the mild symptoms such as itching nose, tears and skin allergy. As long as the patients get rid of the polluted environment and do a good job in ventilation, they will soon be able to heal themselves. The second is to live in a newly decorated room without symptoms for a certain period of time. This kind of situation is likely to be chronic poisoning. Once the attack occurs, it will be much more severe than the first one. Therefore, after half a year to a year, such people can go to the hospital for respiratory examination, chest X-ray examination, blood routine examination and precancerous examination. The third is high-risk poisoning. Children with low immunity are the high risk group of decoration poisoning, and they are easy to suffer from blood diseases. Data from children's hospitals show that many children with leukemia are related to exposure to the newly decorated environment. Adults should be wary of radon causing cancer. Such patients should be examined and treated as soon as possible according to their symptoms.
