With the continuous improvement of living standards, people are paying more and more attention to the environmental protection of home decoration. Many people think that if you want to decorate without pollution, you need to buy environmentally friendly building materials. This idea is correct, but if you buy environmentally friendly materials for decoration, can it really guarantee that the decoration will be pollution-free?
If you want to create a green decoration, you need to pay attention to many details, and you need to start from all aspects. Below, the editor will tell you some misunderstandings about home decoration pollution.
Myth 1: No taste = no pollution
The presence or absence of pollution cannot be determined solely based on the presence or absence of odor. Among the major harmful substances that cause indoor environmental pollution, some are odorous and some are odorless. It is very unscientific to judge whether there is pollution based on odor alone. Don’t be deceived by our noses. The best way is to use professional instruments to test and use the test results to determine whether there is pollution.
Myth 2: Environmentally friendly materials = no pollution
The so-called environmentally friendly building materials do not mean that there are no harmful substances, but that the content or release of these substances must be lower than national standards. If consumers use it normally or in a small area, environmentally friendly materials are indeed safer than ordinary materials. However, if consumers use it improperly or exceed the standard, environmentally friendly materials will also cause indoor air pollution to exceed the standard, thus affecting physical health.
Myth 3: Open windows for ventilation for a few months = safety
Most people know that after a new house is decorated, it must be ventilated for several months before moving in. This will help dissipate harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene and improve indoor pollution. But how many people know that the volatilization period of benzene is more than half a year, and the formaldehyde release cycle is as long as 3-15 years. Ventilation and ventilation cannot solve the problem of home decoration pollution in a few months. Its intensive emission period is within 1-3 years. Therefore, although opening windows for ventilation is a simple and effective way to reduce indoor air pollution, ventilation alone cannot fundamentally solve the problem of indoor air pollution.
Myth 4: Air fresheners or grapefruit peels, pineapples, tea leaves, etc. can purify indoor pollution
Many consumers believe that air fresheners can eliminate harmful gases such as formaldehyde. In fact, air fresheners can only use their fragrance to cover up harmful gases with odor. It cannot be adsorbed or decomposed. Grapefruit peels, pineapples, tea leaves, etc. have very limited effects on removing decoration pollution. Most of their functions are to absorb or use their own odor to cover up the smell of pollution, and their own adsorption capacity is limited, which can only be of little help in eliminating pollution.
Myth 5: Raising green plants can remove harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene
It is undeniable that placing some flowers and other green plants indoors can indeed absorb some harmful gases, such as ivy, iron trees and chrysanthemums can absorb benzene, spider plants, aloe vera, etc. Plants can absorb formaldehyde. However, the characteristics of plant action are slow speed, long time, and the amount of adsorption and decomposition is very limited, so its effect is almost negligible.
Misunderstanding 6: Pay attention to the pollution caused by decoration and ignore the pollution caused by furniture
Many consumers only pay attention to the pollution caused by various building materials and construction during the decoration process, but they do not know that furniture is also one of the sources of indoor pollution. The boards, paints and adhesives in furniture also release harmful gases such as formaldehyde. Therefore, we suggest that when purchasing furniture, it is best not to buy furniture with a strong pungent smell. Try to go to regular home furnishing stores to buy furniture of regular brands.
Specially negative ion tiles
Specially designed negative ion ceramic tiles can generate negative ions 24 hours a day to remove formaldehyde, eliminate odors, and purify the air once they are laid. They do not consume electricity and have no secondary pollution.
Okay, that’s all for today. When decorating, you must remember to decorate in a healthy way, not for anything else, but for the health of yourself and your family.
