It is small in size but spreads widely and quickly, which can easily cause allergic reactions such as sneezing, eye discomfort, coughing, and asthma.

• Bacteria, Viruses: large in number and spread rapidly and widely, causing many diseases

• Fungal spores: It is easy to spread and multiply in the air in humid and warm areas, and long-term exposure can easily cause allergies and asthma

• Dust, dust mites: Dust is uncomfortable to breathe and is a breeding ground for dust mites and fungi. Dust mites are small insects that often grow on mattresses, sheets and cloth furniture or are suspended in the air, increasing the chance of asthma

• Pollen: Outdoors and even flowers in vases produce pollen, which can cause obvious discomfort to the respiratory tract, eyes and skin if people with allergies inhale it.

• Pet and human hair and dander: very small, easily entering the human respiratory system, and providing favorable conditions for the reproduction of dust mites and fungi

chemical pollutants

From cigarettes, renovation projects, cleaning supplies and furniture, prolonged contact can irritate the skin, nerves and respiratory tract, and bring health risks.

• Secondhand smoke: It has been identified as a human class A carcinogen by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the International Agency for Research on Cancer. It contains hundreds of toxic substances and carcinogens such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde. It is especially harmful to children whose lungs are still developing.

• Formaldehyde: Plywood, pressed boards, urea-formaldehyde resin products and floors from everyday furniture are classified as harmful carcinogens. High concentrations of formaldehyde can irritate the eyes, nose and respiratory system, and even cause asthma in severe cases.

• Benzene series: including benzene, toluene, dimethyl, etc., some of which are identified as carcinogens by the World Health Organization. Mainly from various building materials organic solvents, such as paint, coating additives and wallpaper, carpets, synthetic fibers and so on. Long-term exposure can cause chronic poisoning, neurasthenia and hematologic symptoms. In severe cases, aplastic anemia, even leukemia, and death may occur.

• Radon gas: from soil, rock, and granite. Radon gas is colorless, odorless, and difficult to detect. The decay products of radon gas will accumulate in the lungs. It is the second source of lung cancer, ranking second only to smoking.

How to distinguish different indoor pollutants?

It was found that many owners would come to consult about smell after indoor decoration. Some have been newly renovated for several months, and some have even been renovated for several years. They can smell "decoration" in the closed room. What is the taste of decoration? How to distinguish different indoor pollutants? 1. Formaldehyde is a colorless, tasteless and irritating gas Formaldehyde is colorless and tasteless in a strict sense, but when the concentration exceeds 3 or 4 times, it will stimulate and damage human mucosal tissues, such as sore throat and inability to open eyes. But this is not the main danger. The main hazard is that formaldehyde rapidly enters the blood through the alveoli through the respiratory tract, causing incalculable harm to the human body.   Formaldehyde mainly comes from artificial wood used as decorative materials, such as adhesives in plywood, core board, medium density fiberboard and creative board (particleboard). So usually, the simple smell we smell is not caused by formaldehyde, even if formaldehyde exceeds the standard by 1-3 times. 2. Benzene is an aromatic gas The smell of benzene is fragrant, and some people feel like the taste of bitter almond. Therefore, many experts call it "fragrance killer", as long as the source of benzene is paint, especially oily paint. Benzene also has other uses, that is, artificial fragrances and essence may contain benzene.   3. TVOC is the general name of organic compounds in the air Usually, the smell you smell when you decorate is TVOC, because it contains eight kinds of organic compounds. However, there are also cases where VOC seriously exceeds the standard, but there is no task odor indoors. The main sources of volatile organic compounds are paints, adhesives, fabrics, textiles, etc., and some of them come from the incomplete combustion of coal or tobacco.   Ammonia is a kind of malodorous gas In our daily life, the smell of ammonia is the smell of fertilizer. Colorless, but highly irritating and smelly. If you live in a city and don't know the smell of fertilizer, you should be exposed to the unpleasant smell of public toilets in summer. Ammonia is mainly used as an antifreeze in cement, usually appearing in the north, but rarely exceeding the standard in the south.   Radon is a colorless and tasteless inert gas Radon gas is formed by radium radiation decay from marble and granite. It is colorless and tasteless. Because it is an inert gas, it will not react with any organic matter. Their presence cannot be distinguished by sight and smell, and they can usually be detected by special institutions.
