But you know, small children were 30 times more sensitive to pollution substances hazardous materials in the house?
Oops! Certainly it is clear we do not want to the development of your children one day is not it? or Who does not want to live where we can support our health? or are still many questions that pushed our minds about the effect of material (material) building on our health.
Ok let us refer to the following bit of explanation,
Unconsciously, building materials, let alone a new one frequently contain hazardous substances that can cause disease, especially the building materials industry, such as wood, particle board, paint, plastic pipe, and so on. These building materials can cause various diseases such as cancer, respiratory disorders, skin diseases and so on. Surely the most aggrieved victims are residents of the house because every day should be in contact with these hazardous materials, especially young children.
Here are some materials / hazardous materials along with disease caused;
Material: Wood where the source of danger is the use of camphor, melamine (urea formal-dehyde)
Diseases caused: Allergy skin, eyes, mucous membrane disorder
Building materials: PVC Pipe, PVC glue, PVC paint, Floor Vilil, plastic carpet (made from PVC), contact glue.
Diseases caused: Cancer, burning evaporating hydrochloric acid (kill plants), liver disease, kidney
Building materials: synthetic paint (paint metal / wood), paint thinner, paint containing etylalkohol epoxy, epoxy machine.
Diseases caused: Diseases of nerve, blood, respiratory, eye blind, balance disturbances, mucous membranes, eczema on the skin.
Building materials: Asbestos (ceiling and roof)
Diseases caused: Asbestose (lung disease), cancer
Building materials: radon gas (the evaporation from the soil)
Diseases caused: mutagenic and carcinogenic (causing cancer)
Then the solution?
To minimize these dangers, at least we have some solutions include:
1. If the house freshly painted, new or existing furniture difinishing (painted / dipolitur), should not inhabited before the time being until the odor of formaldehyde does not smell anymore. Normally, this gas emissions remain high for 6-12 months. Better ventilation in the room and used a well thought out so the gas can be neutralized by fresh air.
2. At this time many developed materials are water-based finishes, which is more environmentally friendly because the content of organic chemicals that easily evaporate lower. Various materials of good homes available to use quite a lot actually. These materials are usually directly derived from nature and not through the industry that involved hazardous chemicals.
3. Select materials that are healthy (not mixed with hazardous chemicals) such as natural stone, clay, brick, wood, bamboo, thatch, fibers, reeds, metal, red brick, tile soil, glass, concrete, brick, conblok, paper.
