中文简体1. The impact of VOC (volatile organic compounds) on health
VOC is one of the harmful substances that may exist in coated wall cloth. It usually comes from organic solvents and other chemical additives used in the coating, such as paint, glue, adhesives, etc. These substances evaporate into the air during the production process of coated wall cloth, forming harmful gases, which in turn affect the indoor air quality. Long-term exposure to high-concentration VOC environments will cause a variety of adverse effects on human health, especially potential harm to the respiratory system, nervous system and skin.
Health impact:
Respiratory system: Long-term exposure to VOC may cause respiratory diseases such as coughing, shortness of breath, and asthma, especially for sensitive people (such as children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with allergies), which may aggravate the symptoms of the disease.
Nervous system: High concentrations of VOCs are toxic to the brain, causing headaches, insomnia, memory loss, and inattention. Certain chemicals, such as benzene and formaldehyde, may also cause damage to the nervous system and affect the normal function of the brain.
Skin and eye irritation: Volatile organic compounds may cause irritation to the skin and eyes, manifesting as skin allergies, redness, itching, and eye stinging.
To reduce the impact of VOC on health, consumers should choose coated wall cloth products with low-VOC or no-VOC paint. Such products usually use water-based paint instead of oil-based paint, which can significantly reduce the concentration of harmful gases in indoor air.
2. The impact of anti-mold and anti-bacteria function on health
The anti-mold and anti-bacteria function of coated wall cloth is a highlight. Especially in humid or warm environments, mold and bacteria are easy to breed, which not only affects the appearance of the wall cloth, but also may endanger health. Coated wall cloth can effectively inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria through special anti-mold and anti-bacteria treatment, keeping the wall dry and hygienic.
Health impact:
Reduce allergic reactions: The presence of mold and bacteria may cause allergic reactions, manifested as nasal congestion, flu symptoms, rashes, itchy eyes, etc. Especially for people with allergies, the proliferation of mold and bacteria will aggravate allergic symptoms.
Reduce respiratory diseases: Mold spores and bacteria are spread through the air. When inhaled into the human respiratory tract, they may cause coughing, asthma, bronchitis and other diseases. Anti-mold coated wall cloth can effectively reduce the content of mold and bacteria in the air, thereby protecting respiratory health.
Improve indoor air quality: The anti-mold and anti-bacteria function of coated wall cloth helps to keep indoor air fresh, avoid the trouble of moldy and bacterial odors, and improve the health level of the living environment.
Studies have shown that mold not only causes health problems, but also causes long-term structural damage to buildings. Choosing anti-mold and anti-bacteria coated wall cloth is not only good for health, but also prolongs the service life of the wall.
3. Influence of allergens
The material selection and production process of coated wall cloth may contain allergens, especially certain synthetic fibers, chemical dyes and additives. These substances may become allergens, especially when in direct contact with the skin. For sensitive people, such as children, pregnant women or people with allergies, these substances may cause skin allergies, respiratory problems or even more serious health problems.
Health effects:
Skin allergies: Synthetic fibers and certain dyes (such as heavy metal dyes) may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, such as redness, itching, rash, etc.
Respiratory allergies: Certain allergens may cause respiratory problems, such as asthma, rhinitis, coughing, etc., especially when the coated wall cloth has just been installed, the volatile harmful substances may cause these symptoms to worsen.
Eye irritation: Long-term exposure to an environment containing allergens may cause discomfort such as dry eyes, redness, stinging, and in severe cases may also cause eye diseases.
It is very important to choose non-toxic and allergen-free coated wall cloth. Consumers can pay attention to whether the product has relevant environmental and health certifications, such as Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, to ensure that it does not contain harmful chemicals.
4. Risk of release of harmful substances
Poor-quality coated wall cloth may use low-quality raw materials, especially coatings containing formaldehyde, benzene, heavy metals and other toxic chemical components. These substances may be gradually released into the indoor air over time, causing indoor pollution.
Health effects:
Formaldehyde: Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen and long-term exposure to it may increase the risk of cancer. Formaldehyde is also associated with respiratory diseases, allergic reactions, and neurological diseases.
Benzene: Benzene and its derivatives may cause damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system, and may cause serious health problems such as leukemia.
Heavy metal pollution: Some low-quality paints may contain heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, which are not only toxic to health, but may also exist in the air for a long time, affecting the long-term health of residents.
