Chemical poisons refer to any chemical substance that, when affecting life processes, can cause death, temporary or permanent disability in humans or animals. They include all chemical substances regardless of their origin or production method. Chemical substances can be toxic because they can harm us when they enter or come into contact with the body. In this article, we become familiar with some toxic substances present in the household environment and their effects on human health.
The Yeson air purification device is capable of purifying the indoor environment of homes, companies, offices, etc., in both small and large areas without producing any harmful substances for the health of children and adults.
For air pollution at home, what should be done?
Organophosphates and Carbamates:
Organophosphate and carbamate insecticides work by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter in the parasympathetic nervous system). As a result, the level of acetylcholine remains high and mimics the normal functions of the parasympathetic system. This is used to eliminate insects and pests. Inhibiting the blood clotting process by warfarin can lead to internal bleeding.
For air pollution at home, what should be done?
Phthalates:
Phthalates (also known as phthalic acid esters) are a group of related organic chemicals commonly used as plasticizers in the plastics industry. They are often added to other materials, especially polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymers like rubber and styrene, to make them flexible and elastic.
Perchloroethylene:
Perchloroethylene is a chlorocarbon with the molecular formula C2Cl4. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet odor and is primarily used as a cleaning agent for fabrics. Perchloroethylene is an excellent solvent for organic compounds and finds wide application in various industries. It is also known as tetrachloroethylene and is extensively used in dry cleaning.
Tobacco Smoke:
Cigarette and hookah smoke contain pollutants such as carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, gases, and fine particles, some of which are carcinogenic.
Air Pollution at Home | Sources of Indoor Air Pollution:
Carbon Monoxide and NOX:
Heating appliances and gas stoves, if not properly installed, can produce significant amounts of nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide, both of which are highly harmful.
Radon:
Radon is a gas that cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted. When uranium enters rocks, soil, or water, it forms the dangerous gas radon. Radon enters homes through cracks or holes in walls or pipes. It is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
Formaldehyde:
Formaldehyde is a chemical released from adhesives, household items, wood, curtains, clothing, and furniture fabrics used in buildings.
Sulfur Dioxide:
Sulfur dioxide, an acidic pollutant, irritates the respiratory system. It can cause severe coughing when irritating the throat and may lead to breathing difficulties, pulmonary edema, and acute respiratory distress if it reaches the lungs.
Mold Spores:
A colony of mold, known as mold spores, may exist in a moist and cool place in a house, such as between walls. Mold spores are released into the air and spread throughout the house. People may get sick from breathing in mold spores.
Air pollution in the indoor environment of homes raises many concerns. One might wonder if it’s possible to preserve the indoor environment from these pollutants. By using Yeson air purifiers, designed for different room sizes, it is possible to eliminate all these pollutants from the indoor environment, leaving no trace of these contaminants in the air at home. It also ensures the air inside the house is fresh and clean, allowing not only healthy individuals but even those with respiratory illnesses to breathe comfortably without any issues.
