What is TVOC?
People want to remove formaldehyde in the newly decorated home. But in fact, formaldehyde is one of air pollutants in the new decorated houses, there are more toxic or harmful gases which are collectively referred to as total volatile organic compounds (TVOC). TVOC is the serious one among the three kinds of pollution in indoor air quality. TVOC is refers to the organic matter with saturation vapor pressure at room temperature higher than 133.32 pa and its boiling point is at 50 ℃ to 250 ℃, and can exist in the form of evaporation at room temperature in air. Its toxicity, irritation, carcinogenicity and special smell can affect the skin and mucous membrane, and has acute damage to human body.
Harmful gas, such as ammonia, benzene and toluene, xylene, etc. people are familiar with are all belong to the category of TOVC. Indoor TOVC is mainly emitted by building materials, interior decoration materials and living and office supplies, etc. TVOC may be smelling, stimulating, and some compounds have genetic toxicity.
According to current views, TVOC can cause immunity imbalance, and affect the central nervous system and digestive system functions. People will suffer from skin allergy, sore throat, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, chest tightness, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and other self-conscious symptoms, and may even cause bronchitis, allergic asthma, pneumonia, and pulmonary edema. The most serious, it will damage the liver and the function of hematopoietic system, etc.
How to reduce indoor air pollution?
Sources of indoor air pollutants are various which are probably from both indoor and outdoor. Industrial emissions and automobile exhaust pollution is one of the well-known source of pollution, but many other pollution sources is often ignored by people, such as bacteria, mold, dust mites, pollen, household cleaners, and daily cleaning products, pesticides, paint remover, cigarettes, as well as smoke produced by burning gasoline, natural gas, wood, or carbon, even decoration materials and building materials are also important pollution sources.
According to a study of European Union, the common objects at home are the main source of volatile organic compounds. Many consumer products and biodegradable materials also release volatile organic compounds, among which formaldehyde, benzene, naphthalene are the most common and threatening harmful gases.
OAXISI air purifier is one of the three methods to reduce indoor air pollution recommended by the US Environmental Protection Committee. In order to get effective ability to remove the air pollution, the following are three methods:
Remove pollution sources or control pollutant emissions
Ventilation equipment
Air purifier
Remove pollution sources or control pollutant emissions is not a simple choice.
