"Green Home" Should Meet the "Eight-character Standard"
The insiders believe that "green home" should meet the "eight-character standard"-healthy, pleasant, natural and friendly. From choosing a living environment that is far away from noise, fresh air, sunny and beautiful scenery, to using environmental protection paint, health care tiles, decorating the family with flowers and green grass, and creating a green environment, it is all included in these eight words.
"Green home" is embodied in reasonable layout, warm in winter and cool in summer, pleasant temperature and humidity environment, no dust and sufficient natural light. "Green building" requires not only green belts or community parks in residential areas, but also places for placing and planting green plants indoors and on balconies. If the window has a wide view, it will be more convenient to get close to the natural environment. In addition, the safety of decorative building materials is particularly important for the green environment of the room.
Correct selection of green household items
Now the market is full of all kinds of green household items, which make people see things in a blur, don't understand the concept, and can't tell the true from the false. So how do we choose and buy "green home" such as green floor, green furniture and green paint? Professionals answer our doubts one by one.
Green floor:
At present, the pre-evaluation test of the floor is carried out according to the national Hygienic Standard for Formaldehyde in Indoor Air, and the maximum formaldehyde concentration is 0.08 mg/m2, from which the maximum allowable use area or usage of a reinforced floor in every 100 cubic meter space can be calculated. The formaldehyde emission of green floor is below 0.08mg/m2, and the allowed paving area is1100m2. Buying tips:
1, to buy a wooden floor, you should go to a regular large building materials supermarket or specialty store to buy a brand floor, so that the quality and environmental protection requirements can be guaranteed;
2. Formaldehyde in indoor air exists not only in laminate flooring, but also in artificial boards such as plywood, blockboard, medium density fiberboard and particleboard in indoor decoration. Green furniture should be fully considered when decorating;
In order to pursue high profits, some furniture manufacturers use unqualified plates to make furniture, and use inferior glue when bonding veneer materials. Buying such furniture home is equivalent to buying back a small waste gas discharge station. And green furniture won't make you have such concerns.
Shopping tips:
1. At present, there is no clear concept definition and measurement standard for green furniture in China. Therefore, for consumers, the most direct way to distinguish whether furniture is "green" is to open the cupboard door or drawer and smell the pungent smell. Green furniture generally eliminates the smell in a few days, and should not smell any strong smell when buying it;
2. When purchasing, we should also consider environmental protection to see whether rare trees are used as plates, whether excessive packaging causes waste of resources and whether they can be recycled.
3. If possible, try to choose solid wood furniture, rattan and bamboo furniture is also a good choice.
Green paint:
Some low-grade and counterfeit paints may contain formaldehyde and benzene, especially benzene. Benzene compounds are mainly volatilized from paint and paint additives, and inferior paint is an important reason for the excessive benzene content in indoor air. Benzene can irritate skin, eyes and upper respiratory tract, which easily leads to chronic benzene poisoning. Long-term inhalation can easily lead to aplastic anemia, infertility, spontaneous abortion and fetal birth defects. The release of toxic and harmful gases in green paint will be lower than the standard and will not cause harm to human body.
Shopping tips:
1. Buy reputable brand-name coatings from trusted merchants;
2. There are instructions certified by authoritative organizations on the packaging and product introduction.
