Mineral wool can be made on the basis of stone - a natural mineral, as well as glass. Is this material safe, is it worth it to use, especially when it comes to the construction of private country houses that are used individually?
Today, a lot of controversy is going on in this regard. Someone testifies to the complete safety of mineral wool, since the material has passed numerous tests and did not prove to be dangerous. Someone says that stone wool is completely safe for health, but the use of glass wool should be feared, it is best to abandon the use of fiberglass, compressed briquettes.
Fatal harm to health
According to an independent examination, mineral wool in any of its manifestations is very dangerous for human health. Let's start with fiberglass. In fact, such a wool is made of molten glass. At high temperatures, the glass melts into thin threads, from which mineral wool layers are subsequently made, which is used as a heater:
- for roofing;
- walls;
- foundation;
- sexes;
- ceilings and so on.
During the construction process, such cotton wool can not even be taken with hands, unprotected gloves. Trace elements of fiberglass penetrate under the skin, and it is very difficult to remove them from there. Experts believe that by capillaries, these thin microfibers can penetrate into larger vessels, causing irreparable harm to human health. Inhaling glass microfibres is also harmful to health, deadly. Ideally, it is better to completely abandon this material, using a safer, more practical, technologically advanced insulation.
Carcinogenic constituents are necessarily present in the composition of stone wool, as well as glass wool. In fact, it is a binder that helps bond the fibers to each other, forming durable layers of insulation. Unfortunately, phenol formaldehyde or melamine formaldehyde resin is a total health hazard. These toxic substances are the same as phenol, formaldehyde. This is poison for the human body.
Unpleasant consequences
The use of these materials leads to such sad consequences as lung cancer, the occurrence of malignant neoplasms in the bones, in soft tissues, in any human organs. In the United States of America, a study was even conducted that revealed that the mortality rate among the workers who produced glass wool and mineral water was total. Many of them died precisely from lung cancer.
