How repair is harmful to health

For someone, repair is a real disaster. It takes so much money and time, and the result can be mediocre. But, it turns out that this is not so bad - repair can be harmful to health, and yet many do not even think about it. How exactly can finishing work affect your well-being?

Hazardous paint

A great health hazard is paints and all kinds of solvents that are almost always used for repairs. At the same time, problems with well-being can occur both for professional painters and for those who renew their repairs every 10 years. Hazardous toxic compounds begin to be released in large quantities during the drying process.

The paints contain volatile compounds and solvents, which are equally hazardous in both oil and water mixtures. Any coloring compounds when inhaling their vapors provoke exacerbation of asthma and sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses of the nose).

Therefore, it is so important to observe safety measures during painting work, which include the use of personal protective equipment, such as respirators, goggles and gloves, as well as ventilating the room and breaks in work. Otherwise, toxic fumes will irritate the mucous membranes of the eyes and respiratory tract, as well as the skin on the hands. If you inhale large quantities of paints and varnishes, you can earn oncology or disorders of the central nervous system.

Danish experts have proven in practice that constant work with solvents leads to dementia, and painters were naturally included in the risk group. Other scientists argue that the constant work with paints and varnishes leads to infertility.

Other hazardous work

Sanding the floor can also be harmful to your health. If you work without a respirator, then the dust begins to irritate the respiratory tract, respiratory problems appear. Dust and debris can also cause skin irritation. Therefore, doctors recommend working with gloves and respirators, and after showering, take a shower. Also, varnishing the floor is a rather dangerous occupation, as varnish contains a large amount of solvents and other harmful chemicals.

Wallpaper glue contains poisons that are toxic to the growth of fungi and mold. Constant work with such compounds can cause eczema. The bad news is that with every contact with the irritant, the skin will give a similar allergic reaction.
