There are many other chemicals inside the house that endanger human health from various aspects!
According to the definition of the World Health Organization (WHO), volatile organic compounds include compounds that have at least one carbon molecule and one hydrogen molecule in their chemical structure and have a melting point lower than room temperature.
It is worth noting that these compounds are usually separated from the production source in the form of gas and people will be exposed to them indoors or in roofed environments.
Studies have shown that humans are exposed to volatile organic compounds in the indoor environment more than 2 to 5 times compared to the outdoor environment.
Sometimes, the concentration of fugitive chemical compounds immediately after some activities, such as building painting, reaches more than 1000 times the amount outside the house!
As a result of mixing them together, a harmful and dangerous chemical compound may be produced.
Among other chemical compounds that humans come into contact with and breathe inside the house or in closed and isolated spaces is the smoke from burning tobacco.
Studies have shown that tobacco smoke in cigarettes, hookahs or pipes contains about 7000 volatile chemical compounds!
Insecticides are toxic compounds that are used to kill and destroy all kinds of insects inside and around the house.
Of course, the poisons used to kill rodents such as mice are also among these chemical compounds.
Insecticides are often available in the form of sprays, liquids, pens impregnated with insecticide compounds, powders, crystalline particles, or evaporable tablets.
Studies have shown that a high percentage of families in Iran and other countries in the world use at least one insecticide or pesticide indoors.
Normally contact with these insecticides is through direct inhalation of these compounds or inhalation of dust contaminated with these toxins and chemical compounds.
Nitrogen dioxide and nitrogen oxide are toxic gases that are produced and enter the indoor air due to the use of unauthorized and non-standard combustion devices (such as gas stoves or gas heaters) or as a result of improper and improper installation of combustion devices. .
These gases are also present in the smoke from burning tobacco or oil heaters.
Suspended particulate pollutants are complex combinations of solid (or) and liquid particles that are suspended in breathing air.
These particles are very diverse in terms of size, shape and chemical composition.
Particulate matter in the breathing air of the house often has a size of 10 micrometers or less.
These particles with this size can easily enter a person’s respiratory tract and lungs.
The origin of suspended particles in the breathing air of the house is sometimes the air outside the house, which is transported from the outside to the inside of the house due to the air flow.
In some cases, suspended particles in the indoor air have an internal origin.
Some of the internal sources of creating suspended particles in the air of the house are:
using a gas stove while cooking, using a fireplace, lighting a candle, using non-standard gas heating devices or using oil heaters.
