In the decoration, as far as possible, the decoration materials that meet the national standards and have less pollution are used, which is the fundamental to reduce the benzene content in the indoor air. For example, the use of paint, glue and paint produced by regular manufacturers; use of non-polluting or less polluting water-based materials; pay special attention to the choice of adhesive, because there are no provisions for the use of adhesives in the various provisions of the architectural decoration industry.

Formaldehyde can be absorbed through the respiratory tract. Modern scientific research shows that formaldehyde has a negative impact on human health. Long-term exposure to low-dose formaldehyde can cause chronic respiratory diseases, menstrual disorders in women, pregnancy syndrome, neonatal physical decline, chromosomal abnormalities, and even nasopharyngeal cancer. High concentrations of formaldehyde are toxic to the nervous system, the immune system, and the liver. Formaldehyde also has teratogenic and carcinogenic effects. Prolonged exposure to formaldehyde can cause cancer in the nose, mouth, nasopharyngeal, throat, skin, and digestive tract.
