"The May Day holiday is coming, where are you going to play?" At the community's May Day tea party, Zhao Xuan started a conversation with his neighbors. Zhao Xuan is a junior high school geography teacher who has studied the interaction between the environment and human activities.
As the conversation shifted to health, Zhao Xuan shared a story about adolescent health about a 14-year-old junior high school student who was diagnosed with lung cancer, even though the student had never smoked.
This story is not only shocking, but also provokes deep thinking about healthy lifestyles among the residents present.
The protagonist of the story is Chen Lei, a bright and lively student whose life seems to be no different from that of other children of the same age, but a series of unfortunate health problems reveal an unknown truth.
After a detailed medical examination and family interviews, the doctor discovered the underlying cause of Chen's lung problems — household items and personal hygiene habits.
Chen Lei's home uses a large number of synthetic furniture, which when newly purchased releases formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which accumulate in high concentrations in indoor air and can seriously affect respiratory health when exposed to them for a long time.
In addition, Chen Lei has a habit of using personal care products with strong aromas, such as perfumes and hairsprays, which also contain chemicals that can cause respiratory irritation and even potential carcinogens.
Zhao Xuan explained in detail the effects of indoor air pollution, noting that while many people value outdoor air quality, in reality, indoor air pollution can be more severe in some cases, especially in modern homes with good seals.
He cited data from a study that showed that children and adolescents who were exposed to high levels of VOCs for a long time had a significantly higher risk of developing respiratory diseases.
Zhao Xuan also mentioned that Chen Lei's bedroom design is not conducive to air circulation, which further exacerbates the accumulation of indoor pollutants.
By improving the home's ventilation system and using furniture with low-polluting materials, Chen's family began to work to improve their living environment.
In the story, Zhao Xuan also cites the doctor's advice that in addition to improving the indoor environment, family members should also have regular health check-ups, especially for children living in highly polluted environments.
In addition, reducing the use of personal care products with high concentrations of chemicals is also an important measure to prevent such diseases.
Through this story, Zhao Xuan hopes to draw everyone's attention to the quality of the indoor environment, and reminds everyone that while pursuing the quality of life, we should pay more attention to the potential impact of the living environment on health.
Through a wealth of data and real-world cases, he highlights the direct impact of environmental factors on health, as well as risks that people may overlook in their lives.
Zhao Xuan asked a thought-provoking question: "How can we effectively manage and improve our indoor environment in the fast-paced modern life to protect our health and the health of our families?"
In response to this problem, he analyzed the importance of indoor environmental management in detail, and suggested creating a healthier living environment by using environmentally friendly materials, improving home ventilation systems, and reducing the use of chemical products.
Zhao Xuan emphasized that this is not only an investment in personal health, but also a guarantee for the quality of life in the future.
