Patient's question:
The new house is currently being renovated, and I am responsible for this entire project. My husband is busy with work, and he also doesn't know how to handle these kinds of things, so I have to personally oversee everything. I am currently pregnant, and these past few days have involved painting. Every time I go, the strong smell is a bit unbearable, but there's no other choice but to go every day.May I ask, since the new house is being renovated and painting is currently underway, will going there every day affect my health?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the impact of paint products on the human body is that they can affect pregnancy, as the color pigments in paint often contain heavy metals harmful to the human body, such as cadmium, iron, chromium, arsenic, etc., with lead being the most common, as lead can make paint dry quickly. It is recommended not to stay in a newly renovated house for a long time. If you need to enter, wear a mask. Wait three months after the house is decorated before moving in.
