Can a newly renovated house be lived in?

Patient's question:

Our school dorms were just renovated and handed over to us to live in. They weren't ventilated for several days. The main walls were painted, as well as the cabinets and wooden doors. Then we ventilated for about 10 days and also placed activated carbon for 10 days. Today, we had it tested and found mild pollution, but we've already moved in. What should we do? Will it be harmful to our health?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. If you are generally healthy, there is usually no significant impact. However, it is still important to ensure good ventilation. Otherwise, it may affect your immune system. Hello. In general, newly renovated homes need to be ventilated and aired out. You mentioned using activated carbon. This can help absorb harmful substances. Hello. You can continue to use activated carbon, along with ventilation. You can also place green plants to help absorb harmful substances in the air. Ventilate promptly upon waking up in the morning.
