Since the process of construction, the house has the potential to become a store of toxins harmful to human body and develop into fertile ground for potential disease for inhabitants. Working Process that generating dust and micron-sized building materials that contain most of the chemicals are only two causes of the most easily detected. Another cause is poor ventilation and inadequate lighting.
Building materials that are chemical itself is inevitable. Traced from the history, the early construction of houses generally are using materials and natural materials are easy to find and close to the location of residential candidate. Once the material demands fast track following the population explosion, substitute materials of natural materials which means it is made from chemical-is inevitable.
Since the completion of World War II in 1945, production of chemical materials for various household purposes increased rapidly, as a result of restoration needs and urban settlements in the world’s most damaged areas after the war. With such a large demand and in short, no longer possible nature can deliver.
According to Prescriptions for a Healthy House by Paula Baker-Laporte, Erica Elliot and John Banta, chemical production in the new year 1945 ranges from 10 million tons increasing to more than 110 million tons in 2005. Currently, there are now-the lack of more than 4 million chemical products are made by humans. As many as 70-80 thousand of them very familiar to use by people everyday, which most likely unwittingly interfere with the body’s health, particularly respiratory problems, digestion, and allergies.
