Healthy Living In RV's
|
In the world of RVing more people are turning to going green with their rv's in other word's if they are buying a new rv they will be looking at one that has less non toxic material such as the material that are use in the wall board, flooring, insulation, cabinet material and so on . Keep in mind in an rv you are in a very confine area in most case’s like small camper \ travel trailer. Take for example if you have small trailer and it shut up most of the time you are able to smell the wall paneling and cabinet’s when you first walk in the older ones seems even worst that why people like to take the vintage trailer and go through them using the low-VOC and no-VOC paints , also the soy-based PureBond formaldehyde-free plywood . Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs are chemicals that easily enter the air as gases from some solids or liquids. They are ingredients in many commonly used products and are in the air of just about every indoor setting. A lot of people ask the question what is formaldehyde well according to the definition I came across it’s a colorless, gaseous compound, HCHO, the simplest aldehyde, used for manufacturing melamine and phenolic resins, fertilizers, dyes, and embalming fluids and in aqueous solution as a preservative and disinfectant. It is found in a variety of item’s such as plywood, particle board, and other pressed wood products that are commonly used to make furniture, cabinets, wall paneling, shelves, and counter tops. It also is found in items such as dyes, textiles, plastics, paper products, fertilizer, and some cosmetics. There is a way to reduce exposure it is to apply a barrier between formaldehyde containing surfaces.
