The dangers of living in a basement for a long time

Many people have heard of and lived in basements. Especially for some migrant workers who do not earn much, basements are the first choice for living. The main reason is that they are cheap. But I still have to say here that you should not just pursue cheapness. If you live in the basement for a long time, it will be bad for your health, because the basement is not only poorly ventilated, but also has no sunlight all year round, and the period is particularly long, which can easily cause respiratory diseases.

Humidity refers to the degree of water content in the air. The normal humidity is between 50% and 70%. When the humidity is high, it can inhibit human sweating, especially in the summer, which makes people feel very uncomfortable. People will feel damp and stuffy, and their urine excretion increases, which increases the burden on the kidneys. Long-term living in such an environment can cause respiratory, rheumatic and peripheral nerve diseases, and also create favorable conditions for the reproduction of mold. Therefore, exhaust fans should be used in the basement to assist indoor air circulation and thus reduce indoor humidity.

An adult needs to breathe 10-12 cubic meters of air every day. If the air is polluted, it can interfere with a person's normal physiological and psychological conditions, often causing irritability, fatigue, dizziness, loss of appetite, etc. Therefore, ventilation is an effective measure to reduce indoor air pollution. It can replace indoor air in a short time, reduce the density of microorganisms in the air, and thus reduce the spread of respiratory diseases.

3. Increase negative ions in the air

Due to long-term residence and living in the basement, poor ventilation, the concentration of negative ions in the room decreases, making people prone to headaches, dizziness, depression, fatigue, etc., and also prone to colds. Therefore, negative ion generators can be used to regularly replenish negative ions in the air, thereby effectively ensuring people's normal residence, life and work.

Playing loud dance music in the basement can not only damage people's hearing due to the sound pressure and infrasound of the strong speakers reverberating in the room, but can also affect the autonomic nervous and endocrine systems, causing headaches, dizziness, tinnitus and other discomforts, and even nausea, vomiting, palpitations and shortness of breath. Fifth, smoking is prohibited. Smoking can cause a lack of oxygen in the indoor air and a sharp increase in the concentration of carbon monoxide. Living in such an environment for a long time can cause people to experience symptoms such as dizziness, flushed face, fatigue, anorexia, and decreased physical strength. Therefore, do not smoke to reduce air pollution.
