Advances in the Toxicity of Construction and Building Materials
presents the potential and toxic effects of building materials on
human health, along with tactics on how to minimize exposure.
Chapters are divided into four sections covering the toxicity of
indoor environments, fire toxicity, radioactive materials, and
toxicity from plastics, metals, asbestos, nanoparticles and
construction wastes. Key chapters focus on the reduction of
chemical emissions in houses with eco-labelled building materials
and potential risks posed by indoor pollutants that may include
volatile organic compounds (VOC), formaldehyde, semi-volatile
organic compounds (SVOC), radon, NOx, asbestos and nanoparticles.
Known illnesses and reactions that can be triggered by these toxic
building materials include asthma, itchiness, burning eyes, skin
irritations or rashes, nose and throat irritation, nausea,
headaches, dizziness, fatigue, reproductive impairment, disruption
of the endocrine system, impaired child development and birth
defects, immune system suppression, and even cancer.
