At this stage, situation with contamination of interior finish is already very serious. According to first national academic workshop on indoor air quality and health, about 2 million deaths in developing countries can be caused by excessive indoor air pollution, and about 4% of indoor diseases worldwide; Excessive indoor pollution can cause blood disorders in children, lead poisoning and asthma in children, and greatly impair mental capacity of children; number of deaths caused by indoor air pollution in my country reaches as much as 111,000 every year, 220,000 outpatient visits, economic losses caused by health-threatening indoor pollution reach tens of billions of dollars.

Looking back at finishes of office, following characteristics stand out:

1. Quick check-in: move in immediately after renovations or even work during finishing;
2. Furnishing rush: construction process overlaps and process is rushed, resulting in additional pollution;
3. Investment savings. Ordinary offices are relatively economical in terms of investment and use cheap and low-quality materials, which leads to a violation of environmental protection.
4. Intense people: The average office size is about 1 meter per person, and relative density of people is very high. One can imagine carbon dioxide in office, especially for Internet companies and service companies;
5. Poor ventilation: usually only one door, large glass, small or no windows, and small partitions relying on supply air system for air exchange;

As a result, white-collar workers have become scavengers and storage machines for formaldehyde, VOCs, dust, etc., as well as physical air purifiers. What causes indoor pollution? What harm will they do?
