Colocado por: alexandrapinheiroBoa tarde!
Estou a construir e estava a pensar colocar flutuante vinílico na casa toda. Tenho um receio: não passa de plástico e temo que haja cheiro e que seja prejudicial à saúde respirar num ambiente plastificado a minha vida inteira. Alguém sabe se este receio é válido?

A new study out of Duke University finds that children living in homes with all vinyl flooring or flame-retardant chemicals in their couches have a higher concentration of harmful toxins in their body.
The Duke-led study was presented at the American Association for the Advancement of Science last week in Washington, D.C., showing children in these environments have "significantly higher concentrations" of potentially harmful semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in their blood and urine.
“SVOCs are widely used in electronics, furniture and building materials and can be detected in nearly all indoor environments,” said Heather Stapleton, an environmental chemist at Duke’s Nicholas School of the Environment, who led the research. “Human exposure to them is widespread, particularly for young children who spend most of their time indoors and have greater exposure to chemicals found in household dust.”
The flame-retardant material in question is polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Couches with the chemical in its foam is linked by the study to six-fold higher concentration of PBDEs in children's blood.
Exposure to PBDEs has been linked in laboratory tests to neurodevelopmental delays, obesity, endocrine and thyroid disruption, cancer, and other diseases.
The study also showed children from homes that had vinyl flooring in all areas were found to have concentrations of benzyl butyl phthalate metabolite in their urine that were 15 times higher than those in children living with no vinyl flooring. Benzyl butyl phthalate has been linked to respiratory disorders, skin irritations, multiple myeolma and reproductive disorders.
Stapleton said despite the risk these chemicals may pose – as well as their commonality – much is still unknown.
“There has been little research on the relative contribution of specific products and materials to children’s overall exposure to SVOCs,” she noted.
The study began in 2014 with Stapleton and colleagues from Duke, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Boston University. The study looked at in-home exposures to SVOCs among 203 children from 190 families over three years.
The team analyzed samples of indoor air, indoor dust and foam collected from furniture in each of the children’s homes, along with a hand-wipe sample, urine and blood from each child.

Colocado por: alexandrapinheiroA minha inclinação para o vinil está relacionada com a possibilidade de ter um chão único em toda a casa. As casas agora são amplas, poucas portas, de um espaço vejo o outro... E gosto de ver tudo igual. E também pelo facto de ser um piso térreo à altura do jardim. Será uma constante entrar e sair e a resistência da madeira não é a mesma. Porque se fosse eu colocaria madeira, não pensava duas vezes. Também gosto muito mais.

Colocado por: jmalmeidaNão vejo como pode dizer que este estudo está a ser abafado.
Procurando no Google, são dezenas de sites a citar este estudo, contra e a favor, como é normal.
Não creio valha a pena entrar em teorias da conspiração, embora também não goste, não tenha e não queira vinil em casa.
Colocado por: alexandrapinheiroO vinil que tenho escolhido é mais caro do que a madeira. A minha escolha não está relacionada com o preço. Pensei apenas na resistência a riscos, humidade, gorduras.
Colocado por: alexandrapinheiroNão tenho coragem de colocar madeira na cozinha e casas de banho... Mas queria um chão igual. E não quero cerâmica na sala e quartos. Foi apenas isso que me agradou no vinil. A homogeneidade que a meu ver é que embeleza a casa.

Dura mais que a madeira,
É mais barato que a madeira,
Mais resistente que a madeira..
