What are the hidden dangers of furniture and home materials?

Did you know that some of our furniture and home appliances can become villains that destroy our health if we do not pay attention or take care of them? For example...
 
• Real stones from natural sources that we use may contain radioactive substances such as "radon" mixed in the material (depending on the source/origin of that material). Radon is a colorless, odorless natural gas. When it accumulates in the body in large amounts, it can cause lung cancer in the long term.
 
• Paint and furniture in our homes may contain various harmful volatile substances, such as paint that can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and furniture made from plywood often contains formaldehyde from the glue that holds the wood together. When we inhale, it affects the respiratory system, nervous system, hormones, and body growth. If it accumulates in the body in large amounts, it can increase the chances of respiratory cancer and leukemia.
 
• Air conditioners, carpets, wallpapers, and various furniture, if they are not cleaned, they will cause dust and moisture to accumulate and may cause mold, which can cause allergies, eye irritation, or affect the respiratory system.
 
You should clean your house regularly. Including, household items and should open windows to ventilate the house regularly to reduce the accumulation of dust and reduce the accumulation of volatile substances that are harmful to our bodies.

Mae Moh Power Plant and Carbon Reduction Goals

As Thailand moves towards carbon neutrality by 2050 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2065, aligning with global trends, one question many people have is how to manage coal-fired power plants in Thailand. It's well-known in academic circles that coal-fired power plants release a higher proportion of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than natural gas-fired power plants, even though they both use fossil fuels.

Produce 'cement' from 'carbon' captured from the air, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Cement production generates approximately 2.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year. Capture the carbon dioxide from this process and convert it into "metal oxalate," which can be used as a precursor to sustainable alternative building materials. Once the carbon dioxide is converted to solid metal oxalate, it is not released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide under normal conditions.

CCS Technology: Thailand's Hope to Achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2065

Many people have probably wondered whether "Net Zero Emissions" or net-zero greenhouse gas emissions are truly achievable. Countries around the world have pledged to achieve this goal at varying times based on readiness. Thailand has set a target of 2065, 41 years from now, while economic powerhouses like the United States have set a target of 2050, and China has set a target of 2060.
