Many people like to place a glass tabletop on their office desks. This not only makes the entire desktop look smooth and beautiful, but also protects the desktop. However, this practice is not actually good. If a person works on this glass tabletop for a long time, it will not only not improve work efficiency, but also cause certain damage to the body.
Glass is a long-standing inorganic material that is widely used in daily life and work due to its high density and strong reflectivity. However, this type of glass tabletop is not suitable for people to read and write on for a long time. This is also related to the characteristics of the glass tabletop. It is well known that glass has strong reflectivity. When people are studying or working at their desks, their mouths and noses are relatively close to the glass tabletop. The carbon dioxide and other waste gases exhaled by people can easily be bounced back by the glass tabletop and re-inhaled into the body. It is well-known that a certain concentration of carbon dioxide can cause suffocation and poisoning, with symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and indigestion. When the inhaled carbon dioxide concentration exceeds 20%, it can cause death in a few seconds.
Therefore, it is not wise to place a glass tabletop on the desk. In addition, attention should also be paid to the temperature of the glass tabletop. Generally, the temperature of the glass tabletop is about 10 degrees lower than room temperature. In summer, people wear short sleeves. When the exposed elbows are directly pressed against the glass tabletop that is cooler than room temperature, the sudden temperature drop will cause rapid contraction of capillaries and pores, hinder the dissipation of internal body heat, and cause sweating. Therefore, for the sake of our health, do not use a glass tabletop on the desktop. If a glass tabletop is used, it is best to open the windows to ensure air circulation indoors.
Many people like to place colorful pictures under the glass tabletop to make the desk look more beautiful. But doing so can distract people's attention while working and also affect their health. This is because strong colors can stimulate the eyes and affect vision, causing visual fatigue. Therefore, when using a glass tabletop, it is recommended to place some dark green non-reflective velvet cloth or similar items under the tabletop, which can protect the eyes.
Editor's Reminder:
Most people have the habit of looking in the mirror, so they will place many mirrors in their homes. These mirrors can create a sense of confusion in visual perception. If one is in such an environment for a long time, it can lead to lack of concentration and a state of mental exhaustion, which can easily lead to hallucinations. When a person looks at themselves in the mirror and pities themselves because of unpleasant events, the mirror can indirectly harm the person. If there are elderly people in the home, it is even more inappropriate to place too many mirrors in the house. When a person is surrounded by mirrors on all sides, it can lead to self-indulgence and exacerbate a self-centered personality, which is not good for mental well-being.
