What should I do if there is a smell of bad eggs in my bathroom?

The bathroom smelled like a bad egg, and it seemed that the TVOC was exceeded.

TVOC is a general term for volatile organic compounds. As heterogeneous pollutants in indoor air, due to their low individual concentrations but many types, they are generally not expressed separately one by one, and their total amount is expressed by TVOC.

TVOC includes formaldehyde, benzene, p-(o-xylene), styrene, ethylbenzene, butyl acetate, trichloroethylene, chloroform, undecane, etc. Interior construction and finishing materials are the main sources of TVOC in the air. Studies have shown that even if the content of a single VOC in indoor air is lower than its limit, the mixed presence of multiple VOCs and their interaction will increase the intensity of the hazard.

TVOC is toxic and irritating, can cause imbalance of the body's immune level, affect the function of the central nervous system, cause dizziness, headache, drowsiness, weakness, chest tightness and other symptoms, and may also affect the digestive system, loss of appetite, nausea, etc., and in severe cases, it can damage the liver and hematopoietic system, and even cause death.
