The most effective way to remove formaldehyde?

Indoor formaldehyde removal using window ventilation, high temperature, activated carbon, etc. are all very good ways to remove formaldehyde. However, formaldehyde removal is a long-term process. Rapid formaldehyde removal can only be controlled from the source of pollution.

How to eliminate indoor formaldehyde?

1. Open windows for ventilation

Open windows for ventilation to allow air convection to dissipate and discharge harmful indoor gases. It is best to open all the windows facing the house to enhance air convection. However, once the doors and windows are closed, the formaldehyde hidden in the floors and cabinets will volatilize into the air!

2. Use high temperature weather to accelerate formaldehyde emissions

High temperatures can accelerate formaldehyde emissions in furniture. The higher the temperature, the more likely formaldehyde in furniture will volatilize. For every 1°C increase in room temperature, the formaldehyde evaporated from wooden furniture and floors will increase the formaldehyde concentration in indoor air by 0.15-0.37 times.

3. Use activated carbon

Activated carbon can be placed in some relatively sealed corners. Activated carbon also has strong adsorption capacity, but its adsorption capacity is limited, so it must be replaced in time. You can also choose a new material like Batomite, which does not need to be replaced, which is more convenient.

4. Plant adsorption

Plants can indeed improve the environment. For example, pothos can absorb formaldehyde, and tiger orchid can release oxygen at night, but just a few pots of decorative plants are not enough. Not enough, unless you fill half the room with pothos. So it can only be used as a auxiliary function.

5.?Air purifier

The air purifier can absorb formaldehyde and PM2.5 in the air. And in most cases where windows cannot be opened, air purifiers can play a big role.

6. Water wiping method

According to the characteristics of formaldehyde soluble in water, wiping the furniture with water will increase the humidity of the room, and formaldehyde will be more easily released.

The harmfulness of formaldehyde has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many people even "talk about the discoloration of formaldehyde". The above provides you with six methods to remove formaldehyde. I hope it will be helpful to you.

What things contain formaldehyde?

In our lives, we are inevitably exposed to formaldehyde, but do you really know what things around you contain formaldehyde?

1. Curtains

Curtains In textile production, some curtains made of cotton, linen and other materials are prone to wrinkles. In order to improve their wrinkle resistance, many manufacturers will add wrinkles to the fabric. Common additives such as artificial resin are added, so the formaldehyde and TVOC content in curtains are often high!

2.?Wallpaper

Wallpaper is deeply loved by everyone because of its rich colors and diverse patterns. During the production process of wallpaper itself, various chemicals will inevitably be added, and these chemicals may contain various harmful substances, such as formaldehyde, toluene, xylene, etc. Glue is used when wallpaper is pasted on the wall. The glue contains formaldehyde molecules, which will increase the formaldehyde content and even exceed the standard.

3. Flooring

Whether it is solid wood flooring or laminate flooring, the raw materials themselves may be environmentally friendly, but if they are processed into floors, the process requires splicing, polishing, and compression. , combination, the process requires the use of glue, and the main raw material of adhesive is formaldehyde, so there will be a large amount of free formaldehyde in the artificial boards.

4. Old furniture

Formaldehyde can be released for 3 to 15 years, so don’t think that there will be no problem if the furniture is stored for three to five years. Old furniture, especially low-quality furniture, may still emit formaldehyde.

5. Tobacco

Cigarettes also contain a very high amount of formaldehyde, and the filter can only filter out 20% to 40% of formaldehyde. Smoking and second-hand smoke and third-hand smoke People can also breathe formaldehyde.

6. New clothes

In the production of clothing fabrics, some formaldehyde-containing additives are added to flatten the clothes. Many clothes also have printing. During the printing process, these printings It often also contains formaldehyde, which can be absorbed by the body through the skin, and the higher the body temperature, the stronger the skin's ability to absorb toxins.

7. Daily necessities

Glues, tapes, detergents, etc. may contain formaldehyde. When using pesticides and detergents in daily use, pay attention to ventilation to dissipate the smell. When people come in after that, be careful not to bite it with your teeth when tearing off the tape. Generally, the impact is not big.
