Can formaldehyde be removed by using a fan?

Formaldehyde can be said to be an invisible killer for us. We cannot feel the harm of formaldehyde to us at once, but once we stay in a room with formaldehyde for a long time, our heart, liver, kidneys and other parts will be damaged. A simple way to remove formaldehyde is to buy some green plants and place them at home, which can also beautify the home environment. So can formaldehyde be removed by using an electric fan?

Electric fans have no effect on removing formaldehyde, and they only enhance the air circulation in the room, but have no effect on preventing formaldehyde from spreading to the outside.

Formaldehyde pollution is divided into long-term pollution sources and short-term pollution sources. Generally, we need to treat long-term pollution sources, because short-term pollution sources may evaporate in about half a year, but we should pay attention to more ventilation. The release cycle of long-term pollution sources is as long as several years, and grapefruit peels and the like only cover up the smell and cannot achieve any removal effect. The absorption energy of green plants is quite limited and negligible. Photocatalysts can remove formaldehyde in the air, but it will rebound after a while, because long-term pollution sources will continue to release formaldehyde. Therefore, it is recommended to choose artificial board (formaldehyde long-term release pollution source) formaldehyde remover, but many not-so-good products on the market are also called this name, so you need to be cautious when choosing. It is recommended to buy a small amount and try it first. If there is no rebound, then treat the entire room.
