Is green radish effective in removing formaldehyde?

Pothos is a green plant that is loved by everyone. There are at least two reasons why we like it. One is that it is very easy to grow, and it can be grown in water or soil. The second is that placing it indoors can purify the air, and its color is also pleasing to the eye. I also like to put green radish in my new house. Some people say that this is to remove formaldehyde. So is green radish effective in removing formaldehyde?

Green ivy can absorb formaldehyde, use formaldehyde for photosynthesis, and has a certain adsorption effect on formaldehyde. However, it cannot be used as the main method to remove formaldehyde, and is generally only used as an auxiliary means. The best way to remove formaldehyde is to open windows for ventilation.

1. Can I smoke?

It is undeniable that it has a certain absorption effect on formaldehyde:

1. On the one hand, it can use formaldehyde as raw material for photosynthesis to produce the nutrients it needs.

2. On the other hand, the surface of its leaves also has a certain adsorption effect and can absorb some formaldehyde molecules in the air.

Therefore, it does have some effect in absorbing formaldehyde, but this effect is not strong and is generally only an auxiliary means of removing formaldehyde.

2. Why not strong

1. We mentioned above the principle of purifying formaldehyde, from which we can also imagine that its role is actually very limited. Firstly, although formaldehyde can also be used as a raw material for photosynthesis, its main raw material is still CO2 after all. The formaldehyde consumed in this way is actually very limited. Secondly, the leaf area of ​​a plant is also limited. Unless you make your home like an ancient jungle and let it cover the entire house, the formaldehyde it can absorb is also limited.

2. However, although it does not have much effect on removing formaldehyde, it does have a certain effect. We can keep it at home to help us purify formaldehyde, but we cannot regard it as the main means of purifying formaldehyde.

3. How to remove formaldehyde

1. Many flower lovers may be troubled again. How do we remove formaldehyde? Here the editor recommends that you use the method of opening windows for ventilation. It can be said that all other methods are unorthodox, and opening windows and ventilating in time is the best way. Because compared to the outside world, the formaldehyde concentration in the house is relatively high, after opening the window, it will gradually diffuse and flow outside the house.

2. However, using this method will leave some formaldehyde in the house. At this time, we can grow some plants such as green radish and ivy in the house to assist in absorption.
