Does grapefruit peel remove formaldehyde?

Grapefruit peels cannot remove formaldehyde. Placing grapefruit peels, tea leaves, peppercorns, pineapples, onions, etc. in a newly renovated room or using white vinegar to fumigate the entire room are all folk remedies and are huge mistakes, because this only covers up and mixes the source of pollution instead of cleaning it up. This actually makes the pollution more dangerous, causing people to absorb various harmful compounds without knowing it, causing great harm to the human body.

Misunderstandings about Formaldehyde Removal

If there is no smell in the room, does it mean there is no formaldehyde? If there is no smell in the room for a short period of time, it does not mean that the formaldehyde content meets the standard. When the formaldehyde content exceeds the standard by 2-3 times, no obvious odor can be smelled, and it may also be masked by other odors. Formaldehyde is a gas that is extremely difficult to volatilize and can stay indoors for as long as 3-15 years.

Can the use of environmentally friendly building materials avoid the occurrence of formaldehyde? In fact, environmentally friendly building materials do help reduce harmful gases in the room, but even if all environmentally friendly building materials are used, the air quality may still exceed the standard in the end. Most environmentally friendly building materials only have harmful substance content and harmful gas emissions below a certain standard, but they are not completely free of harmful substances and do not emit harmful gases. In addition, factors such as the decoration design, room structure, ventilation conditions, and the superposition effect of harmful gases still cannot guarantee that the indoor air quality after the room is decorated will meet the standard.

Can fumigating vinegar remove formaldehyde? Vinegar is an acidic substance and has a weak effect of neutralizing ammonia in the air, but it will not react with other harmful components such as formaldehyde. Therefore, this method of removing formaldehyde is not advisable.

Studies have shown that excessive formaldehyde concentration can be harmful to the body. When the formaldehyde concentration in the air reaches 0.06-0.07 mg/m3, children will experience mild asthma; when the formaldehyde concentration in indoor air reaches 0.1 mg/m3, there will be odor and discomfort; when the formaldehyde concentration exceeds 0.6 mg/m3, it will cause nausea and vomiting. For the health of your family, what are some common and effective methods for removing formaldehyde?

01. Open windows for ventilation

Formaldehyde is a volatile substance. Open all the doors and windows in the room, maintain air convection inside and outside the house, and expel harmful substances. It is simple and cost-free. However, please be sure to close the doors and windows in time to prevent theft.

02. Plant adsorption

When there is sufficient light during the day, plants can absorb some harmful substances through photosynthesis. Chlorophytum and ivy can absorb some harmful substances in the room. However, after the new house is renovated, formaldehyde from furniture continues to be released, and plants can only play an auxiliary role in controlling harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene.

03. Activated carbon adsorption

Activated carbon, coal ash, and grapefruit peel can improve air quality through adsorption. Placing about 50g of activated carbon per square meter indoors can have a good adsorption effect on formaldehyde, but at the same time, attention should also be paid to the replacement of the activated carbon, which is generally once every 7-8 months.

04. Maya blue adsorption

Maya blue is a highly efficient formaldehyde removal material that controls indoor air pollution by adsorption and decomposition. The developed pores of Maya blue can absorb formaldehyde and other pollutant molecules, and then decompose the pollution. The decomposition components in Maya Blue can decompose pollutant molecules such as formaldehyde, benzene, TVOC, etc. into harmless gases commonly found in the air, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen, and then continue to absorb and decompose, forming a virtuous formaldehyde removal cycle.

05. Professional formaldehyde removal agency

Formaldehyde pollution sources are divided into long-term pollution sources and short-term pollution sources. To effectively deal with formaldehyde, it is necessary to scientifically deal with it from the root according to different sources and release cycles at the beginning of decoration. Prevention is better than cure. After decoration, please ask a professional formaldehyde removal company to deal with other formaldehyde pollution sources. Eradicating it is the most thorough.
