When it comes to formaldehyde, many people are familiar with it. Everyone knows that you cannot move into a new house after it is renovated, because the furniture and decoration materials contain formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is very harmful to the human body. Most people remove formaldehyde by ventilating the house, and then choose some auxiliary methods to remove the formaldehyde content. So what is the best way to remove formaldehyde? Here are some better things to remove formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde pollution degree value and detection method:

The national detection standard for formaldehyde is 0.08mg/m3

Judging from the feeling of the senses

Mild pollution: Formaldehyde concentration value: less than 0.26mg/m3, Feeling: pungent odor

Severe pollution Formaldehyde concentration: 0.5 mg/m3 or above Sensation: conjunctiva feels dry and irritated

Photocatalyst is a general term for optical semiconductor materials with photocatalytic function, represented by nano-scale titanium dioxide. It is coated on the surface of the substrate and produces strong catalytic degradation function under the action of ultraviolet light and visible light. It can effectively degrade harmful and toxic gases in the air and kill bacteria. It can then decompose the toxins released by bacteria and fungi and dispose of them harmlessly. It also has the functions of removing formaldehyde, deodorizing, anti-fouling, and purifying the air.

Open the windows for ventilation, speed up the air flow in the house, circulate out the air containing harmful substances such as formaldehyde, and bring in fresh air. It is best to have a humidifier. Over time, the formaldehyde in the house will become less and less, so it is best to air the newly renovated house for half a year before moving in.

The temperature is high in summer and more formaldehyde is released. More ventilation can help ventilate some of it.

Open windows; open drawers, wardrobes, cabinets and other doors; you can put a fan to enhance air convection; especially note that it is better to open windows in summer than in winter, and it is better to open windows during the day than at night.

Plant adsorption method is also a good choice. Many green plants such as spider plants, cacti, tiger tail plants, iron trees, chrysanthemums, bamboos, and monsteras have strong absorption capabilities for formaldehyde.

Activated carbon. Activated carbon absorbs everything except formaldehyde. Because the price is relatively affordable, although there are suggestions online for secondary use after sunlight exposure, I personally don't think it's worth the hassle. There is no need to question the effectiveness of activated carbon. Even a small change can lead to a qualitative change. These large and small bags of activated carbon were stuffed into every drawer of the cabinet.

Air purifier: It can absorb and decompose various air pollutants, such as PM2.5, dust, pollen, odor, decoration pollution such as formaldehyde, bacteria and allergens, etc., effectively improving the quality of the air.

There are now professional formaldehyde removal companies. If you have good financial conditions, you can contact them. This is also the fastest and most effective method.

First of all, you need to know the source of formaldehyde and avoid environmentally unfriendly materials when selecting home decoration materials, such as materials with high glue content, and use them as little as possible in home decoration, so as to reduce the formaldehyde content in the new house from the source.

Secondly, adopt comprehensive management and use all kinds of methods and approaches. Remember that quantitative change can lead to qualitative change. The combination of the above methods is sufficient to effectively control formaldehyde.
