Are you worried about waiting for the decoration of the house for a long time, but you can't live in time? Are you also worried about formaldehyde everywhere in the new house? We all know the harm of formaldehyde to our body. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with strong irritant odor. The main harm of formaldehyde is that it has strong irritant effect on skin and mucous membrane. It can combine with protein, and when inhaled in high concentration, it will cause serious irritation of respiratory tract and edema, eye irritation, headache and other symptoms. Here are a few ways I can reduce formaldehyde in my family.
The first method is to use formaldehyde scavenger. This kind of method is the most direct and effective, the effect of formaldehyde scavenger is very significant, and it is very easy to operate. At the same time, we need to pay attention to the requirements of this kind of method for formaldehyde scavenging products, which are also very professional. Now there are chemical products, plant original solution formaldehyde scavenging products and other products on the market, because this kind of products may have 'secondary pollution', we Use with caution. Unless formaldehyde is very heavy, we generally do not advocate this method.
The second method uses activated carbon to absorb formaldehyde. Activated carbon is famous for its strong adsorption capacity. We can buy some activated carbon in the supermarket or online, and use activated carbon and bamboo charcoal with adsorption function to remove and absorb these harmful gases. This method is also the most widely used method at present. However, there is a small problem. The scope of active carbon action space is relatively small. If the house space is relatively large, the amount of active carbon to be used is also relatively large It should also be emphasized that the service life of activated carbon is limited, and it needs to be replaced in a few months, otherwise the adsorbed formaldehyde will be released into the air.
The third way is to use plants to remove formaldehyde. Plants can absorb formaldehyde, but the amount of formaldehyde absorbed by plants is not particularly large. In the environment with less formaldehyde, we can place one or more pots of potted plants, which can not only absorb formaldehyde in fresh air, but also nourish our tired eyes to a certain extent. The plants raised indoors are Chlorophytum, ivy, tiger orchid, Agave, gerbera, aloe, etc. At the same time, open the doors and windows for ventilation, let the natural circulation of indoor air replace to dilute and take away the harmful gases in the room. This method is the most original and long-term useful method.
The above methods can play an obvious role in adsorbing formaldehyde, but due to the huge impact of formaldehyde on the body, it is better not to live in the new houses newly built or just finished decoration. After half a year, go to the market to buy some formaldehyde testing products, and live again after the formaldehyde content is qualified. Especially families with children need to pay more attention to this aspect.
