What is the harm of formaldehyde?
As we all know, high formaldehyde concentration will cause human discomfort. When the concentration of formaldehyde in the air exceeds 0.6 mg/m3, people will feel eye irritation and sore throat. If you stay in the air with formaldehyde concentration exceeding 10PPM for a few minutes, people will cry. In addition, long-term exposure to low-concentration formaldehyde may also cause chronic respiratory diseases, leading to menstrual disorders in women, chromosomal abnormalities in newborns, and even nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The following are several practical aldehyde removal methods:

1, ventilation. Window ventilation is convenient and effective. After the renovation of the new house, there must be a certain period of ventilation and fragrance, and you can't rush to stay.

2, Ye Guang mud, activated carbon. Activated carbon comes out earlier, which can absorb formaldehyde and odor, but it is easy to saturate and is often replaced. The new generation of Ye Guang mud can effectively adsorb and decompose formaldehyde, so the adsorption force is stronger, and the effective adsorption period is three years.

3, in addition to aldehyde spray. Light green pigment can be regarded as the latest generation of in addition to formaldehyde spray, which can effectively target formaldehyde in furniture, plates, walls and floors. Photocatalytic decomposition of formaldehyde requires illumination and ultraviolet light, otherwise there may be problems such as incomplete decomposition.

4. Green plants. Green plants can purify the air, adjust the temperature and humidity, and beautify the environment. It can also absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde, but the absorption amount is very small, especially the green plants used at home can only be used as an auxiliary means.

5 air purifier, fresh air device. At present, air purifiers and aldehyde-removing air conditioners on the market have certain aldehyde-removing effects, but aldehyde-removing is not their main function. Fresh air devices need to be installed before renovation, and the price of a fresh air device is not low.

In addition, when choosing decoration materials, we should choose reliable, qualified and environmentally friendly materials to reduce formaldehyde from the source. I believe that by comprehensively applying the above methods, everyone can stay in the new house with peace of mind!
