Formaldehyde Removal Methods

 

Formaldehyde is harmful to human health, especially in newly renovated rooms where it is prevalent. So where does indoor formaldehyde come from?

 

 

Sources of Formaldehyde!

In home decoration, formaldehyde mainly comes from: man-made boards, building materials, and interior decoration supplies; even curtains may release formaldehyde.

 

 

Harmful Effects of Formaldehyde:

First, inhaling excessive formaldehyde can cause respiratory problems, leading to sore throat, nasal burns, coughing, and shortness of breath.

Secondly, it can affect vision. Eyes are very sensitive to formaldehyde, which can cause burning, tearing, and redness.

In addition, formaldehyde can cause skin allergies, leading to rashes, urticaria, and other contact allergic dermatitis; excessive intake of formaldehyde can cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain; even more seriously, formaldehyde can cause cancer and is a major culprit in childhood leukemia.

Therefore, how to remove formaldehyde has become an important concern in people's lives today.

 

How to Remove Formaldehyde in Home Decoration?

There are several methods to remove formaldehyde: firstly, opening windows for ventilation; secondly, physical adsorption; and thirdly, chemical decomposition.

A common chemical decomposition method is to add products that can decompose formaldehyde to the paint. This coating can continuously capture formaldehyde and decompose it into harmless substances.
