After some people renovate their new houses, they fill the ground with water basins to remove formaldehyde, can water remove formaldehyde?Water cannot remove formaldehyde, but water can absorb formaldehyde, or formaldehyde can be dissolved in water, and formaldehyde dissolved in water will not change in any way.
The professional detector for detecting formaldehyde in indoor air, called the atmospheric sampler, uses the principle that formaldehyde is easily soluble in water to detect formaldehyde.
Let the air pass through the water, and in this process the formaldehyde in the air will dissolve into the water, and finally pour the water into a vial and bring it back to the laboratory to determine the formaldehyde content in the water. If this water can decompose or remove formaldehyde, the test result will not be accurate.
Formaldehyde just dissolves into the water and does not change in any way. Therefore, it is a misconception that water can remove formaldehyde, in fact, it is only formaldehyde dissolved in water.
Since formaldehyde can't be removed, what should be done with the water in the basin, is it necessary to change it constantly?Because the amount of formaldehyde absorbed by water is also limited, it is impossible to absorb it indefinitely, so it is necessary to change the water frequently.
It is not a good way to remove formaldehyde in the basin, it costs money to buy a basin, and it also wastes water. It is better to open the window for ventilation, if it can be convection, as soon as the window is opened, the formaldehyde in the air will be blown away in a few minutes. Save money and hassle.
Whether it is formaldehyde absorbed by water, or formaldehyde blown away by ventilation, it is formaldehyde that has been floating in the air, and it cannot solve the problem of formaldehyde release from pollution sources.
