Formaldehyde is a common indoor air pollutant after the renovation of a new house, and long-term exposure to high concentrations of formaldehyde can cause serious effects on human health. Here are some ways to remove formaldehyde from your new home:
1.Ventilation: Opening windows to allow air circulation can effectively reduce indoor formaldehyde concentrations.
2.Plant absorption: Some houseplants, such as spider plant, aloe vera, tiger tail orchid, etc., have the effect of absorbing formaldehyde, and some plants can be placed indoors to absorb formaldehyde.
3.Activated carbon adsorption: Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity, which can adsorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde in the room, and some activated carbon can be placed indoors to adsorb formaldehyde.
4.Decomposition: Photocatalysts can use energy such as ultraviolet rays to decompose harmful gases such as formaldehyde into harmless water and carbon dioxide, and photocatalysts can be installed indoors to decompose formaldehyde.
5.Formaldehyde scavengers: There are some cleaners on the market that specialize in removing formaldehyde, and some effective formaldehyde scavengers can be selected to remove formaldehyde indoors.
It should be noted that the above methods can help reduce indoor formaldehyde concentration, but can not completely remove formaldehyde, so after the decoration of the new house, it is recommended to maintain indoor ventilation and try to avoid the use of decoration materials containing formaldehyde to ensure indoor air quality and human health.
