Formaldehyde is a colorless, pungent odorous gas and is one of the most common pollutants in indoor air. Its release period is as long as 3 to 15 years, it can be absorbed through the respiratory tract, and has strong stimulation and damage to the human nervous system and immune system. The main function of disinfectant is sterilization and disinfection, and the removal effect of formaldehyde is not obvious.
First of all, we need to understand the ** of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is mainly found in furniture manufacturing, leather manufacturing, paint painting and other industries. In the home environment, common sources of formaldehyde pollution mainly come from wooden furniture, flooring, curtains and other materials.
Secondly, we will discuss the relationship between disinfectant and formaldehyde. The main ingredient of the disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite, which can react with carbon dioxide in the air to produce hypochlorous acid, which has strong oxidizing properties and can kill bacteria and other microorganisms. However, for formaldehyde, an organic substance, the disinfectant has no obvious removal effect. In addition, if the concentration of the disinfectant solution is too high, it may even be toxic to human and animal cells.
So, can we remove formaldehyde in some simple ways? First of all, opening windows for ventilation is one of the most effective methods. By increasing air circulation, indoor formaldehyde concentration can be effectively reduced. Secondly, activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity and can adsorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde in the air. In addition, plants are also a commonly used formaldehyde removal method, and some plants such as spider plants and pothos have a certain absorption capacity for harmful substances such as formaldehyde.
In short, for formaldehyde pollution in the house, we can't hope for disinfectant. On the contrary, methods such as window ventilation, activated carbon adsorption, and plant absorption are more practical and effective. Of course, if you are particularly sensitive to formaldehyde pollution or the degree of pollution is very serious, it is recommended to seek the help of a professional environmental protection company for scientific and effective treatment.
