With the improvement of people's living standards, home decoration has become an indispensable part of modern life. However, formaldehyde pollution generated during the renovation process has become a problem for many people. This article will show you how to avoid formaldehyde pollution during the renovation process and make your new home healthier and safer.
First, choose environmentally friendly building materials.
Choose formaldehyde-free or low-formaldehyde boards: When purchasing furniture and decoration materials, try to choose formaldehyde-free or low-formaldehyde boards, such as E0 and E1 boards, which have low formaldehyde emissions and are less harmful to the human body.
Choose water-based paints: Compared with solvent-based paints, water-based paints have lower formaldehyde content and are more environmentally friendly. When decorating, you can choose water-based paints for wall and furniture painting.
Choose solid wood furniture: Solid wood furniture has a lower formaldehyde content than wood-based panel furniture. When buying furniture, you can choose solid wood furniture to guarantee the air quality of the home environment.
2. Reasonable construction.
Strictly control the amount of decoration materials: In the decoration process, the amount of various decoration materials should be reasonably controlled to avoid formaldehyde pollution caused by excessive decoration.
Keep indoor ventilation: During the decoration process, it is necessary to keep indoor ventilation to facilitate the volatilization of harmful substances such as formaldehyde. You can choose to decorate during the day and close the doors and windows at night to ensure indoor air quality.
Extend the drying time: After the decoration is completed, give the new home enough drying time to allow formaldehyde and other harmful substances to fully volatilize. Generally speaking, it takes at least 3 months for a new house to dry.
3. Post-governance.
Use activated carbon: Activated carbon has a strong adsorption capacity and can effectively adsorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde. After the renovation is completed, some activated carbon packets can be placed indoors to reduce the formaldehyde concentration.
Planting green plants: Some green plants have the effect of absorbing formaldehyde, such as pothos, spider plant, etc. Having these plants in your home can help purify the air and reduce formaldehyde concentrations.
Regularly test formaldehyde concentration: After moving into a new home, regularly check the indoor formaldehyde concentration to ensure the air quality of the home environment. If the formaldehyde concentration exceeds the standard, corresponding treatment measures should be taken in time.
