Does formaldehyde odorless mean no formaldehyde?
In recent years, due to China's increasing attention to the indoor environment, a large number of formaldehyde pollution problems have been caused. However, some people do not find any formaldehyde smell after decorating or buying new furniture, which makes them wonder: does no formaldehyde smell mean that there is none?
In order to answer this question, we must have a preliminary understanding of the properties of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a pungent odor, and its emissions depend on the amount of glue used in decorative materials and furniture. In a room, the amount of formaldehyde in the air decreases over time, but this process often lasts for a few months or more. Therefore, even if new or new furniture contains a lot of formaldehyde, it does not mean that we can smell it. In addition, many factors can have an impact on the formaldehyde content in a room. Indoor air circulation, temperature, humidity, etc. will have a certain impact on the formaldehyde content and emissions in indoor air. If the room does not have good air circulation, or the temperature and humidity are too high, it will lead to a large amount of formaldehyde emissions. Conversely, if there is better air circulation, or lower temperature and humidity, formaldehyde emissions can be reduced.
So, how can we tell if there is formaldehyde in a room? In fact, testing with specialized test equipment is the most accurate. There are many different types of formaldehyde detection equipment on the market that are capable of detecting the air in the air in the room. If you are worried that the air in your room contains a lot of formaldehyde, you can go to a specialized testing company to test it.
In summary, the absence of formaldehyde odor does not necessarily mean that there is none. Therefore, after interior decoration or the purchase of new furniture, it is necessary to minimize indoor formaldehyde emissions from the aspects of choosing environmentally friendly materials and strengthening ventilation. In addition, whether you want to do a professional formaldehyde test depends on your specific situation.
