Does green radish absorb formaldehyde?

Can I inhale?

It is undeniable that it can absorb formaldehyde to a certain extent.

1. On the one hand, it can use formaldehyde as raw material for photosynthesis to produce the nutrients it needs.

2. On the other hand, its leaf surface also has a certain adsorption, which can adsorb some formaldehyde molecules in the air.

Therefore, it does have some role in absorbing formaldehyde, but this effect is not strong, it is generally only an auxiliary means to formaldehyde.

Second, why not be strong

1. We mentioned its principle of purifying formaldehyde above, from which we can imagine that its effect is actually very limited. On the one hand, although formaldehyde can also be used as a raw material for photosynthesis, its main raw material is still CO2, and the amount of formaldehyde consumed in this way is actually very limited. Second, the leaf area of a plant is also limited, unless you make your home the same as the ancient jungle. Let it cover the whole house, otherwise the amount of formaldehyde it can absorb is limited.

2, however, although it does not play a great role in removing formaldehyde, it also plays a certain role. We can keep it at home to help us purify formaldehyde, but it can not be regarded as the main means to purify formaldehyde.

Third, how to remove formaldehyde

1. Many flower friends may be in trouble again, so how do we remove formaldehyde? Here the editor recommends that we use the method of opening windows for ventilation. It can be said that all other methods are out of the way, and timely opening the window for breath is the king. Because compared with the outside world, the concentration of formaldehyde in the house is relatively high, after opening the window, they will gradually spread and flow out of the house.

2. However, using this method, some formaldehyde will remain in the house, so we can raise some plants such as green radish and ivy in the house to assist absorption.
