Planting this kind of flowers at home can filter the waste gas, absorb formaldehyde and purify the air.

Everyone who has decorated the house must have "struggled" with formaldehyde. Why is formaldehyde so terrible? Formaldehyde is a highly toxic substance, which ranks second on the priority control list of toxic chemicals in China. Formaldehyde has been identified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogenic and malformed substance, is a recognized source of allergy, but also one of the potential strong mutagens. The main effects of formaldehyde on human health are abnormal sense of smell, stimulation, allergy, abnormal lung function, abnormal liver function, abnormal immune function and so on.

After confirming the "damage" of formaldehyde, let's take a look at the following 10 kinds of plants that can effectively absorb or decompose formaldehyde and purify the air. Cymbidium is the "king of formaldehyde removal" in plants, also known as "air guard". It can carry out photosynthesis in weak light, absorb toxic and harmful gases in the air, and absorb formaldehyde, styrene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other carcinogens in the air at the same time.

Aloe vera is not only good at absorbing formaldehyde, but also has strong medicinal value, such as sterilization and cosmetic effect. At present, many potted varieties have been developed, which have a strong ornamental property and can be used to decorate the house. Ivy can effectively remove formaldehyde and benzene. Can break down two harmful substances, namely formaldehyde in carpets, insulating materials, plywood and xylene, which is harmful to the kidneys hidden in wallpaper.

Duck foot wood can reduce the concentration of formaldehyde by about 9 milligrams per hour. Its leaves can also absorb nicotine and other harmful substances from the smoky air. The disease is converted into harmless plant-owned substances through photosynthesis. White crane taro can filter indoor exhaust gas and is effective against ammonia, acetone, benzene and formaldehyde. White crane taro cultivated with water root can adjust indoor temperature and humidity through evapotranspiration, and can effectively purify volatile organic compounds in the air, such as alcohol, acetone, trichloroethylene, benzene, toluene, chlorine monoxide, ozone and so on.

Pocket coconut can purify benzene, trichloroethylene and formaldehyde in the air at the same time, so it is a "high efficiency air purifier" in plants. It is very suitable for indoor or newly decorated rooms. Fulang Flower, also known as African chrysanthemum, has a large diameter, rich colors and often blooms throughout the year. Like warm, sunny and well-ventilated environment, is a semi-cold-resistant flowers, like fertile, loose, humus-rich sandy loam. This kind of plant is not only good at absorbing formaldehyde, but also has a strong ornamental, and many varieties can be used for cut flowers.

Tiger tail orchid plays a good role in purifying the air. The study shows that tiger tail orchid can absorb some harmful gases in the room, and can effectively remove harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide, chlorine, ether, ethylene, carbon monoxide and nitrogen peroxide, and has a strong ability to absorb formaldehyde. Tortoise back bamboo has the characteristics of preferential adsorption of formaldehyde, benzene, TVOC and other harmful gases, to achieve the effect of purifying indoor air, but also the effect of absorbing carbon dioxide at night, which is of great help to improve indoor air quality and increase oxygen content, so it is an ideal indoor plant.
