Take stock of common misunderstandings in daily life except formaldehyde. Are you still being tricked?

New house decoration will inevitably produce formaldehyde, as a risk factor endangering our health, we will try our best to remove formaldehyde, businesses will also use this psychology to carry out some sales, but which is the misunderstanding of formaldehyde? Are we being fooled by the merchants? Let the editor show you!

Violence reminder 1: recognize the nature of commercial propaganda

At present, a wide variety of formaldehyde removal products are dazzling. Some are physical action to remove formaldehyde, some are chemical action to remove formaldehyde. However, experts on indoor decoration and indoor air monitoring pointed out that formaldehyde scavengers can only temporarily close pollution sources, prevent formaldehyde volatilization in a short period of time, and can not completely remove formaldehyde pollution. Because formaldehyde pollution is persistent, usually lasting for 10 to 15 years, if the product is said to be eradicated at one time or completely, it is almost impossible unless formaldehyde itself has evaporated. Some spray formaldehyde scavengers are very convenient to use, although they temporarily eliminate the smell in the air, but they only form a protective film on the outer layer of the pollution source, and the source of formaldehyde volatilization has not been solved. Formaldehyde will still be released to pollute the indoor air. Some formaldehyde scavengers say they can react with formaldehyde, but if formaldehyde scavengers react incompletely with formaldehyde, other toxic substances may be produced to cause secondary pollution. So far, the country has not established the quality standards and effect monitoring of formaldehyde removal products, and indoor environment monitoring experts suggest that there is no product that can completely solve the pollution of indoor formaldehyde, so the exaggerated propaganda of businesses can not be trusted.

Violence reminder 2: plant elimination (useful only for minor pollution)

Flowers such as hanging orchid, aloe and tiger tail orchid are used to absorb indoor pollution gas, but plants carry out photosynthesis to absorb carbon dioxide during the day, release oxygen, absorb oxygen at night, and release carbon dioxide, which is disadvantageous to the human body, especially for those who are allergic to pollen and flowers, the efficacy of plants to remove harmful gases is very limited, at best, it can only be used as an auxiliary means of indoor environmental treatment. To be more specific, only when the indoor air is slightly polluted, can plants play a small role in removing odors. When indoor air pollution is serious, plants are powerless, and even plants themselves will be killed by harmful gases. What's more, even if plants are absorbing harmful gases, aren't people absorbing harmful gases at the same time?. Therefore, people should not leave the task of controlling harmful gases entirely to plants.

With regard to the removal of formaldehyde, we can not be fooled by businessmen. In fact, the best way is to often open windows for ventilation, but also with the help of some auxiliary means such as placing water basins, activated carbon, air purifiers, plants and other ways at the same time.
