Under what circumstances is formaldehyde easy to exceed?
The reason why this problem is first mentioned is because many people have certain misunderstandings in related cognition, and the vast majority of people believe that the problem of excessive formaldehyde will only occur after new decoration.
In fact, even if the house is not decorated, there may still be excessive formaldehyde, such as new placement or replacement of furniture, tatami mats, bookshelves, carpets, etc., these situations may have excessive formaldehyde. Because these newly installed items have a large area and contain more formaldehyde, it is particularly easy to lead to the problem of excessive formaldehyde.
What is the impact of excessive formaldehyde on us?
There is also a misunderstanding on this issue, many people think that excessive formaldehyde is relatively slight and will not have any impact on our health.
In real life, if the formaldehyde exceeds the standard is not particularly serious, it will not have much impact on adult health in a short time, but the health impact on infants and young children is particularly significant, and it is likely to be fatal.
In recent years, cases of cancer and leukemia in infants and young children are not uncommon in major media, and the annual growth trend is particularly obvious.
In 2017, the World Health Organization clearly included formaldehyde in the list of a class of carcinogens, it is no exaggeration to say that formaldehyde has become one of the important threats to the healthy life of modern people, for the healthy growth of children, but also for the healthy life of the family, everyone should pay attention to it.
Where does formaldehyde come from?
Formaldehyde in the air mainly exists in a free state, and it comes from the release source, affected by temperature, light and other factors, the release source will continue to release formaldehyde into the air, when the release speed is too fast, the release amount is too large, it will lead to the problem of excessive formaldehyde.
Below, let's talk about several common release sources in life, whether it is decoration or new addition, we must pay attention to formaldehyde safety issues.
1. Latex paint, wallpaper and other decoration materials
Formaldehyde content: ★★★★
Release period: 3 to 5 years
2. Furniture plates (including but not limited to furniture, beds, cabinets, bookshelves, desks, etc.)
Formaldehyde content: ★★★★★
Release period: 7 to 15 years
3. Laminate flooring
Formaldehyde content: ★★★★
Release period: 5 to 7 years
4. Crawling pad
Formaldehyde content: ★★★★
Release period: 1 to 2 years
Because the above-mentioned objects are particularly large in area and contain more formaldehyde, sometimes only one type of addition may lead to excessive indoor formaldehyde, not to mention the comprehensive addition of decoration.
Is the online formaldehyde removal method reliable?
There are a lot of local methods on formaldehyde treatment on the Internet, such as placing green plants indoors, or putting fruit peels, etc., here to remind everyone that if you simply use these methods to remove formaldehyde for new houses, you can't solve any problems.
First of all, green plants in addition to formaldehyde, such as pothos, spider plant, monstera, etc., these green plants have a certain ability to adsorb formaldehyde, but the adsorption effect is minimal, in practical application, even if dozens of pots are placed in the room, the formaldehyde concentration will not be significantly reduced because of it.
Next, let's talk about fruit peels, such as pineapples, banana peels, orange peels, tea stems, onions, etc., the reason why the smell of these items in the room will disappear is mainly because these things have a larger smell and are easy to cover up the smell of formaldehyde, but in fact, the concentration and harm of formaldehyde have not been reduced in the slightest.
Therefore, we must avoid these pits when removing formaldehyde, so as not to waste time and money, and more importantly, not solve any problems.
In fact, formaldehyde treatment is very simple, and finally I will share with you the specific operation:
1. Open windows for ventilation
Open the window for ventilation for 8 to 10 hours during the day every day, if the indoor air circulation is poor, you can use a large fan to blow against the window, which can reduce the concentration of formaldehyde in the indoor air, and also promote the release of release sources.
2. Heating and humidification
At night, put a basin of water in each room, you can also put an air humidifier, or you can set the air conditioner to 26 °C, but you should remind everyone that the humidity should not be too high, 65%, so as not to damage the decoration and plates.
3, Activated carbon
Small spaces can be used to remove formaldehyde with activated carbon, such as wardrobes, shoe cabinets, bed cabinets, bedside tables, etc., you can put a few packs of activated carbon inside, but you should be reminded that you must replace it regularly, once a week.
4. Yiya formaldehyde deep scavenger
Every 2 to 3 days, all rooms are sprayed once, sprayed 3 to 4 times in a row, and the concentration value of formaldehyde, benzene, TVOC and other harmful substances in the new house can be lower than the national safety value, and the whole process is about 20 to 30 days. Remind everyone that furniture, curtains, soft bags and other places should be sprayed, and do not leave dead corners, which can improve the efficiency and effect of de-rights.
In addition, such as Olvwei formaldehyde deep scavenger, etc., are similar products, the effect is almost the same, you can choose independently. They are all new photocatalyst sprays, which can quickly penetrate into the release sources such as plates and decoration materials, and independently capture and decompose harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene, TVOC, etc., and its decomposition products are water and carbon dioxide, with high aldehyde removal rate and simple operation, and there is no need to worry about secondary pollution.
Finally, I would like to remind you again that formaldehyde is extremely harmful to human health, and it is recommended that all friends do a good job in formaldehyde treatment measures, even if it is an old house that has lived for many years, to escort the healthy growth of children.
