How to avoid the harm of formaldehyde?

Many newly renovated houses have an unpleasant smell, which includes formaldehyde. Everyone should know that formaldehyde is very harmful to the human body. If formaldehyde is inhaled for a long time, it may cause cancer. Therefore, we must pay more attention and caution to the protection against formaldehyde. In fact, formaldehyde is not only contained in paint, but also in some paper products, cleaning supplies, cosmetics, etc. in our homes.

It can be seen that formaldehyde can be found everywhere around us. If we do not take protective measures, we may inhale too much formaldehyde gas. And it is also very disadvantageous if there are babies in the family. Here we recommend some ways to avoid the hazards of formaldehyde.

1. Ventilation method

Through the circulation of indoor air, the content of harmful substances in the indoor air can be reduced, thereby reducing the harm of such substances to the human body. In winter, people often close doors and windows, and the air cannot circulate between indoor and outdoor spaces. Not only will the formaldehyde content in the indoor air increase, but radon gas will also continue to accumulate and even reach a very high concentration.

2. Plant deodorization method

Plant decontamination can be chosen for low-level pollution: Generally, plants can be used for purification of light indoor environmental pollution. Choose and place plants according to the different functions and size of the room.

3. Bamboo charcoal adsorption method

Bamboo charcoal is recognized as an expert in absorbing drugs, and it is used in activated carbon masks and gas masks. The adsorption capacity of bamboo charcoal is 2-3 times stronger than that of ordinary charcoal. Due to its low price, it is also a commonly used material for removing decoration pollution in citizens' homes. Bamboo charcoal actually adsorbs formaldehyde rather than absorbs it. Due to the fragility of this adsorption, when the adsorption reaches the saturation value, formaldehyde may be released again. You can leave the bamboo charcoal bag for two or three days, then put it in the sun to dry, and then use it again.

How to avoid the harm of formaldehyde? The above methods are relatively simple and easy to learn, and the prices are not high. To remove formaldehyde, it is best to ventilate the room frequently, which is conducive to air circulation and also discharges waste gas and toxic gases in the room.
