Can grapefruit peel remove formaldehyde?

With the improvement of living standards, people are more and more concerned about the living environment around them, fearing that environmental pollution will cause harm to their bodies. Many families who are renovating their homes are afraid to move into their new homes too early because of formaldehyde. Some people have seen many methods on the Internet that are said to be able to remove formaldehyde. Among them, it is said that some fruits can also remove formaldehyde. Can grapefruit peel remove formaldehyde? Let's find out together.

1: Remove formaldehyde from grapefruit peel and other fruits and vegetables

In addition to grapefruit peels, there are also orange peels, onions, etc., all of which use their own special smells to cover up the odor of decoration, making us mistakenly believe that there is no pollution in the home. If we really move in, the consequences will be very serious.

2: Put a few basins of water to remove formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is indeed soluble in water, but in our real life, putting a few basins of water at home actually has very little effect. Moreover, formaldehyde is released continuously for a long time, so it is even more unrealistic to use water to control formaldehyde.

3: Burn candles to remove formaldehyde

Even if burning candles can convert formaldehyde into other substances, this method is even more undesirable. Burning candles will produce a large amount of carbon black and carbon monoxide, which will aggravate air pollution, and it is also dangerous if not supervised.

4: Activated carbon - adsorption

Activated carbon is a common formaldehyde adsorption material. It uses its own pores to adsorb formaldehyde. Generally, activated carbon with a higher iodine value has slightly better adsorption properties. In addition, when used to remove formaldehyde indoors, pay attention to the saturation period of activated carbon and replace it in time after saturation, otherwise it will cause formaldehyde rebound. It is generally recommended to replace it once a month in a new house.

5: Guanting Crystal - Adsorption and Decomposition

Guanting Crystal is an emerging composite mineral formaldehyde removal material that can simultaneously adsorb and decompose common indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde. Its pores are small and uniform, and its adsorption capacity is stronger. In addition to its decomposition function, Guanting Crystal will not be saturated with adsorption and can be recycled. It can continuously adsorb and decompose indoor harmful pollutants for a long time, and the purification period is more than 3 years.

6: Large-leaf green plants - adsorption and degradation

Many plants also have the ability to adsorb and degrade formaldehyde. They mainly absorb some formaldehyde through plant respiration and then degrade the formaldehyde through plant biological metabolism. Generally speaking, there are no more than 10 pots of plants in a home, so compared with formaldehyde pollution, the purification efficiency is very low, so it cannot be used as the main method of removing formaldehyde.
