In recent years, the frequent outbreaks of poisoning incidents caused by excessive formaldehyde have made us feel the "power" of formaldehyde, and formaldehyde has been widely used in all walks of life due to its simple production process and sufficient raw materials, especially in our home space, and has become a gathering place for formaldehyde release sources. Once in the environment of excessive formaldehyde for a long time, formaldehyde will also destroy various functions of our body and the immune system, thereby inducing various diseases, even leukemia and cancer.
Of course, in the face of formaldehyde, we can't sit still, but often due to the lack of awareness of formaldehyde, we use some wrong ways to remove formaldehyde. Once the wrong way to remove formaldehyde is used, not only can it not have the effect of removing formaldehyde, but it will even make us relax our vigilance against formaldehyde, and there will be endless disasters. Here are some typical ways to remove formaldehyde by mistake.
Formaldehyde removal from onion and grapefruit peel: why do people have a strong and almost irreversible sense of identity with this method? The reason is simple. The taste of grapefruit peel and onion itself is so "rich" that it can confuse the taste of indoor pollutants and give us the illusion that the pollutants are gone.
Put a basin of water to remove formaldehyde: this is the use of formaldehyde dissolved in water characteristics, looking very credible, but if you start from the actual situation, let alone a basin of water, even if you put three or five basins, but the contact area between these stationary water and formaldehyde is very small, and the actual operation of formaldehyde adsorption is very small, so using water to remove formaldehyde is actually a misuse of the concept.
Use high-temperature fumigation to remove formaldehyde: the release of formaldehyde increases with the increase of temperature, so this method can indeed increase the amount of formaldehyde released indoors. However, formaldehyde is still in the indoor space, and if there is no other treatment measure, this move undoubtedly increases the excess rate of formaldehyde, which is obviously an extremely unreliable way.
Indoor environmental protection experts said that because the volatilization period of formaldehyde is as long as 3-15 years, and it is easy to exceed the standard repeatedly. Therefore, the correct formaldehyde treatment must be sustainable. For example, the German Seiko Neusenberg air purifier has developed a purification method of adsorption + decomposition for formaldehyde, which can not only quickly adsorb formaldehyde, but also decompose formaldehyde into carbon dioxide and water, so as to continuously reduce formaldehyde concentration and ensure our healthy breathing.
