The hazards of formaldehyde and how to remove it

It is well known that formaldehyde is harmful to the human body. Especially after the decoration of a new house, people will remove formaldehyde to prevent it from causing harm to the human body. So what are the harms of formaldehyde to the human body? What are the effective ways to remove all indoor formaldehyde?

The hazards of formaldehyde

1. Formaldehyde is a harmful gas that is harmful to the human body. People living in rooms with high formaldehyde concentrations will induce allergic rhinitis and tracheitis and cause asthma, which can endanger people's lives in the most serious cases. In addition, formaldehyde gas has obvious irritation to human eyes and respiratory tract, which can reduce the function of these organs and cause them to develop pathological changes.

2. When the human body absorbs too much formaldehyde, it will cause oxidative damage to the body, causing lesions and functional degeneration of internal organs such as the liver, myocardium and lungs. In addition, it also has a significant damaging effect on the human nervous center, causing people to suffer from insomnia and lack of concentration, as well as neurasthenia and memory loss and other adverse symptoms. In severe cases, it can induce leukemia.

How to remove formaldehyde

1. Ventilation is the best way to effectively remove formaldehyde, and it has low economic cost and good effect. Usually, after decorating a new home, people can open all the windows in the new home to allow indoor air to circulate, which is conducive to the discharge of indoor formaldehyde. However, the windows cannot be opened for a long time. They should be closed for a while, then opened and closed again, otherwise the effect of removing formaldehyde will not be good.

2. Growing green plants indoors is also the best way to remove formaldehyde. Common plants in life, such as cacti, spider plants and ivy, have a significant adsorption effect on formaldehyde in the air, which can convert them into oxygen and release them into the air, which can reduce the harm of indoor formaldehyde to the human body. In addition to these methods, placing some activated carbon indoors can also remove indoor formaldehyde, making the indoor air fresher and purer.
