How to deal with formaldehyde First understand the issue of formaldehyde release cycle. Is it true that there is a saying on the Internet that "the formaldehyde release cycle lasts for 3-15 years"? Do new houses really have to be kept for 3 years? In fact, this is not the case. Specific issues need to be analyzed in detail. Generally speaking, the larger the volatilization area, the faster the volatilization rate; the higher the temperature, the faster the volatilization rate. So like most decoration materials, if the windows are opened for ventilation in summer, 3 months is enough to evaporate most of the formaldehyde. There are also some cabinets with better edge sealing treatment. Formaldehyde is sealed inside the board and is extremely difficult to volatilize into the air, so it volatilizes very slowly, which may take 15 years. But this kind of board is very good because its volatile concentration is extremely low, lower than the formaldehyde concentration in tap water, so it is basically harmless to humans. How to deal with residual formaldehyde in the room? Let me talk about the conclusion first. There is only one reliable method: open the windows for ventilation! And it’s great for ventilation when the temperature is high in summer! If the temperature is not high enough, the ventilation time must be extended. Effective method to remove formaldehyde: After the decoration is completed, buy some formaldehyde detection reagents, which are very cheap. Several boxes cost more than ten yuan, and place detection boxes in each room to test. Before testing, read the test step instructions in detail, and follow each step according to the guide to avoid excessive deviation in the test results. In order to ensure that the monitoring results are true and reliable, wait two or three days and then test again. If the test results of these points are good and close to the national standard value, then there is no problem. If you open the windows for ventilation for three months and then test again and there is no problem, then rest assured. If the test results exceed the national standard, but not by much, then there is no big problem. You can open the windows for longer ventilation to enhance air convection. Test once a month until it drops below the national standard. Usually half a year is enough. If it exceeds a lot, don’t worry. Carry out investigation to see which materials release too much formaldehyde and conduct investigation. After identifying the suspect, ask a professional testing agency (never look for one that can both test and manage) to conduct a test and issue a professional test report. Then go to the manufacturer with the test report to claim compensation and replace it; if it is a decoration For materials, go to a decoration company. What should I do if I have difficulty safeguarding my rights, or if the formaldehyde content is relatively high, and I don’t have time to ventilate the property and need to move in immediately? You can seek help from a professional formaldehyde control agency. Be careful to identify some unreliable fake management. There are some methods for formaldehyde control, such as using ammonia to quickly neutralize formaldehyde in the air. The disadvantage is that the pungent smell of ammonia is stronger than formaldehyde, and people cannot stay there. And even if the formaldehyde in the air is neutralized, it will continue to evaporate from the material. There are also photocatalysts, oxidation reactions, etc. In short, it is not recommended to DIY it yourself, it is more reliable to find a professional agency to handle it. Misunderstandings about how to remove formaldehyde: Are there so many formaldehyde treatment methods circulating on the Internet effective? What orange peel and grapefruit peel? Activated carbon adsorption? Plant adsorption? Put a basin of water? Are there still some messy earthworks? Is it effective or not? Answer: None of them are useful. Adsorption treatment methods can adsorb a little formaldehyde in the air, but once it is full, it will no longer adsorb formaldehyde and cannot continue to adsorb formaldehyde. Unless the adsorbent is replaced every day (the cost is too high). Moreover, the treatment effect of adsorption is far inferior to that of ventilation, so it can be considered a waste of money. As for plants, according to research, only a few plants have the ability to survive under high concentrations of formaldehyde, such as spider plants. It itself has a certain absorption effect. But if you want to rely on spider plants to remove formaldehyde, I'm afraid it may not be enough to hang them all over the house. Compared with ventilation, the effect is too poor and it is a waste of money. These plants look very nice, but it is too difficult to expect them to remove formaldehyde. It is low cost to put a basin of water, but its absorption capacity is too low, which is far inferior to ventilation, and it is not enough trouble. Let’s not talk about the messy earth work. It is useless and waste of money. Is the formaldehyde detector sold on Taobao useful ? Is it reliable? Answer: There are thousands of real portable formaldehyde detectors, and they need to be maintained, zeroed, and parts replaced every day just like the above-mentioned ones. It is not necessary for ordinary people to use them. You really don’t have enough money to buy it, but you don’t necessarily know how to use it. There are places for renting this kind of equipment on Taobao. Students with strong hands-on skills can rent a set and try it out. As for those detectors that cost tens or hundreds of dollars, they are all nonsense and useless. Regardless of how accurate and accurate the comments are, they are all fake or deceived. Looking at such huge sales, it’s really scary. Posting a test article on a nutshell, I hope you won’t be fooled again.
