Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a common and persistent presence in our lives, especially in newly renovated rooms. It is a colorless gas with an irritant odor and strong volatility.
The primary source of formaldehyde in new spaces is often wood furniture and flooring, as the manufacturing process of these products often involves glue made from formaldehyde.
Unfortunately, formaldehyde is recognized as a first-class carcinogen, with a release cycle that lasts up to 15 years. The market offers various methods for removing formaldehyde, but many are not effective because they do not address the source of the problem and may even cause secondary pollution.
Formaldehyde can irritate the eyes and respiratory system, leading to symptoms such as tearing, sore throat, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Asthma can also be induced by exposure to formaldehyde.
To combat formaldehyde, air purifiers can be effective when the room is airtight. If ventilation is possible, it can also help remove formaldehyde. BAZONA, an environmental purification material, is highly respected among engineers for its fast adsorption and purification speed, as well as its ability to decompose formaldehyde.
Furniture is another major source of pollution in decorated spaces, but using a natural decomposition medium for furniture panel spraying can help purify the interior of the furniture. Regularly wiping wooden furniture and flooring with salt water can also help remove surface pollutants and reduce odor.
Photocatalysts are another option for removing formaldehyde. They use light to produce a photocatalytic reaction, which creates strong oxidation capacity and active oxygen.
Photocatalysts can oxidize and decompose various organic compounds and inorganic substances, and they have strong sterilization, deodorization, and air purification capabilities. Photocatalysts break down organic pollutants into non-polluting water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and other harmless substances.
