In home decoration, we often focus on aesthetics and experience, but one factor should always come first: environmental safety. The importance of a healthy living environment cannot be overstated, especially when it comes to harmful substances like formaldehyde.
Where exactly does formaldehyde come from? And what other chemicals can be dangerous to our health? Are the methods you're using to remove formaldehyde actually effective? Many people might not know the answers, or they might have only a vague understanding. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at these important issues.
**Is formaldehyde really that dangerous?**
Formaldehyde is extremely harmful to human health, particularly for families expecting a child. It’s one of the most dangerous pollutants in homes because it can interfere with fetal development, leading to serious issues like underdeveloped hearts or brains. Besides formaldehyde, other harmful substances such as benzene, toluene, and TVOC (total volatile organic compounds) also pose significant risks.
Formaldehyde is commonly found in particle boards, furniture finishes, and adhesives. Benzene is present in paints, leather products, and some furniture coatings. TVOCs are found in a variety of building materials, including certain types of wood used in home construction. For example, eucalyptus wood may contribute to higher levels of TVOCs.
According to national standards, safe levels of formaldehyde should not exceed 80 micrograms per cubic meter, while TVOC should stay below 500 micrograms. However, once the formaldehyde level reaches 50 micrograms, many people start to feel its effects.
**Common Methods for Removing Formaldehyde**
After discussing all these technical terms, the big question is: How can we effectively get rid of these harmful substances?
Many people try the following methods:
**Plants like Green Radish and Aloe Vera**
Some people believe that plants like green radish or aloe vera can absorb formaldehyde. I’ve seen neighbors fill their entire apartment with dozens of potted plants after renovation. But even then, staying in the house for a while can still make you feel uncomfortable. While plants do absorb some pollutants, their capacity is very limited. They typically handle only about one microgram of formaldehyde. If your indoor air has high levels of formaldehyde, you would need thousands of plants and constant light to make a real difference.
**Activated Carbon**
Activated carbon is a popular method for removing formaldehyde. It works by adsorbing pollutants through its porous structure. However, in most homes, activated carbon packets are placed in static areas. Without proper airflow, the absorption is limited. I've seen cases where activated carbon was used for a long time, but no noticeable improvement was observed.
**Photocatalysts**
Photocatalysts are another common solution, especially in some household products. However, many of them on the market are of questionable quality. The idea is that photocatalysts use ultraviolet light to break down formaldehyde into water and carbon dioxide. But in reality, most of these products are still in the lab testing stage and don’t work effectively in real-world conditions.
Additionally, photocatalysts require UV light to function, which means they’re not effective during the night or in low-light environments. So, despite their popularity, their practical effectiveness remains limited.
In conclusion, while there are many methods available, it's important to choose ones that are scientifically proven and suitable for your specific situation. Always prioritize safety and invest in reliable solutions for a healthier home.
