Stay away from formaldehyde in summer and start with a piece of healthy and environmentally friendly board!

When it comes to formaldehyde, everyone is familiar with it. According to the results of random inspections of air quality in newly built houses in my country, the average formaldehyde exceeding standard rate is 70% to 80%. This figure is not alarming. There are also waves of fatal cases due to formaldehyde exceeding the standard, especially in summer, when indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene are much higher than in other seasons.

What is formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde, also known as formic aldehyde, is colorless and irritating to the eyes and nose. It is a volatile gas at room temperature. Formaldehyde has a wide range of uses, including in the production of industrial resins, coatings, and artificial board materials.

What harm does excessive formaldehyde do to health?

Formaldehyde is colorless, but it can irritate people's eyes and respiratory mucosa, causing various symptoms such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, rhinitis, bronchitis, and can also induce asthma.

If formaldehyde comes into direct contact with the skin, it may cause an allergic reaction. Formaldehyde is even more harmful to pregnant women and may cause miscarriage and fetal malformation.

Excessive levels of organic pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene can not only lead to nasal cancer and sinus cancer, but may also cause leukemia.

What are some good ways to remove formaldehyde?

1. Open windows for ventilation

Clear, fresh air is an effective way to control formaldehyde. On sunny days, open doors and windows more often to allow air to circulate indoors, reducing the concentration of toxic and harmful gases. However, because harmful substances like formaldehyde and benzene have a long release period, opening windows for ventilation may not truly solve the problem for tenants eager to move into newly renovated homes.

2. Place green plants

According to popular rankings of plants' ability to remove formaldehyde, the most commonly heard are pothos, tiger lily, monstera, and onion. Once formaldehyde enters a plant, it participates in its metabolism, converting the toxic formaldehyde into non-toxic carbon dioxide, water, and organic matter. However, if the formaldehyde concentration is too high or the release is prolonged, exceeding the plant's metabolic capacity, these plants can also die from formaldehyde poisoning.

3. Choose healthy and environmentally friendly boards

In home decoration, directly choosing to buy healthy ecological and environmentally friendly boards can eliminate the harm of formaldehyde from the source and ensure the health and safety of home life. To stay away from formaldehyde in summer, it is a good idea to start by choosing a healthy and environmentally friendly board. Healthy boards focus on environmental protection and reject formaldehyde in all aspects.

The plant protein glue used in healthy boards is made from natural plants as the main raw material and does not contain toxic substances. It guarantees the environmental quality of the boards from the source and ensures that each board can meet the EO-level environmental protection standards, creating a non-toxic and harmless healthy home environment for you. It is the first choice for your healthy life.
