Decoration pollution has been bothering us in recent years. The death toll caused by indoor environmental pollution in China is up to 11000 every year. Indoor environmental pollution has become one of the killers that seriously affect modern human health. The researchers used real-time online monitor to test the formaldehyde absorption of 24 common plants, such as Chlorophytum and aloe, in the artificial simulation room. The results showed that the most able to absorb formaldehyde is not our common aloe, but the following plants!

Turtle bamboo

Turtle Back Bamboo

It can not only absorb carbon dioxide at night, prepare for photosynthesis the next day, but also absorb some harmful gases such as formaldehyde, TVOC and benzene. Basically, a Swiss cheese plant and 10g coconut vitamin carbon absorb about the same amount of formaldehyde. It can really achieve the effect of purifying indoor air

Happiness tree potted plants can remove indoor odor, also can absorb formaldehyde, benzene and other decoration pollution, at the same time can also absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen at night, increase the content of negative ions in the air, improve air humidity.

Precautions

Although said so many, but the plant in the process of removing formaldehyde is the most auxiliary role, the most important means is to let formaldehyde volatilize.

1. Open all the drawers, cabinets, wardrobes, etc. in the house, open the opposite windows of the house, and strengthen the air circulation.

2. Use high temperature to accelerate formaldehyde emission. The house that decorates newly had better be able to live after summer, because high temperature can promote formaldehyde volatilization..

3. Use the activated carbon, put the activated carbon in the corner of the room with strong temperature, which can absorb formaldehyde, but the activated carbon should be replaced regularly. If the waste gas is generally treated, it should be replaced once every three months.

4. When decorating, try to choose the material with less formaldehyde emission, and put an end to it from the root!
