Tips for removing household formadehyde

Ready to deal with the "invisible killer" after household renovation?

How to solve household formaldehyde problems?

Recently, with the rising demand for new home renovations, the issue of "formaldehyde" has garnered public attention. Many homeowners who have just moved into new residences are unknowingly exposed to the threat of this toxic gas, posing significant risks to their physical and mental health. This is particularly concerning for newborns, the elderly, and asthma patients, who need to be especially cautious.

What is Formaldehyde?

Formaldehyde is a common organic compound with a very simple molecular structure, consisting of one carbon atom connected to two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. It is a colorless, volatile gas with a pungent odor.

Formaldehyde is widely present in daily life, typically found in various wooden furniture, flooring, paints, and other building materials. In enclosed indoor environments, these materials continuously emit formaldehyde, contaminating indoor air and endangering human health.

Does Formaldehyde Only Occur in New Furniture?

No, because wooden furniture inherently contains some formaldehyde. Over time, this formaldehyde slowly seeps out and contaminates indoor air. This is especially true for older furniture, as the aging materials tend to release formaldehyde more rapidly.

Additionally, poorly maintained or repaired old furniture may also lead to increased formaldehyde levels. For example, using paints containing formaldehyde for refurbishing or allowing dust to accumulate can accelerate the spread of formaldehyde.

Why is Formaldehyde Harmful to Humans?

Long-term exposure to high concentrations of formaldehyde poses serious health threats. Formaldehyde is highly irritating and can stimulate the eyes, nose, and respiratory tract, leading to symptoms such as headaches and nausea. It can even cause liver and kidney function impairment. Pregnant women and children face even greater risks, as it may affect fetal development and children's cognitive growth.

More seriously, formaldehyde has been classified as a possible carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to high concentrations of formaldehyde increases cancer risk, particularly nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia.

How to Tackle Formadehyde?

An effective air purifier can continuously filter the air in your home and remove formaldehyde. The Philips Air Purifier 900 Series AC0917/00 can eliminate up to 99%* of formaldehyde, with a formaldehyde clean air delivery rate (FCADR) of up to 170 m³/hour.

Its amino-modified activated carbon formula effectively eliminates formaldehyde. Once activated carbon adsorbs formaldehyde, the amino groups on the carbon quickly react with the formaldehyde, converting it into harmless substances for the human body, thus rapidly and persistently eliminating formaldehyde.

Ready for your formaldehyde air purifier?

The device utilizes powerful 3D circulation airflow to achieve fast and efficient air purification, while the nano-grade NanoProtect Integrated Active Carbon Formaldehyde HEPA Filter providing three layers of filtration, can effectively filter:

1. Pre-filter to block larger particles, such as household dust and pet hair.

2. Active carbon formaldehyde filter to remove harmful gases, such as formaldehyde and total volatile organic compounds (TVOC).

3. Nano-grade Nano Protect HEPA filter uses electrostatic charges to attract and capture pollutants, effectively removing 99.97% of ultra-fine particles as small as 0.003 microns#, filtering viruses, bacteria, and allergens from the air effectively.
