Introduction to Formaldehyde

Solution:

1. The national standard "Health Standards for Formaldehyde in Residential Air" states that the maximum permissible concentration of formaldehyde in residential air is 0.08 mg/m3 (0.08mg/m3)

2. Formaldehyde is a chemical with an irritating smell, and when formaldehyde in indoor air reaches 0.1 (mg/m3), people will feel the odour and discomfort.

3. The magnitude of formaldehyde concentration in indoor air is related to the following four factors.

①Indoor temperature.

② the relative indoor humidity.

③ The loading of indoor materials (i.e. the surface area of formaldehyde emitting materials per cubic metre of indoor space).

④ The amount of indoor air circulation.

 

Note:

1. Formaldehyde emission is exacerbated by high temperature, high humidity, negative pressure and high loading conditions. Normally, formaldehyde can be released for as long as 3 to 10 years.

2. Common removal methods.

①Ventilation.

②Physical adsorption.

③Traditional method.
