Why is summer the golden time for formaldehyde treatment
Formaldehyde treatment is the first big problem we encounter after decoration. No matter when you finish the decoration, there will be formaldehyde exceeding the standard, which needs to be treated. But in hot summer, the risk of formaldehyde exceeding the standard in our old house will also be greatly increased, and it may also need to be treated. What is the matter? Let's have a look.
The emission rate of formaldehyde has a great relationship with temperature. Because it is a gas, the higher the temperature is, the faster the formaldehyde will be released, and the faster it will spread indoors. Therefore, the summer with higher temperature is the season of high incidence of formaldehyde pollution. In addition, this is also the same for other indoor air pollution gases. However, we can also use this to accelerate the emission of indoor air pollution by raising the temperature, promote its release, and then remove it together.
Formaldehyde is also a kind of gas that is easily soluble in water when it is greatly affected by temperature, mainly because it contains hydroxyl and has a great affinity for who. Formaldehyde molecules on the surface of furniture are easily absorbed by water molecules in the air and separated. Therefore, when the air humidity is high in summer, it is easy to have more formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde starts to emit when the temperature is higher than 19 ℃. The concentration of formaldehyde will increase by 0.4 times every one degree of increase in temperature. This is the approximate result obtained through a long period of data collection and analysis. Especially in the summer when the temperature is high, formaldehyde will increase significantly. Many families without formaldehyde problems will find that their homes suddenly have a strange smell, Because of temperature and other problems, formaldehyde emits faster than usual, and the concentration becomes higher.
Although formaldehyde treatment has nothing to do with seasons, as long as it exceeds the standard, it should be treated immediately no matter what season, or it should be vacant for a long time to see the situation. However, the release of formaldehyde is seasonal. For example, there are many cases of exceeding the standard in summer, which is also a common situation. Therefore, it is wise to make preparations for formaldehyde detection and treatment in summer.
