Newly decorated rooms or purchased new furniture have harsh and pungent odors, which are likely to contain formaldehyde.
Why does new furniture contain formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a colorless and soluble irritant gas. Soluble in water, alcohol and ether. Formaldehyde is gaseous at room temperature and usually appears in the form of aqueous solution. 35 ~ 40% formaldehyde aqueous solution is called formalin.
Simple furniture
It is inevitable that adhesives and paints will be used in the manufacturing process of furniture, and these chemicals generally contain formaldehyde. Formaldehyde in indoor air mainly comes from artificial wood boards used in decoration materials and new composite furniture, such as adhesives in plywood, large core board, medium fiber board and creative board (particleboard). In case of heat and deliquescence, formaldehyde in the adhesive will be released.
Lovely home
Don't rush to put the newly bought furniture into the room. If possible, it's best to put it in an empty room and use it again after a period of time. When newly decorated families buy new furniture, it's best not to rush in and let the harmful gas in the furniture be released as soon as possible.
