Description

Formaldehyde removal is a concern for many people in indoor environments, because formaldehyde is a common volatile organic compound (VOC) that poses potential health hazards. Formaldehyde is a common volatile organic compound, widely used in building materials, furniture, and some daily necessities. The impacts on health mainly include: 1. **Respiratory problems**: Inhalation of formaldehyde may cause irritation to the respiratory tract, leading to symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, and nasal congestion. 2. **Allergic reactions**: Long-term exposure may lead to allergic reactions, including skin allergies and worsening of asthma. 3. **Cancer risk**: Formaldehyde has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a probable human carcinogen, and long-term exposure may increase the risk of certain cancers, particularly nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia. 4. **Nervous system effects**: Some studies suggest that formaldehyde may damage the nervous system, causing headaches, fatigue, and memory impairment.
