The most important source of formaldehyde in long term is the plywood used in new furniture or compartment during renovation. PVC and fabric products may also contain Formaldehyde, but less important than wooden board. If the formaldehyde is only removed or even before the occupation, the products or services in the can only be a remedy and a short-term method, but the formaldehyde can be released from 3 to 15 years, in order to achieve a long-term de-formaldehyde effect, ventilating the room for a long time, repeating the formaldehyde removal and detection work at regular intervals are required.

In order to achieve long-term and complete de-formaldehyde solution, the de- formaldehyde service needs to be done at the beginning of the renovation. At this stage, the most effective way to decompose formaldehyde is by directly apply a natural de-formaldehyde coating on wooden materials before the board is even cut or fixed. The coating can also remove the unpleasant odor from the board so that to protect your health and your renovation team.

Formaldehyde colorless and odorless but irritating gas. When you feel dizziness, pungent smell, allergies, and itchy skin, it implies that you have exposed to 5 times or more formaldehyde out of safety level. By accumulatively breath in and stay under a high-level toxic formaldehyde for a long time, it can permanently damage body cells and nervous system, causing lethargy, lack of concentration, autism or over activity, eczema, sensitivity, and even leukemia. Formaldehyde is specially hazardous to pregnant women, infant, children, elderly and the weak.

Formaldehyde can be released from 3 to 15 years. It is necessary to place a green plant with high absorption capacity every 3 square meter under prolonged ventilations. Thus, we must use a rigorous and scientific approach to completely remove formaldehyde.

Different countries have different standard. In fact, the release of formaldehyde is cumulative, the individual amount or standard achieved does not represent the total amount of formaldehyde accumulated in the entire area with many boards used. Thus, it is still safest to decompose formaldehyde for the boards before using them for renovation.

Therefore, in addition to the choice of unprocessed wooden parts, the recommended solution is to decompose formaldehyde on site before the wooden parts are installed.

It is easy to buy tools for formaldehyde detection, from low to high price claimed to be accurate detect the level of formaldehyde by simple testing methods. In fact, testing and data collection of formaldehyde is a professional procedure. Every time when before the formaldehyde level is measuring, it must be sealed for a period of time to make standard sampling. A standard and consistent measurement will also be required before and after de-formaldehyde service from period to period to ensure service effectiveness.
