Does a New Car Have Formaldehyde? How to Remove It?

[BraxtonDella]

Formaldehyde, as a type of carcinogen, poses significant harm to human health. Methods to remove formaldehyde from a new car are as follows: 1. Open windows for ventilation: Before starting the car each time, open the windows to allow air circulation, or leave a small gap in the windows when parking to maintain ventilation inside the car, effectively reducing the concentration of harmful gases and odors. 2. Place activated charcoal: Activated charcoal can not only adsorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene but also eliminate odors, deodorize, prevent mold, and sterilize. Activated charcoal usually comes in small packages and can be placed in any corner of the car. However, activated charcoal tends to saturate easily, so it's important to replace it regularly. 3. Photocatalytic removal method: Photocatalysts are high-quality products for removing formaldehyde. They are a general term for photocatalytic semiconductor materials, represented by nano-sized titanium dioxide, that are applied to substrate surfaces. Under ultraviolet light, they can decompose harmful substances like formaldehyde in the air into harmless substances such as carbon dioxide and water.
