Removing Formaldehyde Fumes


Formaldehyde is frequently used in every day household items. Pressed wood furniture, particle board, two by fours and other building products, durable press drapes and clothing, hardwood plywood paneling, cabinets and cabinet fronts are all examples of items in your home right now that have the potential to off gas formaldehyde.

Redecorating and remodeling often bring in a huge number of other products that can also cause off gassing. Fumes from new carpet, paint, adhesives, and solvents are just a few of the products that can literally drive you out of your home or office.

Heat and humidity increase the rate of off gassing, so it is essential that indoor temperature and humidity be kept relatively low. And if you suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome (MCSS) another essential is to filter the air continuously.

In a perfect world one could expect to maintain even indoor conditions regardless of what the temperature is doing outside. But realistically keeping indoor conditions absolutely even is very near impossible.

Using an air purifier that is specifically designed to remove volatile organic chemicals that evaporate into the air (like formaldehyde) is the best offensive. 24 hour filtration is a proactive way to keep you indoor air clean and virtually chemical free.

PurerAir.com offers an air purifier that is capable of removing formaldehyde fumes and many other household chemicals that off gas and cause problems. See it not at http://purerair.com/healthmate_plus.html
