Q: What is Formaldehyde, and why is it important to monitor?
A: Formaldehyde (CH2O) is a colorless, strong-smelling gas widely used in various industrial and household applications, such as in the production of building materials, textiles, and household products. It is classified as a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) and a known carcinogen, which means it poses serious health risks when inhaled. Prolonged exposure to Formaldehyde can lead to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and allergic reactions, as well as long-term health effects, including cancer.
Monitoring HCHO levels is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality, especially in environments like laboratories, factories, and homes with new furnishings. Regular monitoring helps ensure that formaldehyde concentrations remain within safe limits, protecting occupants' health. By using Formaldehyde gas monitors, businesses and individuals can identify and mitigate potential hazards, ensuring a safer living and working environment.
