41 net celebrity formaldehyde detectors are all unqualified! Please don’t fall into the formaldehyde “scam”
Nowadays, it is a society with a well-developed network, and it becomes an internet celebrity if you are not careful.
Many businesses have changed their minds to online celebrities and turned their products into online celebrities, and many of them are bad businesses.
Formaldehyde, as a topic of most concern to the people, is naturally indispensable for Internet celebrity products.
Net celebrity formaldehyde detector has become a hot product. I always want to test it, and I can rest assured after the test.
But can these formaldehyde detectors really detect formaldehyde?
Recently, CCTV-13 news channel “Weekly Quality Report” reported on this.
The Shanghai market supervision department’s online shopping spot-checked a total of 41 batches of online celebrity formaldehyde detectors. The prices were mainly between tens of yuan and 1,000 yuan, involving nearly 20 brands. The published test results show that: no batch of formaldehyde detector product indication error meets the technical requirements! No batch of formaldehyde detector meets the requirements for repeatability under the set detection environment conditions!
It is ridiculous that e-commerce focuses on the accuracy of the formaldehyde detector.
The current methods for detecting formaldehyde in indoor air mainly come from the national standard GB/T18204.2-2014 “Public Places Hygienic Inspection Methods Part 2: Chemical Pollutants”, phenol reagent spectrophotometry and electrochemical sensor method.
Phenol reagent spectrophotometry is suitable for environments with low formaldehyde concentration. The basic principle of detection is to pump air into a specific absorption liquid through an air pump, and measure the concentration of formaldehyde in the air by changing the color depth. The measurement result of this method is accurate, but the process is more complicated, and it needs to be sampled on site and then returned to the laboratory for analysis. Therefore, the detection result comes out slowly, that is, the result cannot be produced on site.
The electrochemical sensor method is suitable for environments where the concentration of formaldehyde is high. The basic principle of detection is to pass the air containing formaldehyde through the electrochemical sensor at a certain speed, and the sensor will generate currents of different sizes according to the concentration, and determine the concentration of formaldehyde through the intensity of the current. The detection speed of this method is fast, and the results can be seen on the spot. Most of the nominal detection principles of the random-checked net celebrity formaldehyde detector are this.
But disassembling the online shopping detector, you will find that the internal structure is simply pieced together with inferior sensing elements, which does not achieve the detection effect of electrochemical sensors at all.
In fact, the prevention of formaldehyde does not rely on detection. The existence of the detector only gives us a psychological comfort and makes us feel comfortable. If you want to fundamentally control formaldehyde, you need to start with the raw materials. Furniture and home decoration paint release formaldehyde is a long-term process. When choosing paint, choose Water-based paint, environmental protection, health and pollution-free, say goodbye to formaldehyde!
