Does Sansevieria remove formaldehyde?

1. Can remove formaldehyde

Tiger Piranha can absorb formaldehyde, and its ability is quite strong. The absorption ability is similar to that of spider plant. Some experts have done experiments and found that placing two medium-sized plants in a 15-square-meter room can effectively absorb formaldehyde. Formaldehyde can be removed when the concentration is not high. Moreover, the larger the plant is, the greater its ability to remove formaldehyde is.

2. Other functions

(1) Placing a pot of this plant in a room of about ten square meters can absorb about eighty percent of harmful gases. If you put two pots in, almost all the harmful gases can be removed. It can absorb a variety of harmful substances, such as chloride, carbon monoxide, etc.

(2) In addition, it has a very strong ability to release oxygen. Even at night, it can absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Unlike many other species, they compete with humans for oxygen at night.

(3) In addition, you can also put it in the bathroom to achieve dehumidification and sterilization effects.

3. Notes

Although it is said that it has a strong ability to remove formaldehyde, this is a relative statement, referring to its ability relative to other types of plants. If the formaldehyde concentration is too high, never put it in. Experiments have shown that it can only last for three hours at a concentration of 0.4 mg per cubic meter. If the formaldehyde concentration is too high, it is best to use ventilation to disperse it.
