Formaldehyde Removal in a Controlled Environment Using a Reflective Electromagnetic Energy System Regent’s Distinguished Professor Food Safety & Security August 20, 2008 Executive Summary Introduction
James L. Marsden, Ph.D.
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas that is considered to be a human carcinogen. It has a strong odor at room temperature. Formaldehyde is a type of volaticle organic compound (VOC) that is a common indoor air pollutant.
Formaldehyde is an important chemical used widely to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Typical levels of formaldehyde in indoor and outdoor environments are below 0.03 ppm. In homes that contain large amounts of pressed wood products, formaldehyde levels may be as high as 0.3 ppm.
In this study, the effect of oxidative gases produced by a Reflective ElectroMagnetic Energy System (REME) at reducing formaldehyde levels in a controlled environmental chamber was measured.
Experimental Procedures
Formaldehyde emitting sources were placed into a controlled environmental chamber (Terra Universal – Anaheim, CA) and allowed to equilibrate for a period of two hours. The initial level of formaldehyde was measured using a spectrophotometer. After equilibration, oxidative gases produced by a Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy System (REME) were introduced into the chamber.
Formaldehyde levels were then measured at 30 minute intervals.
Results & Discussion
The initial formaldehyde level in the chamber after 2 hours of equilibrium was 2.2 ppm. Formaldehyde levels were reduced to < 1.3 ppm after one hour of exposure to the oxidative gases produced by the REME system. After 105 minutes, the levels were reduced to < 0.55 ppm. After 2 hours of exposure, levels were reduced to < 0.24 ppm. After 2.5 hours, levels were reduced to < 0.12 ppm. After 4 hours, levels were reduced to < 0.05 ppm. The World Health Organization recommends that indoor levels of formaldehyde should be below 0.05 ppm.
The results of this experiment demonstrate the effectiveness of the REME system for reducing formaldehyde vapors in indoor environments.
