Two, how to identify whether the mattress contains formaldehyde?
1, the price: for example, a 1.5m×1.9m ordinary mattress, the cost of 400 ~ 500 yuan, lower than this price, the source of raw materials may have problems.

(2) Active bamboo charcoal adsorption is strong, can absorb formaldehyde and other odor, bamboo charcoal under the mattress or around can effectively remove formaldehyde;
(3) The formaldehyde in the mattress will volatilize in the air, causing air pollution. At the same time, the human body inhalation of formaldehyde in the air will bring hidden dangers to human health. Plants have the effect of absorbing formaldehyde.
