Formaldehyde and Other Aldehydes Diffusion Tubes / Passive Samplers
The largest emissions of Formaldehyde are associated with its manufacture and subsequent use, natural emissions are lower. This tube is used for active (pumped) sampling over a few hours to identify levels of Formaldehyde and other Aldehydes. Concentrations can be measured in the low parts per billion (ppb) range and above.
Sources of Formaldehyde pollution:
- Sterilization.
- Preservatives in food, cosmetics and pesticides.
- Adhesives.
- Vehicles without catalytic converters.
- Insulation, furniture and carpets.
