Abstract:
Objective To strdy the purifying efficiency of two types of a certain brand of ozone air cleaner to decontaminate gases of formaldehyde and benzene in simulated rooms air.Methods Formaldehyde and benzene were sprayed in the space of simulated tested rooms according to the concentration of 0.4mg/m3 respectively:then the tested rooms were airtightened for 0.5 h till the end of natural volatilization and the concentrations of tested chemicals in room air becoming stable.The air sampling was carried out by personal samplers with hydroxybenzene absorbents and active carbon sampling tube at the 30th minute,1st hour and 2nd hour after the running of two types of air cleaners.Results The temperatures and relative humidities of the simulated tested rooms were 12.4℃～14.8℃ and 36.3%℃～48.2℃ respectively.At the 30th minute,1st hour and 2nd hour after the starting of air purifying cleaner,the purifying efficiencies of air cleaner with single-slice pottery were 9.24%,44.42%and 55.99% for benzene, and 3.19%,6.79%,10.41% for formaldehyde respectively,the purifying efficiencies of air cleaner with double-slice pottery were 58.81%,62.74% and 72.99% for benzene,and 6.57%,7.53%,11.20% for fomaldehyde respectively.Conclusicn These two types of air cleaners presented a certain purifying efficiencies to hazardous gases such as benzene and formaldehyde in indoor air.The air cleaner need run continuously to maintain the prifying efficiencies dew to the continual release of partial hazardous gases of formaldehyde and benzene in indoor air adsorpted on wall surface.
