Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Symptoms of chronic formaldehyde poisoning include runny nose, dryness and stuffiness of the nose, blurred vision, dizziness, and headache. If formaldehyde poisoning is suspected, a physical examination and chest CT scan are recommended. A chest X-ray may reveal obvious fibrous tissue in the lungs, along with hazy, scattered spots and patches. If suffering from chronic formaldehyde poisoning, it is best to avoid environments containing formaldehyde. You may consider placing certain plants indoors, such as green pineapples, activated carbon, or tea leaves, to help purify the air.
