摘要：Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a well known carcinogen. While most studies investigate emission from wood-based materials, knowledge about releasing of HCHO by natural gas combustion is quite limited. This study conducted field measurements in 9 households to address this issue. Formaldehyde generated by natural gas combustion in kitchens can quickly disperse to an adjacent living room when kitchen door is open. A range hood can effectively remove formaldehyde in kitchens if kitchen window is open and kitchen door is closed. Its performance would decrease by half otherwise. These results imply a health co-benefit of reducing household usage of carbon-based natural gas in the age of carbon neutrality aiming climate change.
