Description

Formaldehyde, a pungent and colorless gas with a sharp odor, finds broad application across industries, including construction, textiles, and healthcare. Its preservative and binding qualities make it integral to manufacturing various products. Yet, inadequate control of formaldehyde can lead to respiratory irritation and potential carcinogenic effects. Adherence to proper ventilation, protective measures, and safety protocols is essential to capitalize on its utility while safeguarding health and well-being.
"We think AC’s technology can revolutionise the way farmers detect mildew and save millions of lost crops."
