Funny smell in the house?
It usually starts with a bad feeling or an indefinable smell. Household chemicals are widespread and pollute the air we breathe every day. Although invisible, good air keeps us healthy and is our most important food.*
Pollupatches help you to test for formaldehyde yourself and to quickly and easily identify harmful vapors in your home.
*A human can survive about 30 days without eating, but only between 3 and 7 minutes without air
Piece of furniture or source of pollution?
Fresh air keeps us healthy, fit and productive.
Residential chemicals, especially formaldehyde, are widespread and pollute the air we breathe every day.
>90% We spend most of our time indoors, and our indoor air is usually 10 times more polluted than outdoor air.
Formaldehyde is a pungent-smelling gas classified as a "suspected carcinogen". It is used in numerous products as:
– preservativel
– Adhesive component in wood-based materials,
– process chemical for textiles,
used.
With Pollupatch you choose a simple, proven and easy-to-use test patch that gives you reliable results and peace of mind.
With pollu patches, you can quickly identify pollutant vapors such as formaldehyde.
Pollupatches are designed to be placed with ease on any object, surface and even children's toys so you can monitor the chemicals being released. They change color in just 24-48 hours, warning you of unnecessary sources of pollution in your home. Using a simple traffic light color code that needs no introduction, the patches are easy to use.
How it works.
1. Distribute patches
Distribute the pollu patches in the room at the places where you suspect sources of pollution.
2. Waiting
Within 24 to 48 hours, the green patches turn yellow or reddish if contaminants are present. If there are few-none, they remain green.
3. Evaluate
You can evaluate the test yourself using the simple color traffic light. The enclosed catalog of measures will then help you to act in a targeted manner.

To ask?
Pollupatches bestehen aus einer speziellen Bioplastik, welche große Poren besitzt, in die Schadstoffe wie Formaldehyd eindringen. In dem Inneren des Gels befindet sich ein Bioindikator, welcher sensibel auf Formaldehyd reagiert. Diese Reaktion führt zum Abbau der grünen Färbung und einer Farbänderung in Richtung gelb, orange bis rot. Diese Farbänderung ist einfach mit dem bloßen Auge erkennbar. Die Nachweisreaktion ist dabei so eingestellt, dass erst eine Verfärbung ab einer Konzentration äquivalent zu 0.063 (+/- 10%) mg/m³ Formaldehyd eintritt.
Ja. Die Patches bestehen nur aus gesundheitlich unbedenklichen Stoffen. Bei der Entwicklung wurde darauf geachtet, dass keinerlei Gefahrstoffe, Gifte oder aggressive Chemikalien eingesetzt werden.
Der Patch ist jedoch nicht zum Verzehr geeignet und wir raten, die Patches möglichst unzugänglich für Tiere und Kinder aufzubewahren. Vergewissern Sie sich auch, dass sie alle Patches wieder nach der Nutzung entsorgen.
The patches are made of biodegradable materials and can be easily disposed of with normal residual or organic waste. You can also crumble the patches after use and use them as biological fertilizer.
Beachten Sie bitte, dass es sich dieses Nachweisverfahren lediglich als Orientierungshilfe dient, um eine Orientierung im Raum zu erhalten, wo sich potenzielle Schadstoffquellen befinden.
Each test kit includes a positive and a negative control. This way you can be sure that the test kit works and that your results are meaningful. Each batch is extensively tested before it is released. Pollu patches are a guide that should help you to get an overview of possible sources of pollution quickly and easily.
The patch is a good guide, if you are looking for verifiable evidence, we would be happy to advise you on the selection of special sensors and experts.
If you want to find out more about the sensitivity and reproducibility of the test methodology, you can request the data sheet here.
Since June 2014, the EU has classified formaldehyde as “probably carcinogenic”. Due to the frequent occurrence in our everyday objects and materials, pollutants such as formaldehyde build up in our indoor spaces.
The search for the causes usually takes a long time and is expensive.
It usually starts with an indefinable smell in the apartment: How a formaldehyde test brings certainty.
We spend over 90 % of our time inside. Air pollutants are up to 10 times more concentrated indoors than outdoors. Formaldehyde was classified by the EU as a suspected carcinogen in 2013, but we still find it in a lot of furniture, wooden building materials, paintwork, carpets and even clothing. It turns out to be a challenge to see the problem at all, after all, air pollutants are invisible. Even electronic sensors are usually not very site-specific and only give a vague statement about the origin of the formaldehyde. The fine electrochemical sensors are often even misled by impurities such as alcohol.
Our home should be a place of rest and security, free from unnecessary pollution and chemicals. In order to identify pollutants more quickly, we have developed pollu patches for testing formaldehyde. These small patches indicate when formaldehyde is present at unhealthy levels by simply changing color based on the simple traffic light system. In addition, pollupatches are the first biodegradable formaldehyde test that can be used to fertilize plants after use.
