Polymeric sorbents for aldehydes including formaldehyde and acetaldehyde are provided. More particularly, the polymeric sorbents are sulfonic acid-containing polymeric materials with impregnated urea-based compounds. Additionally, methods of making the polymeric sorbent, methods of sorbing aldehydes (i.e., aldehydes that are volatile under use conditions) on the polymeric sorbents, compositions resulting from the sorption of aldehydes on the polymeric sorbents, and filters containing the polymeric sorbents are provided. |
