Why Avoid Formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas used as a preservative and adhesive in pressed wood furniture, building materials, and personal care products. The EPA and IARC classify it as a known human carcinogen. In personal care products, formaldehyde is often released slowly by preservative ingredients called formaldehyde releasers rather than added directly. Formaldehyde off-gasses from furniture and flooring at room temperature — new furniture and flooring are the highest indoor air exposure sources.
