FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is one of the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable gas at room temperature, has a pungent, distinct odor, and may cause a burning sensation to the eyes, nose, and lungs at high concentrations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified formaldehyde as a known human carcinogen. There is some evidence of asthma or asthma-like symptoms for children exposed to formaldehyde in homes.

FAQs on the Dangers of Formaldehyde

1. What are the health risks of formaldehyde exposure?
Formaldehyde is an irritant and carcinogen. Short-term exposure can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory system, leading to coughing or wheezing. Long-term exposure, especially at higher levels, is linked to cancer, such as nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia. Sensitive individuals, like children and those with asthma, may experience worse symptoms.

2. Where is formaldehyde commonly found?
Formaldehyde is present in building materials like plywood, particleboard, and pressed-wood products, as well as household items such as paints, adhesives, and cleaning agents.

3. How can I reduce my exposure to formaldehyde?
Minimize exposure by improving ventilation, especially after introducing new furniture or materials. Choose products labeled “low-VOC” or “formaldehyde-free.” Maintain low indoor humidity (40–60%) to reduce off-gassing.
