Formaldehyde emissions

Formaldehyde emissions refer to the release of formaldehyde gas from certain materials, such as pressed wood products, adhesives, and furnishings. This gas can escape into indoor environments over time, potentially causing health issues like eye irritation, respiratory problems, or allergic reactions. The amount of formaldehyde released depends on factors like material type, age, temperature, and humidity. Regulatory standards aim to limit these emissions to protect indoor air quality, encouraging manufacturers to use safer, low-emission products. Managing formaldehyde emissions helps ensure healthier indoor environments and reduces associated health risks.
