What is FORMALDEHYDE ?
Formaldehyde is a type of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) with a high vapor pressure at room temperature. It can be released into the environment through both human activities and natural processes. While it may not be immediately toxic, formaldehyde can pose serious long-term health risks and environmental harm. This colorless, strongly scented gas is commonly used in the production of building materials and various household items. It is found in products such as pressed-wood materials (particleboard, plywood, fiberboard), adhesives, permanent-press fabrics, paper coatings, and certain types of insulation. As a result, formaldehyde is frequently present in buildings after renovation.
How FORMALDEHYDE Affect Your Life
The most common health issues for individuals exposed to formaldehyde include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. While formaldehyde may occasionally cause occupational asthma, this is relatively uncommon. Studies in animals have demonstrated that inhaling formaldehyde can lead to irritation and damage to the lining of the nose and throat.
Skin Irritation
Contact with formaldehyde or VOCs can lead to redness, itching, and inflammation on the skin.
Nose Discomfort
Exposure may result in nasal irritation, a burning sensation, and difficulty breathing through the nose.
Eyes Irritation
Symptoms may include redness, itching, burning, and watery eyes.
Throat Discomfort
