Dangers of Formaldehyde Exposed in New Public Outreach Video

The IAQ Video Network produces the third in a series of public outreach videos to educate the public about indoor air quality (IAQ) issues.
 
Sept. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Today the IAQ Video network released the 3rd in a series of public outreach videos meant to educate the public about important indoor air quality issues.  The first two videos, entitled “Mold – A Known Asthma trigger” and “IAQ & Student Performance”, were made available last week followed by today’s release of “Formaldehyde – Danger to Your Indoor Air Quality”.

Formaldehyde is a chemical widely used by industry to manufacture building materials and numerous household products.  Its primary use is in the production of resins and as a chemical intermediate. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. This means it may be present in substantial concentrations both indoors and outdoors.

As far back as 1987 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified formaldehyde as a probable human carcinogen.  The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) does classify formaldehyde as a human carcinogen and the California Air Resource Board (ARB) has classified formaldehyde as a Toxic Air Contaminant.  

“Releasing three educational videos in two weeks is an exciting development at the IAQ Video Network,” reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network.  “One of our primary goals when we began creating videos was to do all we can to educate people about IAQ issues and these videos are a major step in that direction.”
