Follow on Google News | Texas Building Science Experts Share Important Formaldehyde Exposure InformationIndoor Environmental Consultants (IEC) provides formaldehyde testing and consulting services to help prevent exposure to this common chemical and indoor pollutant.
By: Indoor Environmental Consultants, Inc. 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 Resources Board (ARB) has classified formaldehyde as a Toxic Air Contaminant. In many indoor environments, the most significant sources of formaldehyde are often from off-gassing of pressed wood products made using adhesives that contain urea-formaldehyde resins. Pressed wood products made for indoor use include particleboard, hardwood plywood paneling and medium density fiberboard. Medium density fiberboard is generally recognized as being the highest formaldehyde- “Both short- and long-term health concerns can arise from people breathing formaldehyde that has off-gassed into their indoor environment,” To learn more about IEC’s formaldehyde and other indoor environmental quality testing and consulting services, please visit www.iecinc.net, email ncancino@iecinc.net or call (877) 432-8378.
