These Products give off Formaldehyde as a

Color less gas. So formaldehyde is always

present in the air. It stays over long periods,

sometimes years

• New Rooms with Furniture are more likely to

contain higher levels of Formaldehyde.

• It accumulates quickly especially in poorly ventilated

rooms with numerous formaldehyde sources.

• In homes / schools with significant amounts of new

pressed-wood furniture / carpets, levels can be

greater than 0.03 parts per million (PPM).

Note: Formaldehyde fumes are carcinogenic.
