What is formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a colorless organic compound with a stinging, odorless smell. The World Health Organization lists formaldehyde as a hazardous substance for human health. This is a direct and long-term threat to human health. Causes serious damage to skin, eyes and respiratory system. Even cancer when people use long term.
The existence of formaldehyde indoors (due to wood, curtains, pillows, etc.) is always higher than the outdoor environment. Therefore, formaldehyde contamination to human health is continuous and cumulative. Exposure to high levels of formaldehyde can be fatal (30ml is a dose that can be lethal).
