Description
Formaldehyde is a gas that is usually released by treated wood, polymers, paints, varnishes, adhesives, polymer foams, laminate flooring, particulate boards, furniture, and some other materials. Formaldehyde is 10 times more toxic than carbon monoxide and 1000 times more toxic than gasoline vapor. It causes asthma and cancer. Usually spike in formaldehyde concentration happens when you install new floors or buy new furniture.
The widely accepted standards for formaldehyde concentration in the air are shown below:
1.50 ppm (parts per million of air) – this is 5-minute industrial exposure limit (Ceiling Exposure Limit, MOL OEL, Ontario Canada). In other words, workers cannot be ever exposed to more than 1.5 ppm of formaldehyde.
1.0 ppm – 15-minute industrial exposure limit (STEL, MOL OEL, Ontario Canada)
0.75 ppm – 8-hour industrial exposure limit (PEL, OSHA USA)
0.04 ppm (40 ppb or 50μg/m³)- guideline for residential houses (Health Canada)
0.005 – 0.010 ppm – this is a typical level of formaldehyde that we see in Canadian houses
In short, the concentration of formaldehyde in your house should be o.o4 ppm or less. If you have any questions, please email us at your convenience
