Formaldehyde(HCHO)

Binding and preserving substance which has a penetrating odour. In ambient temperature it releases toxic steams which pollute air. It’s widely used as a binder and glue for wood and plastic materials, as a fixer for paper product, carpets and clothes. We can find trace of it even in disinfectant, deodorants, detergents and cosmetics. You can find it in the sub-products of equipments for cooking and heating and tobacco smoke. L’ISFU, usually adopted in the mid ‘70es, it’s particularly dangerous.
Formaldehyde is an highly irritating agent for the skin, eyes, nose, throat and it produces headaches, vertigo, nausea, and breathing difficulties. It could cause also epistaxis. Prolonged exposures can lead to depression and excessive sensitivity to chemical substances. In order to limit its presence , it should be appropriate to verify the components of the building materials, detergent products and maintenance stuff.
You should prefer solid wooden furniture finished with natural products to others. If you have to buy wood-shaving panels certified E1(low content of formaldehyde). Prefer natural tissues for furnishings. Detergents and domestic maintenance should be stored in closed spaces fare from food storage.-
