The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency declared that formaldehyde poses an unreasonable risk to human health, with links to serious conditions like cancer and asthma.
Despite findings that 58 of 63 exposure scenarios present unreasonable health risks, the EPA's report minimizes risks to communities and fails to protect vulnerable populations, such as children.
The EPA's report has faced significant pushback from environmental advocates, who argue that the agency is not sufficiently prioritizing public health and the safety of workers.
The debate over formaldehyde regulation continues as industry groups and politicians push back on the EPA's assessment, calling into question the agency's commitment to strict safety standards.
