Formaldehyde, commonly found in many household products, poses significant health risks such as cancer, asthma, and fertility problems. An EPA report has been criticized for downplaying these risks, particularly concerning workers near industrial areas. Studies highlight that exposure to formaldehyde, especially in poorly ventilated indoor spaces, can exacerbate asthma in children. As a preventive measure, consumers are encouraged to improve ventilation, choose low-emission products, and be vigilant about product labels to mitigate exposure. Understanding these risks is critical for maintaining better indoor air quality.
Formaldehyde exposure has been found to increase asthma risk in children, indicating a strong correlation between indoor air quality and respiratory health.
A recent EPA report, influenced by industry groups, appears to downplay the health risks of formaldehyde, particularly for workers near industrial sites.
