Formaldehyde is a great resin and anti fungal agents and therefore found in a host of products including:
Manufactured wood, plywood, particle board, fiber board, MDF including interior doors, baseboards, casements, crown molding, laminate flooring, cabinets, furniture, fiberglass insulation, etc
Just about any liquid/paste that is used over a long period of time can use formaldehyde for anti fungal agent. This includes personal care products like soaps, shampoos, conditions, laundry detergent, fabric softener, make-up, lotions, hair treatments, etc.
Just in case that isn't enough formaldehyde also has nice finishing characteristics and is used in many fabrics especially permanent press but also prints as it tends to hold dyes in place. Formaldehyde also lays flat so it tends to have a high gloss finishes.
So in a nutshell formaldehyde can be found just about everywhere. CA Air Resources Board released their report on Dec 15, 2009 that found that 98% of the house tested had a what CA considers to be unsafe concentration from a cancer risk point of view. Formaldehyde in the typical home has increased significantly over the past 3-decades. During this same period, Asthma and cancer among children who spend most of their life in homes has increased dramatically.
Everyone should test their home's formaldehyde concentration and then take steps to reduce that concentration. Using the method that the Sierra Club used to discover the FEMA trailers, passive formaldehyde badge, testing is extremely simple and inexpensive at $39 including lab analysis. Testing on a warm, sunny day is best. Assuming your formaldehyde concentration is higher than you would like using a pack of 10 color change tubes for $70 allows you to identify the sources of formaldehyde for removal or remediation.
For the past two years, as a community service project, I have help many families reduce their homes formaldehyde concentration and ALL have reported significant improvements in their families health.
