Understanding the Formaldehyde Concern
A recent Channel News Asia article highlighted the story of a family in Hougang whose children fell sick due to high formaldehyde emissions from newly installed wooden furniture. This situation exposed the hidden health risks in home renovation materials—specifically formaldehyde, a volatile organic compound (VOC) found in many adhesives and composite wood products.
The Health Risks
Formaldehyde exposure can lead to:
- Respiratory issues
- Skin irritation
- Long-term carcinogenic risks
The NEA is currently studying regulations to limit formaldehyde emissions in household materials.
