the air that has off-gassed from products, including composite wood products.
How you can protect yourself and your family from formaldehyde exposure

Use air conditioning and dehumidifiers
The rate at which formaldehyde is released is accelerated by heat and may also
depend somewhat on the humidity level. Therefore, the use of dehumidifier and air
conditioning to control or reduce humidity and to maintain a moderate temperature
can help reduce formaldehyde emissions (drain and clean dehumidifier collection
trays frequently so that they do not become a breeding ground for microorganisms).
Increase ventilation
Increasing the rate of ventilation in your home, particularly after bringing new
sources of formaldehyde into the home, will also help in reducing formaldehyde
levels.
3. What is TVOC?
Researchers of indoor air quality usually call all indoor organic gaseous substances
