Formaldehyde
Most of the attention regarding chemical o-gassing
surrounds formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a naturally
occurring substance and is also a key industrial chemical
used in the manufacture of the numerous materials and
products used in the construction of recreational vehi-
cles. Trace levels of formaldehyde are also released from
smoking, cooking, use of soaps and detergents, such as
carpet shampoos, cosmetics, and many other household
items. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde,
while others may not experience a reaction to the same
level of chemical exposure. For the materials used in the
construction of your motorhome, amounts of o-gassed
formaldehyde decrease over time.

Smoking and Medical Advice
TMC recommends that you do not smoke inside your
motorhome. In addition to causing damage to your motor-
home, tobacco smoke releases formaldehyde and other
toxic chemicals.
If you have any questions regarding chemical sensitivity,
consult with your physician or local health services provider.
Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger
vehicle or off-road vehicle can expose you to chemicals
including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates,
and lead, which are known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust,
do not idle the engine except as necessary, service
your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves
or wash your hands frequently when servicing your
vehicle.
