I've always heard and read it is a carcinogen. For example there was big deal about a flooring retailer importing wood floors with formaldehyde residue from China. By regulated, is it banned in Australia? Or does it just mean restricted uses? Also is there any mention in Australia that it causes Leukemia?
- lstamour 8y agoThe same link says it's not banned entirely, but limited to the same limit the EU recommends in occupational settings (0.3ppm): >The current national occupational exposure standard for formaldehyde is 1 ppm 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) and 2 ppm short-term exposure limit (STEL). >The NICNAS report recommends that the occupational exposure standard be lowered to 0.3 ppm TWA and 0.6 STEL based on irritation of the eyes and nose.
