Also, from the EU: * SCOEL/REC/125 Formaldehyde Recommendation from the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits https://circabc.europa.eu/sd/a/2882e9bc-d52e-4944-ac08-974b43957ed2/REC-125%20Formaldehyde.pdf https://circabc.europa.eu/sd/a/2882e9bc-d52e-4944-ac08-974b4... (It's carcinogenic; recommends 0.3ppm or less) * Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety SCCS OPINION ON the safety of the use of formaldehyde in nail hardeners https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/consumer_safety/docs/sccs_o_164.pdf https://ec.europa.eu/health/scientific_committees/consumer_s... (Minimal risk if non-occupational, but “in order to reduce inhalation exposure to formaldehyde, the room should be ventilated when applying nail hardeners.“) And: * Do IKEA cabinets have formaldehyde? http://www.ikaninstallations.com/2015/09/22/do-ikea-cabinets-have-formaldehyde/ http://www.ikaninstallations.com/2015/09/22/do-ikea-cabinets... (Answer: Not in the paint or lacquer, and each individual product meets California's standard of 0.05ppm - given the 0.3ppm recommendation above, I'd recommend ventilation if you've a ton of IKEA products, but even so the cancer risk seems minimized...) Also a quote from the parent's link on leukaemia association: "As a naturally occurring metabolite in many living things, formaldehyde is also found at high background levels in many types of food, such as shiitake mushrooms and many types of seafood. There have also been instances of formaldehyde found in fruits, vermicelli noodles, and even beer [Tang et al., 2009]. Thus formaldehyde exposure via food consumption is also a possibility."
