About Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde in its normal state is a colourless gas. Low levels of formaldehyde are part of naturally occurring decomposition processes. In urban environments formaldehyde emission sources include motor vehicle exhaust, domestic solid fuel and gas combustion, goods manufactured with formaldehyde-based glues and resins and tobacco smoke.
The guideline for Formaldehyde is 40ppb (24hr avg).
Formaldehyde is measured in parts per billion.
