Frequency of Formaldehyde Exposure and Case Studies of Countermeasures

Transfer of dyes from furniture to textile products such as clothing, unavoidable formaldehyde, and measures taken by major companies.

Formaldehyde is a chemical substance that has harmful effects on the human body and is found in materials such as building materials, furniture, adhesives, and paints. Here are some examples of countermeasures. While there are regulations on building materials in residential construction laws, formaldehyde is more easily released when temperatures and humidity are high. Additionally, there are no material regulations for furniture. Therefore, we have adopted "formaldehyde-adsorbing and decomposing sheets" inside the packaging of wooden furniture to reduce formaldehyde emissions during unpacking.
