At present, American environmentalists are strongly demanding that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) establish limits on the formaldehyde content of household wood products in order to protect the public from formaldehyde gas released from wood products. The long-term exposure of this toxic gas to humans There is a potential link to carcinogenesis.
The Sierra Club, which was founded in 1892, and 20 other organizations have submitted applications to the EPA. They hope that the EPA will adopt the recently determined formaldehyde content standard of the California Air Resources Conference and hope to promote it throughout the country. California has introduced relevant regulations that strictly limit the amount of formaldehyde released from raw materials for wood products and final products sold and used in California. After the implementation of the regulation, it will reduce formaldehyde by 57% (700 tons) annually by 2011. freed.
The Sierra Club stated in a letter to the EPA that the United States has not introduced a federal system to protect the public from the risk of formaldehyde exposure in furniture, except for the requirement for formaldehyde content in the standards for building housing developed by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Laws and regulations, so it is very necessary to formulate national standards.
The letter also pointed out: "The HUD standard was adopted in 1984 and has been used for nearly 25 years. This standard is no longer sufficient to protect human health." "Now we already know that if the safe exposure of formaldehyde is exceeded, Formaldehyde will cause cancer in humans."
In February, the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that 140,000 victims of Hurricane Bay were placed in government-supplied mobile homes. After testing, the formaldehyde exposure of these rooms was at a high level.
