Keep Your Houses Safe With Formaldehyde Gas Monitors

By William Davis


Aside from the poisoning caused by carbon monoxide and natural gases, do you know another substance that pose the same threat? If you read carefully the labels of many products, you will find it among its components. Manufacturer's use it because it's economical. The substance is formaldehyde. As a matter of fact, the more research I did on this dangerous chemical, the more products I found that contained it. We have gotten rid of a lot of items in and around the house since we have learned about the hazards of formaldehyde treated products.

If you are used to putting beauty products on your face such as make-ups, the formaldehyde in it can be absorbed by your skin. When you are getting dressed, the formaldehyde in your clothes could be released as you touch them. Little amounts of formaldehyde may exist in your hair cleansers. Paper, wood, construction materials, furniture, home furnishings, fertilizers, insulation, dyes, a few medicines, disinfectants, and embalming agents contain substantial amounts of formaldehyde. Also, it is the outcome of burning fuel, natural gases, wood or tobacco. Manufacturer's of wood with the likes of fiberboards and particleboards are the main recipient of 1/3 of total formaldehyde use. Newly-produced goods release large amounts of formaldehyde into the air but slowly reduces through time.

Formaldehyde is a known colorless cancer causing gas compound and causes a number of health issues including dizziness, nausea, chronic fatigue, rashes, and hives. Breathing complications, hearts pounding, ear ailments, amnesia, insomnia, sad disposition, throbbing joints and muscle, concentration loss, serious headaches and decreasing health condition are among its severe outcomes. The most severe of it all is acquiring cancer.

Formaldehyde has been existent for a hundred years and has flourished in the commerce industry. Manufacturers of formaldehyde in America produced 11.3 billion pounds in 1998. In 2004, formaldehyde turn-out was a huge 46 billion pounds and continues to increase. It wasn't unexpected that government would not forbid formaldehyde's inclusion in consumer products given that it was a large player in the industry. Nevertheless, during 1985, an ordinance in the State of Minnesota was passed stating that specified industrial materials that utilize urea formaldehyde must have warning labels indicating such.

Lately, a black leather bag that we purchased reeked with formaldehyde (strong smell similar to a pickle), therefore we disposed of it. Disposing of your things that you doubt contains formaldehyde is the most excellent means to safeguard yourself. And - never have anything with exposed particleboard in your sleeping area. More further, to avoid formaldehyde poisoning, limit yourself from getting contact or baring yourself in areas contaminated by formaldehyde. You can set up an alarm system that can monitor the quality of air inside your home. Since formaldehyde is a gaseous substance, which are emitted by construction materials or released by burnt materials, the alarm will be able to sense its presence as it enters the house, which is typical for mobile or pre-engineered homes. Make sure that you have access to clean fresh air so check your air ventilations.

Protect yourself. Think sharp and be reasonable. Take the required precautionary actions in your home to ensure the safety of the whole family.
