Furnitures in the house may secretly harm us.

Let's get to know about Formaldehyde in furniture, which types are safe for our health, and which ones we should choose. Let's find the answers together.

The production of all types of furniture necessitates the use of Urea Formaldehyde glue for bonding and heat during the assembly process. Whether compressing wood or covering surfaces, adhesive and heat are essential. Formaldehyde emissions occur continuously from the finished pieces. If this substance is emitted at levels exceeding safe limits (measured in parts per million or ppm), it can adversely affect the health of individuals who inhale it. Symptoms may include skin rashes, dizziness, difficulty breathing, eye irritation, and prolonged exposure could even increase the risk of cancer. Each country establishes emission standards to ensure consumer safety, known as the Formaldehyde Emission Standard. For pressed wood products, the levels of Formaldehyde (CH2O) emission are categorized as follows:

E1: The minimum standard used in Europe.
E0 and above: The Japanese standard. Furniture with low Formaldehyde emissions at this level is safe for use by the elderly, patients, young children, and pets. However, its essential to pay attention to the adhesives used for surface bonding or laminates, as they also contain Formaldehyde.

"HOUSE 31, even after surface lamination, maintains a Class E0 rating."
