The reason I know this stuff about the formaldehyde is because I just researched the heck out of it before we put a large addition onto our home (and we've been living in an old crappy camper on our property during the remodel which is still going on!!!!!...sigh it's been 8 mos now!) So I tried to have everything formaldehyde free...I used real milk paint, formaldehyde-free plywood etc etc. So then I hire this all-natural painter and his co. to paint the interior. He's extremely sensitive to formaldehyde as his house was insulated in it years ago and he reacted and cannot live in any house built before 1939 I think it was....
Anyway --sorry this is so long......he did get a reaction after being in my house. Not bad, but there's still some even though most of the house was built in 1870 or so...Aha, but there were minor additions built 15 years ago with plywood........And then one part of the house was currently built with OSB, which I had the builders halt doing when I pulled into the driveway and freaked. Had them stop and made them pull some, but not all because I researched and most sources said if it's on the exterior envelope, it's okay.
The painter says this is absolutely not true --I should not have allowed them to leave the OSB at all but it was too late. I am glad that just to be safe, I had them use AdvanTech on the rest, which only cost $1100 extra.....
And here's more...He told me, and so I looked it up - that the reason formaldehyde is still so prevalent in things is b ecause it is something like 1 - 3% of our gross national product...(something like that, I can't remember) So there is just too much $$$ at stake to completely eliminate it.
Sad, no? Like lead in paint years ago, it probably works really well though too....
Probably TMI, but thought some may be interested....
