“ECO”-CABINETRY: What you should know about formaldehyde when making your cabinetry decision
Formaldehyde is used in the industrial glues that are commonly used to bond plywood, particle board and
medium-density fiberboard used for kitchen cabinets, shelving, countertops and ready-to-assemble furniture.
Many state, national, and international governments and health agencies have agreed that it is a cancer-causing
chemical with no known safe exposure levels, that is, risk depends upon amount and duration of exposure.
Public health groups cited studies linking formaldehyde to throat cancer, workplace asthma, and increased cases
of asthma and allergies in children exposed at home.
In 2004, the International Agency for Research on Cancer linked the chemical to throat cancer. An analysis for
the Air Resources Board estimated that formaldehyde exposure leads to an increase in cancer for those exposed
as adults and during childhood.
Formaldehyde emissions are mostly unregulated in the United States, unlike Australia, Japan and some European
countries, which have set some standards. American manufacturers meet a voluntary standard set by the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development that is described by California regulators as insufficient to protect
public health.
