Knowledge: Formaldehyde and Cancer:
Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable, strong-smelling gas that is used to manufacture building materials and produce many household products.
Formaldehyde sources in the home include nail polish products, pressed wood products, cigarette smoke, and fuel-burning appliances.
When exposed to formaldehyde, some individuals may experience various short-term health effects.
Formaldehyde has been classified as a human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and as a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Research studies of workers exposed to formaldehyde have suggested an association between formaldehyde exposure and cancers of the nasal sinuses, nasopharynx, and brain, and possibly leukemia.
