aldehyde, him him to not so much. do the chemicals from laminate or furniture off gas into the indoor air. the expert gets to the bottom of it. i'm going to set up my device . so we can measure the formaldehyde in here in format regarding the long message from the amount of pollutants in the air determines whether it's harmful to a person's health. but the effect of those pollutants indoors is different for each individual because everyone has different reactions to them. in higher concentrations, formaldehyde can lead to allergies and headaches, irritate mucous membranes, and even cause

and it was 2 weeks later, the results of the indoor air measurements are in formaldehyde was indeed detected in the children's room, but the concentration is low. nevertheless, our expert advises the cubans not to buy any more new furniture for the time being, not one to whom the smooth as is right of. the 2nd tip i can give, which is quite an important one, is to ventilate my. with the formula is
