Formaldehyde and
Sick Building Syndrome
Thaddeus
Godish, Ph.D., of Ball State University, Indiana, is an authority
on formaldehyde and indoor air quality. His article, Indoor
Air Quality Notes: Formaldehyde - Our Homes and Health, is available
online. It includes symptom checklists useful in detecting sick building-related
illness, including symptoms common to formaldehyde toxicity.
Environmental Testing
Several people have suggested this company and made positive comments
about the testing and accuracy. Although there may be less expensive options,
Air Quality Research sells a more sophisicated test for ambient air measurement
of formaldehyde. The kit is like a test tube that one suspends in a room
for a set time (ie 24 hours). You cap the tube and mail it to them; they
then tell you the exact parts per million for the air in that sample.
