The widespread use of formaldehyde-based resins had led to the observation of consumer annoyance and health problems associated with its release. Formaldehyde vapor now is known to off-gas from many of these products. Vapor exposure of humans results in symptoms of eye and upper respiratory tract irritation. Inhaled formaldehyde also produces nasal carcinomas in rats and mice (following exposure to 14.1 ppm in mice and 5.6 ppm in rats for 6 hr/day, 5 days/week for 24 mo). These findings resulted in intensified concern over the amount of formaldehyde released into the indoor environment from various laboratory and consumer products.
基于甲醛的树脂的广泛使用已导致观察到消费者的烦恼以及与其释放相关的健康问题。现在已知甲醛气体会从许多这类产品中释放出来。人体暴露于甲醛蒸气会导致眼睛和上呼吸道受到刺激的症状。吸入甲醛还会使大鼠和小鼠患上鼻癌（小鼠暴露于14.1 ppm、大鼠暴露于5.6 ppm，每天6小时，每周5天，持续24个月）。这些发现导致人们更加关注从各种实验室和消费品释放到室内环境中的甲醛量。
