Default Formaldehyde can cause asthma

It seems that ordinary household products are making you sick and asthmatic. This is particularly true if they have formaldehyde in them. The bad thing is that formaldehyde is a common ingredient in most household items!

Common indoor pollutants associated with asthma include second-hand tobacco smoke, pesticides, volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde and combustion gases. These are present in many types of cleaning products, paints, glues and cosmetics. Formaldehyde is released from new furnishings, especially those made of particleboard and pressed wood.

Food and Food Additives Trigger Asthma
Exercise-Induced Asthma
Heartburn and Asthma
Smoking and Asthma
Sinusitis and Other Upper Respiratory Infections
Infections and Asthma
Medications and Asthma
Irritants - dusts, etc
Weather
Strong emotions
