Indoor formaldehyde — measured
Identify hidden formaldehyde sources before they affect health.
Formaldehyde causes unpleasant odours, eye and respiratory irritation, eczema and — at high exposures — has been linked to certain cancers. Common indoor sources include insulating materials, textiles, wallpapers, glues, household cleaning products and cosmetics, as well as adhesives and compressed wood products in the workplace.
Our DIY kit lets you test the concentration of formaldehyde in a specific location, or the personal exposure of operatives during specific tasks. Samples return to our accredited laboratory and are interpreted against WHO and Workplace Exposure Limit guidance.
Who is this for?
Homeowners with new furnishings or renovations
Off-gassing from new MDF, adhesives or insulation can persist for weeks.
Schools & nurseries
Children are particularly sensitive — get clear, defensible data for parents and governors.
Employers in adhesive, woodworking & sterilisation environments
COSHH-supporting personal or area monitoring for at-risk operations.
Building managers
Verify ventilation strategies and material specifications post-fitout.
Need a full COSHH assessment?
Pair biomonitoring with on-site exposure assessment.
For a complete picture, combine biomonitoring with personal air sampling, control verification and a defensible technical report from our occupational hygienists.
