EPA's Formaldehyde Scare

Article Abstract:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has flip- flopped in its opinions on formaldehyde use. Where they removed bans on its use in recent years, they are now proposing new restrictions on its use. Their decision rests, in the main, on one experiment with rats exposed to high dosages of formaldehyde. Human beings are never exposed to such high concentrations, and since formaldehyde occurs naturally in the human body, the rat studies seem poor guides on which to base public policy.
