Finding F-0017

“After 2018, formaldehyde emissions in WBP produced and/or circulating in the USA must not exceed 0.05 ppm (0.061 mg·m−3 air) for hardwood plywood panels produced with a veneer or composite core, 0.11 ppm (0.135 mg·m−3 air) for MDF, 0.13 ppm (0.160 mg·m−3 air) for thin MDF and 0.09 ppm (0.111 mg·m−3 air) for PB [37].”

Structure

Source: Wood-based panels (particleboard, MDF, plywood)
Factor: Formaldehyde (CH₂O)
Study design: narrative review of production, emissions and regulation (class 5)
Effect: limit 0.05
Jurisdiction: United States (TSCA Title VI)
Flags: primary-missing
Caveat: hardwood plywood; the same sentence gives 0.11 ppm for medium density fibreboard, 0.13 ppm for thin fibreboard and 0.09 ppm for particleboard; the regulation itself is not in the library
