Formaldehyde is often found in plastics, textiles, leather, adhesives, cosmetics, paints, detergents and cleaning products. In Germany, around 600,000 tons of formaldehyde are produced every year. However, long-term contact can lead to allergic reactions. Formaldehyde is also carcinogenic to humans. Even small amounts can cause eye and mucous membrane irritation, breathing difficulties, nausea and headaches.
At LANIUS, the formaldehyde content of the articles is strictly monitored and the limit of 16mg/kg not exceeded.
