Here experts from Carolina Wood Floors share three facts about formaldehyde and hardwood floors:

• Some Laminate Wood Floors Manufactured In China Contained Large Amounts Of Formaldehyde: In the past few years, reports have surfaced that certain brands of laminate wood flooring made in China have had unhealthy levels of formaldehyde used during the manufacturing process. The formaldehyde was part of the adhesive resin utilized in crafting the layers of laminate wood. Investigations have been launched into the issue, including one by the EPA, and new standards of emission have been introduced for composite wood products.
