European Survey on the Release of Formaldehyde from Textiles
Always more frequently consumers are exposed to hundreds of potentially hazardous chemicals in their everyday life. These compounds can come into contact with their body through three different pathways: inhalation, ingestion and dermal absorption.
The scope of the present work was to make a survey on the level of free and releasable formaldehyde that can be found in textile products sold on the European market and produced all over the world, to develop a method to better mimic the foreseeable conditions of use and to assess whether the detected amounts of released formaldehyde are hazardous to human health through dermal exposure.
