Building Health CheckClearwater, FL – (Feb 24, 2016) – In response to concerns over increased formaldehyde (HCHO) levels in homes and businesses, Building Health Check, LLC, has produced a “How to” video (click link) to help customers better understand the process of sample collection.

Monitoring for Formaldehyde:

Formaldehyde can be found in a number of products, including: particleboard, plywood, paneling, pressed-wood products, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, some synthetic fabrics (especially permanent press), shampoos, cigarette smoke, fuel burning appliances, kerosene space heaters, and some cosmetics.

How can I measure Formaldehyde?

Vapor monitor badges, such as the Formaldehyde Screen Check (FOSC), have been used for over 25 years to test for the presence of formaldehyde by the VA, The Armed Forces, health care facilities, and some of the largest industrial corporations throughout the world.

The FOSCs can be used to measure personal exposure or room exposure in homes, businesses or industry. It is:

  • Easy to use and inexpensive
  • Data-validated for accuracy
  • Analyzed by an accredited laboratory

Customers receive a written lab report of their sample results.

Where can I purchase the FOCS?
