Linked to a number of health issues at concentrations as low as 0.1 ppm, formaldehyde has an exposure limit carefully regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Formaldehyde is an industrial chemical used in a variety of manufacturing processes. Formaldehyde can also be found in homes and businesses with new carpets, wallpaper, paint and pressed wood flooring or particleboard.
Because certain materials only release formaldehyde under specific temperature and humidity conditions, the PCE-FHM 10 gas detector not only measures formaldehyde concentration in the air, but also measures ambient temperature (°C / °F) and relative humidity (% RH). These key features help make the PCE-FHM an essential tool for industrial hygienists, workplace safety managers and HVAC professionals alike.
