Wood contains formaldehyde.

Yes, of course, it decreases over time, fortunately. What do you have planned for the ventilation system in the new house?

But the question is rather whether the gas is released. Most of what we eat also contains formaldehyde and it is produced in our own bodies, but you can likely handle that.

But Ikea's frames (particle board) contain formaldehyde. Do you mean that it’s okay?

Absolutely not IKEA's frames with particle board!! As I mentioned, my husband welded the frames together, and we only have the drawer inserts made of steel left. We have replaced the bottom with a fiber cement board.

We have FTX today and it changes air every hour. It will be the same in the new house.

Absolutely not IKEA's frames with chipboard!! As I mentioned, my husband has welded the frames together and we only have the drawer inserts made of steel left. We have replaced the bottom with a fiber cement board.

Okay, then I misunderstood what you meant with that sentence.
