Formaldehyde Test Kit
Model: FOSC | SKU: ed1014Price: $89.95, plus FREE Shipping
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a strong odor. Resins containing formaldehyde are commonly used to manufacture building materials and other common household products such as plywood, fabrics and carpeting. Health effects due to exposure to formaldehyde include watery eyes, burning of the eyes, nose and throat, wheezing, skin rashes and coughing. These effects can result either from a high level of formaldehyde in the air, or due to increased sensitivity to even low levels of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is also listed as a probable human carcinogen by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
This consumer testing kit is an economical way to screen your home or workplace for the presence of formaldehyde. This kit is simple to use and provides top-quality test results.
Testing Procedure
The testing kit will be mailed to you complete with everything needed to complete the test. The Formaldehyde Screen Test uses a patented badge product to collect the sample from your home. Step-by-step instructions included in the kit contain a detailed explanation of how to use the badge and take the sample. Once testing begins, the badge will collect sample data for 24-hours. You may either clip the badge for a single person to test personal exposure, or you may place the badge in one location to measure room exposure. Once sampling is complete, the collection badge is then mailed to the Environmental Diagnostics Laboratory. A pre-addressed envelope is included in the kit. You can expect to receive results within 7 to 10 business days after the sample is received by the lab.
Expert Results
After the sample is received by the laboratory, it will be analyzed using the very highest quality equipment. A report of findings will then be generated and mailed back for you. These results will identify at what concentration formaldehyde was detected. A summary of recommended actions based on your findings will also be included. A toll free number is provided by the lab for any questions you may have about your results.

Comments about Allergen Test Kits Formaldehyde Test Kit:
We are full-time RVers and live in a 5th wheel. We had a concern about formaldehyde emissions and my wife's health. We had heard that formaldehyde could be the source of unexplained breathing and muscular illnesses. This test gave us the information we needed in a timely manner. The positive results put us at ease concerning formaldehyde as a source of contamination. We recommend the test for anyone living in a confined space. This will provide the answer they may need.

Wanted to know the Formaldehyde level in my camper air under normal sleeping conditions, i.e. cracked windows, fan, etc. Results gave me confidence that sleeping in the camper was relatively safe.

Learned interesting information about the dangers of levels of formaldehyde and that resources are available to test levels in our environment. The product was easy to use and was sure of its accuracy.

Comments about Allergen Test Kits Formaldehyde Test Kit:
The shipping of the test kit was excellent. The kit was easy to use. I just wish the lab confirms when it receives the kit. It took a little longer than expected because I mailed it before a major holiday, so I was unsure when I could expect the test results. They were emailed within the business day range after it was received, I believe.

Comments about Allergen Test Kits Formaldehyde Test Kit:
I am so grateful for your formaldehyde test kit. I was having trouble breathing after moving into a mobile home and it was suggested that I find a company who might have a product that could test for formaldehyde. After contacting your company, you sent the test out promptly and without delay. I was able to follow the simple directions in setting the test up. Today I am breathing normally because your test proved that my living condition was not healthy due to a dangerous level of formaldehyde. I feel safe and secure knowing that your company offers products that, if need be, my loved ones can call upon to ensure them of a healthy existence. Thank you Sylvane.
