■ FORMALDEHYDE AND VENTILATION
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring organic compound that is widely
used in manufacturing lumber, resins, adhesives, carpeting, textiles,
upholstery, automobiles, electrical wiring, paint, insulation, and many
of the common parts incorporated into your recreational vehicle
and your home� Formaldehyde tends to gas off from new products
over time and during periods of high temperatures and humidity� In
a gaseous form it has a pungent odor and may cause a chemical
sensitivity� This phenomena is more noticeable and likely to happen
within an enclosed vehicle with poor or low air flow through the
passenger compartment�
When formaldehyde gassing off occurs in your coach, it may cause
irritation of your eyes, nose, and throat� Other reactions include
nausea, headache, and asthma symptoms� Children and people with
asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions may be prone to a
higher incidence of reaction to formaldehyde�
The best way to avoid this situation is to ventilate your coach well
before and during each use� Open up the windows and doors, turn on
the roof exhaust fan and the roof air conditioner, and allow the coach
to air out before heading out on the road� Then set the chassis HVAC
controls to provide a steady stream of fresh outside air while traveling
and you will enjoy a healthy interior environment�
warning
WARNING
Your coach includes materials, fabrics, adhesives and other
parts manufactured with a urea-formaldehyde resin and
will release small quantities of formaldehyde gas over time.
Elevated levels of Formaldehyde gas inside the vehicle may
cause temporary eye, nose, throat, or respiratory irritation,
and it could aggravate respiratory conditions or allergies.
WARNING
Why am I being warned about potential exposure to
Formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde is a colorless, flammable
gas with a strong smell. It is released into the air from a
variety of sources. Formaldehyde gas is on the State of
California Proposition 65 list as a chemical that causes
cancer. Exposure to formaldehyde can cause leukemia and
cancers of the nose, throat, and sinuses. Exposure occurs
by breathing air that contains formaldehyde. Formaldehyde
