FOUR WINDS INTERNATIONAL
Formaldehyde
Most of the attention regarding chemical off-gassing surrounds formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a
naturally occurring substance. It is also a key industrial chemical used in the manufacture of the
numerous consumer products which we referred to previously and used in the construction of recreation
vehicles. Trace levels of formaldehyde are also released from smoking, cooking, use of soaps and
detergents such as carpet shampoos, cosmetics, and many other household products. Some people are
very sensitive to formaldehyde while others may not have any reaction to the same levels of
formaldehyde. Amounts released decrease over time.
Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing it is of utmost importance that you ventilate
your recreation vehicle. Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the
temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity.
Open windows, exhaust vents, and doors. Operate ceiling and/or other fans, roof air conditioners, and
furnaces and use a fan to force stale air out and bring fresh air in. Decreasing the flow of air by sealing
the recreation vehicle increases the formaldehyde level in the indoor air. Please also follow the
recommendations contained in “Care & Maintenance” section regarding tips to avoid condensation
problems.
