Formaldehyde can be found in a number of products, including particleboard, plywood, paneling, pressed-wood products, urea formaldehyde foam insulation, some synthetic fabrics (especially permanent press), shampoos, cigarette smoke, fuel burning appliances, kerosene space heaters and some cosmetics.

To test for the presence of formaldehyde, the VA, Armed Forces, healthcare facilities, and some of the largest industrial corporations throughout the world have used vapor monitor badges, such as the Formaldehyde Screen Check, for over 25 years.
