CW: Boring allergy stuff
Over a year ago I discovered that I'm #allergic to #formaldehyde. It is in pretty much _everything_ and is so hard to avoid: it goes under many names and is often released over time by #preservatives.
However, I only recently learned that is why I am sensitive to fragrances, too. Even if you check the label this #allergen is rarely listed, instead hidden under the "#fragrance" label. Other times formaldehyde isn't even an ingredient but it's created when you spray a product.

6 Things to Know About Sheep’s #WoolInsulation
When it’s time to update your home’s insulation, consider what sheep’s wool has to offer.
By Alexa Erickson, Mar 24, 2021
"Sheep’s wool insulation uses a natural fiber base.
Among the most popular insulation materials today are #fiberglass and #rockwool (also known as mineral wool). Both consist of man-made fibers spun from, as their names suggest, molten glass or minerals such as basalt or diabase. While these insulation types are considered safe by institutes such as the U.S. National Toxicology Program and the International Agency for Research on Cancer, they do contain synthetic, hairlike fibers that can break off and become airborne during installation. They also contain #formaldehyde, which is known to release volatile organic compounds (#VOCs) into the air. Both airborne fibers and formaldehyde can irritate the skin and lungs, and long-term exposure to formaldehyde may cause some types of cancer. Even spray foam insulation can be especially dangerous due to the high level of VOCs that off-gas into the air during installation and before it cures completely.
Sheep’s wool insulation starts as sheared wool that grows naturally on sheep—often wool that is deemed too coarse to make into clothing or other fabric. It is important to note, however, that it is common manufacturing practice to treat sheep’s wool insulation with additives such as boric acid to repel insects and further reduce flammability. Ammonium sulfates may also be added as a fire retardant. So while the base material is inherently natural, the sheep’s wool insulation end product is also not completely free of toxins. Both additives are considered poisonous if ingested and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, nose, and throat. Moreover, boric acid is classified as a reproductive toxin by the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation in Europe. [Boric acid does not pollute like #PFAS though]
When installing any type of insulation in your home, always use caution and wear the protective gear recommended by the insulation manufacturer."

CW: Help with environmental chemicals
Does anyone have recommendations on an affordable “good enough” test tools for volatile organic compound (VOC) &/or #Formaldehyde
I’ve read about the affordable #VOC device shortcomings, but the local mold environmental specialist said doing professional VOC testing would be prohibitively expensive.
I don’t need it to be exactly accurate data as much as a warmer/colder: Did making [x] change help? Which areas are more or less safe? Thank you

What has been extraordinary, #health & #legal experts said, is the extent of the #industry’s effort to block the EPA’s scientific work on a #chemical long acknowledged as a #carcinogen, & how the architect of the effort was back at the agency as a regulator of #chemicals. At the same time, the #Trump admin has moved to sharply reduce the federal scientific work force.

#Formaldehyde, the #chemical of choice for undertakers & embalmers, is also used in products like furniture & clothes. But it can also cause #cancer & severe #respiratory problems. So, in 2021, the #EPA began a new effort to #regulate it.
The #chemicals industry fought back w/an intensity that astonished even seasoned ofcls. Its campaign was led by Lynn Dekleva, then a lobbyist at the American Chemistry Council, an #industry group that spends millions on govt #lobbying.

Residents across multiple states notice strange and worrisome new scent in the air: ‘Certainly a health concern’
Story by Erin Feiger, July 18, 2023
"The Weather Network reported recently that in areas of Eastern and Midwestern #Canada and the #UnitedStates where #wildfire #smoke is heaviest, residents have noticed a burnt #plastic smell in the air.
"While this may sound odd, there is a clear reason for smoky skies to smell like a trash fire instead of a campfire.
"Kang Sun, an assistant professor at the University at Buffalo studying the chemistry and physics of the Earth’s atmosphere, explained to The New York Times that when biomass like branches, trees, and leaves burn, they spew volatile organic compounds (#VOCs) into the air.
"When these VOCs are first created, their reaction with the atmosphere causes the campfire smell typically associated with wildfires. As the VOCs linger in the air, however, they interact with ultraviolet (#UV) radiation to create #pollutants like #benzene and #formaldehyde, which smell like burning plastic, as explained by The Weather Network.
"The more wildfires there are, the more smoke and toxic chemicals there will be in the air, which can have negative effects on the health of both humans and animals."

It's #NationalShowerWithAFriendDay! 🛁
If showering with a friend is impractical in the confines of your bathroom (or you just don't want to see your friend naked), consider using an emergency drench shower!
These safety gadgets are found in embalming rooms to quickly rinse off formaldehyde or other dangerous chemicals that have splashed onto the embalmer's skin.
Don't stay in too long though - drench showers are plumbed into cold or tepid water only.
