Formaldehyde can be harmful to health, particularly with prolonged or high-level exposure. It is classified as a human carcinogen, meaning it has the potential to cause cancer. Common short-term effects include irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin, as well as respiratory issues such as coughing or wheezing. Inhaling formaldehyde over extended periods may lead to more severe respiratory problems, including asthma and bronchitis, and increase the risk of certain cancers, especially nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia.

At lower concentrations, it can still trigger allergic reactions and discomfort, particularly in individuals who are more sensitive to chemical exposure. Reducing indoor exposure, especially in homes with new construction materials or furniture, is important for minimizing health risks.
