To make indoor air quality monitoring more accessible, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a low cost, long-lasting, indoor formaldehyde sensor. A unique polymer coating on the ...

Cleaning products, candles, cribs, and cosmetics are just a few of the common household items that emit formaldehyde, a colorless, odorless chemical ...

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University say they’ve developed a coating that can boost the performance and extend the life of formaldehyde sensors.

Many everyday items in your home—from candles and cleaning sprays to furniture and cosmetics—can release formaldehyde, a colorless, odorless gas that may pose health risks even at low levels.

Ongoing progress in nanomaterials and sensor design will continue to broaden how and where nanosensors can be used to reduce formaldehyde-related health risks. If you’re interested in how these ...

Researchers develop a platinum-decorated ceramic sensor with high sensitivity and long-term stability for formaldehyde detection using a multi-heterojunction design.

Lynn Dekleva, who recently took a senior role at the agency, once led an aggressive effort by industry to block regulations on formaldehyde.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring is quite essential to maintain healthy human life. Among different pollutants effecting IAQ, formaldehyde is one toxic VOC that needs to be monitored. In this work, ...

Formaldehyde, commonly found in wood-based furniture, flooring, paints, and cosmetics, is a hazardous indoor pollutant. Even at very low concentrations, it can cause respiratory irritation and is ...
