When furnishing an apartment, we often focus on design, facade colors, and the number of shelves, forgetting about the most important aspect – the chemical safety of the materials. Most modern furniture is made from particleboard (ЛДСП) and MDF, which use resins that release formaldehyde. This gas is toxic in high concentrations, so a strict classification of materials based on its evaporation level is adopted worldwide. Understanding the difference between emission classes E1 and E0.5 is not just theoretical knowledge; it’s a guarantee of your family’s health, especially when it comes to furniture for bedrooms or children’s rooms.
