The formaldehyde (CH2O) emission rates of combustion sources and solid CH2O resin containing products commonly found in domestic environments are surveyed. The potential impact of these emitters on indoor CH2O concentrations are estimated using simple steady-state, indoor pollutant concentration models. The strongest contributors to indoor CH2O are pressed-wood products and foam insulation containing urea-formaldehyde resins. Combustion sources and products containing phenol-formaldehyde resins are generally weak steady-state emitters.
