A school in Stafford has recently reopened after high levels of formaldehyde forced its closure back October 2015. Formaldehyde was initially detected after numerous pupils reported feeling unwell after discovery of the smell
Formaldehyde, which is found in materials used to make plywood and various types of insulation, is a colourless gas which has a strong odour. Exposure to formaldehyde can cause irritation to the nose, eyes and throat as well as being described as a carcinogenic substance by most health organisations.
