In 2021, the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) program documented the disposal or release of 18.5 million pounds of formaldehyde from facilities in the United States. Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound and a human carcinogen that can cause various health problems. Its widespread use in industries such as resin production, plastics, and construction and the large quantities released by these industries into the environment highlight the need for strict control measures to minimize its environmental impact and associated health risks.
