Both the existing and the proposed limits on formaldehyde need to be rigorously imposed not only on domestic sheetgoods (which generally meet all the existing and proposed standards) but also on the increasingly pervasive imported ones (which in most cases do not). I recently used some Chinese made "multiply birch" plywood and the stench of the formaldehyde glue used in its manufacture was very evident. The enforcement of the standards needs to be not only against the local and national suppliers of these products but also against their Chinese manufacturers, if necessary with trade embargos.
