hi terri so nice to be able to talk to you. i have had asthma for l0 years, and use inhalers, i had a sinus operation 7 months ago, and my asthma got a lot better. until this month with all the humidity. my daughter sent an environmentalist over to my house (and pd for it) to see if anything in the house was bothering me. he immediately went to the laundry room and said "dont you smell that" and i said "no" well it seemed that 4 months ago i had put 2 big closets in the room , they were inexpensive from home depot. well he said that they were emitting formaldehyde fumes, and thats what was causing my bronchial and allergy problems. and the reason that it took so long to cause the problems was because the recent high humidity caused the closets to cure and smell. before i remove the closets into the garage, does this make any sense to anyone out there. i did smell the closets really bad when they were installed, but then i guess i got immune to the smell when he asked me if i smelled it. i would very much appreciate anyones input on this. oh the closets are particleboard, and he said that this emits a very strong volatile odor and is a common air
