The Hidden Impact of Formaldehyde on Plant Life
Creating Healthier Spaces for People & Nature
At HeveaBoard, we believe a healthier environment begins with safer materials. While formaldehyde exists naturally in the environment, excessive indoor emissions from building materials may affect air quality and even influence the well-being of living occupants.
Through continuous research and collaboration with FRIM (Forest Research Institute Malaysia), HeveaBoard carried out experiments to demonstrate the harmful effects of formaldehyde on living organisms through a chilli plant simulation.
Why Does Formaldehyde Matter?
Indoor plants are often considered natural indicators of environmental quality. Prolonged exposure to elevated formaldehyde levels may impact plant growth, leaf condition, and overall vitality.
This research helps us better understand how environmentally responsible materials contribute to healthier indoor ecosystems — not only for humans, but also for the natural elements within our living spaces.
