The release of formaldehyde from wood-based materials is attributed to both the wood itself and the use of adhesives. Formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, poses significant risks to human health. Formaldehyde release from wood originates not only from the wood itself but predominantly from adhesives. Effective strategies to mitigate formaldehyde emission include surface treatments of wood and internal modifications of adhesives, such as incorporating formaldehyde suppressants, using modified adhesives, or adopting formaldehyde-free adhesive formulations. This study investigates the factors contributing to formaldehyde release from wood matrix and develops strategies to mitigate formaldehyde emissions. It systematically elucidates the underlying mechanisms and influencing factors of formaldehyde release from wood, thereby providing a scientific foundation for the development of effective formaldehyde reduction technologies.
