Which to use: Formaldehyde or mold - hmmmm?

[Guest guest]

Someone that helps me around the house brought me free particle board from a

housing development so I could put a partial floor in my attic. I already

posted that here. It smelled strongly of formaldehyde. I thought I could paint

it and solve problem but then decided by the time I pay him to paint them for me

I could just buy some inexpensive construction board.

I put it out in the trash to get it out of the house. I went to buy and order

it delivered when I noticed mold growing on their 'indoor' sample of the board -

the rest of it was " outside " !!!

I can see why homes can go moldy easily or have other air quality problems. My

choice was between smelling glue or breathing mold. I will check out some other

places. Perhaps there is someplace that stores it's construction wood indoors,

Home Depot?? I don't know. Or it's back to painting the particle board. It's

probably too toxic to begin with to support any bacterial or fungal life.
