Inquiry

Are composite woods that contain urea-formaldehyde resins allowed if they are sealed with laminate or a water based sealant on all exposed surfaces? These measures are a solution to exposure to urea-formaldehyde given by the Environmental Health Center (A Division of the National Safety Council). Will taking these steps adequately satisfy the intention of this credit?
