OAKLAND — Destined for American kitchens, planks of birch and poplar
plywood are stacked to the ceiling of a cavernous port warehouse. The
wood, which arrived in California via a cargo ship, carries two labels:
One proclaims "Made in China," while the other warns that it contains
formaldehyde, a cancer-causing chemical.
Because formaldehyde wafts off the glues in this plywood, it is illegal to sell in many countries — even the one where it originated, China. But in the United States this wood is legal, and it is routinely crafted into cabinets and furniture.

This in turn brings down immunity which invites host of illness and suffering," says Dr Hemalatha Murthy of the National Academy of Naturopathy.
