"Regarding health concerns from the binder, MDI is formaldehyde-free, so it is generally favored over urea-formaldehyde and phenol-formaldehyde binders among indoor air quality experts. However, MDI (methyl diisocyanate) is highly toxic during use in the manufacturing plant, so special pollution-control and health safeguards are required. According to TJM, the Deerwood plant had to meet some of the most stringent environmental standards in the wood processing industry."
