Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Chronic exposure to the formaldehyde can irritate the respiratory mucosa and lead to conditions like COPD.
Since you have moved out and away from the exposure site, there is no need to worry, as the body on its own detoxifies the remaining formaldehyde in the body.
You may have to take measures like Aerobics and anti-allergic medications to nullify the effects of the long exposure of the formaldehyde on the respiratory mucosa.
Do consult a Pulmonolgist who can prescribe better and suitable medications for the problem you have.
Hope, I answered your query.
