As such, the <a href=\"https:\/\/spot.ul.com\/greenguard\/\">GREENGUARD Environmental Institute<\/a> now requires all products that carry the GREENGUARD Children &amp; Schools Certification to meet this new standard.<\/p>\r\n<p>Recognizing the short- and long-term health concerns students face from exposure to poor indoor air quality, Smith System\u00ae is proud to announce that its entire indoor product portfolio already meets the lower formaldehyde emissions standard &#8211; and has for more than three years. The new formaldehyde emissions limit is 9 \u00b5g\/m\u00b3 (7.3 ppb), which is a decrease from 13.5 ppb.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;Children spend much of their time in schools, where they are exposed to environmental toxins emitted from the objects around then; therefore, manufacturers must design school products to support learning while not being a detriment to children&#8217;s health,&#8221; says Molly Risdall Parnell. &#8220;Smith System remains committed to helping schools create healthy and positive learning environments by ensuring our furniture meets increasingly stringent requirements.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>Learn more about Smith System&#8217;s commitment to healthy learning environments, and <a href=\"https:\/\/spot.ul.com\/greenguard\/\">GREENGUARD Children &amp; Schools Certification<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our entire product portfolio meets new formaldehyde emissions standard.<a class=\"read-more \" href=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/smith-system-furniture-meets-stringent-emissions-requirements\/\" title=\"Read More\"> <span class=\"button default\">Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"read-more \" href=\"https:\/\/smithsystem.com\/smithfiles\/smith-system-furniture-meets-stringent-emissions-requirements\/\" title=\"Read More\"> <span class=\"button default\">Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":9785,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-product-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
