The present state of industrial production and usage of the artificial wood board, the main cause of formaldehyde release in its applications, the adverse effects of formaldehyde on human health and the method of lowering formaldehyde emission were discussed in the present paper. Through decreasing the mole ratio of F/U, using two or many times condensation technology, adding formaldehyde scavenger and modifier to the urea-formaldehyde adhesive resin, eliciting free formaldehyde by vacuum dehydration, the urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin adhesive that reaches the environmental standard will be developed.
