I find that after I visit big stores that have lots of dusty particle

(as the formaldehyde-laden dust is most likely being ventilated throughout
the store).

Would hardly think that the source of the dust is the particle board, but
is dust that has settled onto the particle board from other sources. Would
be very surprised if the dust itself has *any* urea-formaldehyde content at
all. Now, in those stores, if it is new particle board, there is certainly
the possibility that the material is still out-gassing. But that is
entireley different than assigning the blame to dust.
