I saw an article in the last month or so that discussed how quite a bit  
of plywood is offloaded to US markets from China which is not 
accepted  for high chloriform  (sp?) content. in the EU, Japan  and 
other  countries. 
 
It's actually formaldahyde that is given off by the glue.(preservative in  
the Science world etc. and not good for the brain)
North American standards control the amount (if any present) in today's  
world. 
As usual buyer beware. 
I have for years and will again shortly use fir flooring plywood 3/4 inch  to 
make more boxes for supers.  Sherwin Williams has a paint that I apply  
called A 100 (white my choice) that lives up to their 15 year guarantee and the  
hive tool scraping on the edges (once cured ) .
