EPA: Breath causes cancer

This is a great one from junkscience.com, it looks like the proposed cancer risk value of 0.008 parts per billionis well below what we produce in our own bodies.
"the World Health Organization] reports people produce formaldehyde in their bodies and exhale it in the range of less than 0.8 to 8 parts per billion. EPA’s proposed cancer risk value of 0.008 parts per billion would suggest that human breath poses an unacceptable risk of cancer; yet, experience and science tell us that couldn’t possibly be the case."

It just makes you wounder.
