I have had chemical sensitivity for nearly 20 years and can say for sure
that ANY chemical exposure can result in a drop in energy - it depends
upon the individual's constitution as to which chemicals and how much
exposure as to the effects.

Hello Lachlan,
no, I do not think so.
Although Formaldehyde is a poisonous gas, it works directly on the
throat.
The feeling of drained comes in most cases from exposure to magnetic
alternating fields, as they are quite high with fluorescent lights.
There seems to be something disturbing in the light spectrum of those
lamps also, as it is with halogen lamps.
