Are you planning on buying an engineered wood floor? If so there are a lot of things to consider:

What is the veneer thickness and how is it finished? The substrate is very significant. If it is manufactured with the proper adhesive then you will be OK (isocyanate or phenolic resins you should be good to go).

But, China has no formaldehyde emission standards so if it is manufactured with a formaldehyde-containing adhesive, you may have very high emissions and/or marginal properties. Buyer beware! Lots and lots of things to questions.
