Offgassing is it a thing?

I'm a fully vaccinated contrary bit of a hippy sometimes and occasionally get to worry about my PIR and Kingspan Kooltherm K103 off gassing. in the places where it will be near the surface in the house. The screed (I think) is really stinky. I keep airing the place and have bought a Dyson to analyse and collect the formaldehyde and dust  from the air. (hopefully).  Any other suggestions or thoughts?

All insulation has some smell when new.

 

The volume of gas in insulation is pretty small compared to say the volume of your house and houses are typically ventilated so that the air is changed many times a day.
