Gaseous_Formaldehyde

Gaseous Formaldehyde Gaseous Formaldehyde Gaseous formaldehyde may cause temporary irritation to eyes, nose and throat. Some reports suggest that formaldehyde may cause respiratory sensitization, such as asthma, and that pre-existing respiratory sensitization may be aggravated by exposure. Formaldehyde is listed by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a probable human carcinogen. In studies involving rats, formaldehyde has been shown to cause nasal cancer after long-term exposure to very high concentrations (14+ ppm), far above those normally found in the workplace using this product. The International research concludes that the data provides little evidence that mortality from cancer is associated with formaldehyde exposure at the levels experienced by workers in the study. In case of hazardous or unbearable exposure to Formaldehyde emission even if low where effect is felt it is recommended to: i) Flush eyes with large amounts of water. Remove to fresh air. If irritation persists, get medical attention. ii) Wash affected areas with soap and water.
