The health hazards of formaldehyde mainly include the following aspects:

1, which is irritating to skin and mucosa. Formaldehyde is a toxic substance in protoplasm, which can combine with protein. When inhaled in high concentration, it will cause serious respiratory irritation, edema, eye irritation and headache.

2. Sensitization: Direct skin contact with formaldehyde can cause allergic dermatitis, pigmentation and necrosis, and inhalation of high concentration formaldehyde can induce bronchial asthma.

3. Mutagenesis: High concentration of formaldehyde is still a genotoxic substance. Experimental animals can cause nasopharyngeal tumors under the condition of high concentration inhalation in laboratory.

Chronic effects of formaldehyde poisoning

Long-term exposure to low-concentration formaldehyde vapor may cause headaches, fatigue and other symptoms. It has been reported abroad that 14%~ 16% workers have digestive disorders, excitement, tremor and visual impairment after exposure to formaldehyde. In the workshop where the formaldehyde concentration reaches 0.2-0.7mg/m3, workers who work for a long time suffer from loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, headache, palpitation and insomnia. According to reports, formaldehyde can also cause tactile, pain and temperature perception disorders (hypersensitivity is the most common, often confined to one side or some parts of the body), one side of the body (usually the right side) perspires too much, and the skin temperature on both sides of the body is different. The rate of eye and pharynx irritation and chest compression in workers exposed to low concentration formaldehyde for a long time was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the lung function could be affected. Some workers may have dizziness, headache, fatigue, lethargy, loss of appetite, weight loss, decreased vision and other symptoms. However, no clear cases of chronic poisoning have been reported yet. Some studies show that individuals or people exposed to formaldehyde have more tumors in nasal cavity or nasopharynx, and IARC( 1995) lists formaldehyde as a possible carcinogen in human body (nasopharynx) (Group 2A).
