What does formaldehyde do to your body?

Answer 1

The Center for Disease Control's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry provides some information on the effects of Formaldehyde on the human body. Short periods of exposure to formaldehyde can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Longer exposure can cause coughing or choking, and severe exposure can result in death from throat swelling or chemical burns to the lungs. Direct contact with skin can cause severe chemical burns. Swallowing as little as 2 tablespoons of formalin (liquid formaldehyde) can cause death. Repeated exposure to formaldehyde can cause cancer of the nasal passages. The National Cancer Institute has done studies to identify the long term effects of repeated formaldehyde exposure, and has identified nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia as potential occurrences with this kind of exposure.

Answer 2

Formaldehyde can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat. Prolonged exposure to formaldehyde may also lead to respiratory issues, such as coughing and difficulty breathing. Ingestion or inhalation of high levels of formaldehyde can be toxic and may cause adverse effects on the nervous system and potentially increase the risk of certain cancers.
