FORMALDEHYDE: Exposure to gaseous formaldehyde may cause temporary irritation to the
nose and throat as well as lead to respiratory disorders. However, in a thorough review of
sensory/respiratory irritation studies of formaldehyde from the standpoint of occupational
exposure, an expert panel has observed exposure up to concentrations of 0.3 ppm failed to
produce irritation. With regard to respiratory disorders, studies have concluded the threshold for
long-term chronic pulmonary effects is between 0.4 and 3 ppm and for chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease is 2 ppm. Pre-existing respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure.
