pungent gas formed by oxidation of methyl alcohol, 1869, a contraction of formic aldehyde; see formic + aldehyde. Discovered in 1863 by German chemist August Wilhelm von Hofmann (1818-1892).

chemical compound, often toxic to organisms, that is commonly used as a preservative.

Simplest member of aldehyde family, formula CH2O. Formaldehyde is very soluble in water; solutions of formaldehyde (formalin) are used in biological labs to preserve samples. Formaldehyde is fairly to [..]

Colorless, pungent smelling, toxic material used as an adhering component of glues used in many wood products. It can cause respiratory problems, cancer, and chemical sensitivity. At concentrations above 0.1 ppm in air, formaldehyde can irritate the eyes and mucous membranes, resulting in watery eyes. Naturally occurring but when added it is referr [..]

Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring, organic molecule that can be irritating at high concentrations. It is true that some adhesives are known to emit formaldehyde. But engineered wood products are m [..]

Carpet does not contain formaldehyde. While no formaldehyde is used in the manufacture of carpet, formaldehyde occurs naturally in the environment. Carpet, as well as any other textile, can absorb airborne formaldehyde.

(n) a colorless poisonous gas; made by the oxidation of methanol

Carpet does not contain formaldehyde. While no formaldehyde is used in the manufacture of carpet, formaldehyde occurs naturally in the environment. Carpet, as well as any other textile, can absorb airborne formaldehyde.

A chemical often used in toilet cleaners and bleaches for camping or caravanning.

A water-soluble gas used widely in the chemical industry and in the construction and building industries, largely in wood products and in foam insulation. It is also used in some deodorizing preparations, in fumigants and as a tissue preservative in laboratories.  Formaldehyde is listed as a cancer-causing agent under Proposition 65.

A colorless, pungent, and irritating gas, CH20, used chiefly as a disinfectant and preservative and in synthesizing other compounds like resins.

Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound (VOC). Potential sources in the home include pressed wood products such as particleboard or fiberboard, smoking, and glues and adhesives.

A chemical used in manufacturing and chemical industries, and as a preservative by anatomists, embalmers, and pathologists. Being exposed to formaldehyde may increase the risk of developing leukemia and brain cancer.

A colorless, highly irritating, pungent compound used in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as an antimicrobial agent. [4]

a powerful antiseptic and disinfectant, often used to kill bacteria or viruses in the manufacture of vaccines

Formaldehyde is a volatile organic compound (VOC). Potential sources in the home include pressed wood products such as particleboard or fiberboard, smoking, and glues and adhesives.

A chemical compound, the simplest aldehyde, chemical symbol CH2O.  Formaldehyde is a common pollutant, a VOC.

CH2O, A colorless, pungent, carcinogenic, and toxic gas which can irritate membranes. It is used as formalin in its aqueous state (37 %). Formaldehyde is reactive due to its carbonyl functional group. [..]

Is a volatile organic compound with a characteristic pungent odor, that is highly toxic for humans and animals. Health effects are irritation or damage of eyes and respiratory. It can also be allergenic and carcinogenic. Formaldehyde is used in e.g. pesticides, disinfectants and preservatives.

A pungent, colourless, irritating gas (CH2O) that is used as a preservative, sterilizing and disinfecting agent, produced in liquid or gaseous form.

Chemical found in many building products; most binders used for manufactured wood products are formaldehyde compounds. Reclassified by the United Nations International Agency for Research on Cancer (I [..]

A colourless gas with a strong smell. Used in making resins. Fossil fuel

A colorless, pungent, and irritating gas, CH20, used chiefly as a disinfectant and preservative and in synthesizing other compounds like resins.

An organic compound, the lowest in the chain of the aliphatic aldehydes, used in large amounts in a variety of chemical manufacturing processes. It is produced principally by the vapour-phase oxidation of methanol. Large quantities of formaldehyde are used in the manufacture of phenol-, urea- and melamine-formaldehyde resins, or formaldehyde polyme [..]
