Abstract

Formaldehyde has been shown to cause nasal cancer in rats, indicating a potential that humans may be susceptible to formaldehyde-related cancer as a result of exposure in indoor environments. Upper and lower estimates of human carcinogenic risk due to inhalation of formaldehyde are provideed. The estimates are based on analyses of the final results from the chemical industry Inst. of toxicology formaldehyde long-term bioassay on rats. ( 13 references, 3 tables, )
