“…No information has been found in the literature on the acute effects of occupational exposure to glutaraldehyde below the present Swedish short-term occupational exposure limit of 0.8 mg/m' (23). However, irritative airway symptoms have earlier been described in relation to low-level exposure to other aldehydes such as formaldehyde (6,11,18,22,26). In addition to airway symptoms, general symptoms such as headache and nausea were also more common among the group exposed to glutaraldehyde than among the unexposed hospital group .…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to investigate the toxicity of formaldehyde on lung and protective effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester against these toxic effects.Methods: For this purpose, 21 male Wistar rats were divided into three groups. The rats in Group I comprised the controls, while the rats in Group II were injected with formaldehyde (FA). The rats in Group III received CAPE daily while exposed to formaldehyde. After the treatment, lungs tissues were evaluated by microscopic examination. Results:In the microscopic examination of FA group, fatty and cellular infiltration in the pulmonary interstitium and thickening in the bronchiolar wall were evident. Dilatation and congestion were prominent in the alveolar septal vessels. In FA+CAPE group, dilatation of interalveolar septal vessels was less observed than FA group. Bronchial wall structures are similar with control.Conclusion: It was thought that FA exposure leads to inflammation and injury in lungs. CAPE shows protective and anti inflammatory activity against these adverse effects.

“…Headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea have been reported by people exposed to concentrations ranging from 0.02 to 4.15 ppm in residential environments (7). Neurobehavioral effects, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, memory loss, and sleeping problem were also observed amoi1t histology technicians exposed to concentrations between 0.2 and 1.9 ppm (8).…”

This paper reports the irritant effects associated with formaldehyde exposures in mobile homes. Week-long, integrated fomakldehy concentratioas were nm red uing paive monitors insummer and winter while the mobile home residents continued their normal activities. Information on acute health problems, chronic respiratory/allergic illnesses, smoking behavior, de v , and time spent at home was obtned on over 1000 individuals during the sampling period. Measured formaldehyde concentrations varied from under the limit ofdetection (0.01 ppm) to OA6 ppm. Formaldehyde exposure was estiated for each individual by multiplying the concentration measured in his or her home by the time he or she spent at home. Irritant effects were found to be associated with formaldehyde exposure after controlling for age, sex, smoking status, and chronic illnesses using a logistic procedure. Some of the interaction terms found to be significant indicated that there were synergistic effects between formaldehyde exposure and chronic health problems.
