“…Formaldehyde is a ubiquitous product in nature that can be produced by highenergy carbon dioxide and water under the photooxidation of sunlight, and it is a byproduct of forest fires (Kim et al 2011). Formaldehyde is released from plant stimulants, disinfectants, and nitrogen fertilizer used in agriculture (Salthammer and Gunschera 2021). In addition, formaldehyde results from fuel combustion, tobacco smoke, and the chemical industry (Gustafson et al 2005).…”

Wood-based panels, which contain wood raw materials along with urea-formaldehyde (UF) or phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins, can increase the indoor air concentration of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde can stimulate the upper respiratory mucosa and cross-linking reaction with cell proteins and DNA, and this can result in degeneration and necrosis of respiratory cells and damaged cell proliferation. Formaldehyde can induce health hazards such as nasal cancer, leukemia, and destruction of the reproductive system. Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 5 (ADH5) in the body cooperates with Fanconi anaemia complementation group D2 (FANCD2) to quickly metabolize formaldehyde into formate and maintain the balance of endogenous formaldehyde. However, when both ADH5 and FANCD2 proteins have defects or mutations, damaged DNA repair failure and cell proliferation induce a variety of health diseases. The damage has been found in the upper respiratory area, not on distal body tissues such as liver, kidney, and bone marrow. Meanwhile epidemiological survey has not shown a positive correlation between formaldehyde and health hazards. It is recommended that the use of wood formaldehyde-based products should be reduced, and pathogenesis genes and damage repair mechanism should be studied systematically and deeply to develop gene drugs to remove excess formaldehyde and activate the damage gene repair mechanism in the future.

“…Formaldehyde is widely distributed in the environment into which it is released during natural processes and anthropogenic human activity [ 34 , 39 , 40 ]. The concentration of formaldehyde in closed rooms is higher than in open spaces because it is released from building materials containing formaldehyde-based resins, for example, from wooden plywood, which can cause sick building syndrome [ 34 , 36 , 37 , 41 , 42 , 43 ].…”

The incidence and mortality due to neoplastic diseases have shown an increasing tendency over the years. Based on GLOBOCAN 2020 published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), leukemias are the thirteenth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world, with 78.6% of leukemia cases diagnosed in countries with a very high or high Human Development Index (HDI). Carcinogenesis is a complex process initiated by a mutation in DNA that may be caused by chemical carcinogens present in polluted environments and human diet. The IARC has identified 122 human carcinogens, e.g., benzene, formaldehyde, pentachlorophenol, and 93 probable human carcinogens, e.g., styrene, diazinone. The aim of the following review is to present the chemical carcinogens involved or likely to be involved in the pathogenesis of leukemia and to summarize the latest reports on the possibility of detecting these compounds in the environment or food with the use of electrochemical sensors.

“…Isobutylaldehyde and urea can undergo a condensation reaction to form Isobutylidene diurea (IBDU), a widely used slow‐release fertilizer [75–76] . A recent study found that IBDU emits a significant amount of isobutyraldehyde, which is further enhanced in humid air [77] . Therefore, the concentration of isobutylaldehyde may be much higher than that in urban Hong Kong at locations near the butanol industry or where IBDU is used extensively.…”

In the present work, we have investigated the 1,3‐cycloaddition reaction of isobutyraldehyde ((CH3)2CHCHO) with the simplest Criegee intermediate CH2OO using the OH laser‐induced fluorescence (LIF) method in a reaction tube. The experiments were conducted at temperatures and pressures ranging from 280 to 338 K and 5 to 150 Torr. We found that the bimolecular rate coefficient of the reaction is temperature‐ and pressure‐dependent. The measured rate coefficients at 100 Torr are (4.93±0.89), (4.46±0.80), (3.99±0.72), (3.56±0.64), (3.34±0.60), (2.98±0.54), (2.78±0.50)×10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 at 280, 288, 298, 308, 318, 328, and 338 K, respectively. A high‐pressure limit rate coefficient of (4.47±0.80)×10−12 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 was obtained at 298 K by fitting the pressure‐dependent rate coefficients according to the Lindemann mechanism. The Arrhenius plot of the temperature‐dependent rate coefficients results in an activation energy of (−1.86±0.33) kcal mol−1 and a preexponential factor of (1.72±0.31)×10−13 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. In the atmosphere, the reaction of CH2OO with isobutyraldehyde may contribute to the sink of CH2OO in regions where isobutyraldehyde emission is intense under low temperature and low relative humidity conditions.
