About chronic formaldehyde poisoning

2009-03-10View Original

Thread Content

Recently, it has been discovered that some people have redness, swelling and itching around their eyes, forehead and back. The initial suspicion was chronic formaldehyde poisoning. I don't know if any companies have had this problem.

Formaldehyde is a highly carcinogenic chemical. If your company has red and swollen skin, it is initially suspected that it may be lupus erythematosus. There is a problem with the blood system. Change the working environment as soon as possible. There have been two cancer disease series in our company before.

What are the common causes of lupus erythematosus?

I disagree that formaldehyde poisoning is mainly manifested in irritating the digestive tract and respiratory tract, mainly affecting the throat and lungs, irritating respiratory system lesions, and there should be no direct relationship between lupus erythematosus and

Long-term exposure to low-dose formaldehyde can cause chronic respiratory diseases, nasopharyngeal cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors, menstrual disorders, nuclear gene mutations, chromosomal abnormalities in newborns, leukemia, and memory and intelligence decline in teenagers. Among all contacts, children and pregnant women are particularly sensitive to formaldehyde and are more harmful.

Our company was poisoned by formaldehyde. One person died and three were injured. Friends, be careful.

It seems that the phenomenon I mentioned is not directly related to formaldehyde poisoning? What substances do people in the industry think should be related to poisoning or allergies?

According to relevant information, long-term exposure to low-dose formaldehyde can cause chronic respiratory diseases, nasopharyngeal cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors, menstrual disorders, genetic mutations in cell nuclei, chromosomal abnormalities in newborns, leukemia, and memory and mental decline in teenagers. Among all contacts, children and pregnant women are particularly sensitive to formaldehyde and are more harmful. Pathological phenomena introduced by the original poster: “"Redness, swelling and itching in the eyes, forehead and back" should not be caused by exposure to formaldehyde!

Speaking of formaldehyde, I think of benzaldehyde. When I was doing an experiment again, I accidentally got it on my pants. As a result, many small holes were made in the pants. The same goes for formaldehyde. Not only does it smell bad, but some unscrupulous businessmen use it to soak food and poison humans themselves. Why. I have also heard that long-term exposure to low-dose formaldehyde can not only cause chronic respiratory diseases, but also a series of scary and strange diseases such as nasopharyngeal cancer, colon cancer, brain tumors, menstrual disorders, and genetic mutations in the nucleus. It can also cause chromosomal abnormalities in newborns, leukemia, and memory and intelligence decline in teenagers. It is really not something to be trifled with. Be sure to use it with caution.

The phenomenon I mentioned is indeed not necessarily caused by formaldehyde. But I can't think of anyone else besides him. Could it be caused by thiourea?

Formaldehyde is a pure poison that can bind to proteins. Inhaling high concentrations of formaldehyde can cause severe respiratory tract irritation and edema, eye irritation, headache, and bronchial asthma. Direct skin contact with formaldehyde can cause dermatitis, stains, and necrosis. Frequent inhalation of small amounts of formaldehyde can cause chronic poisoning, mucosal congestion, skin irritation, allergic dermatitis, nail keratosis and fragility, and pain at the fingertips of the nail bed. Long-term inhalation by pregnant women may lead to malformation of newborn babies and even death. Long-term inhalation by men can lead to sperm abnormalities, death, and decreased sexual function. In severe cases, it can lead to loss of reproductive ability. Systemic symptoms include headache, fatigue, poor appetite, palpitations, insomnia, weight loss, and autonomic nervous system disorders. According to the poster, it seems to be caused by skin contact with formaldehyde. It is recommended to check immediately.

I agree with what was said above. We have quarantined the personnel for a week, and now the symptoms have basically disappeared. They are now back at work. It has been another week and no similar symptoms have appeared. Could this thing still produce antibodies?

Exposure to formaldehyde can cause respiratory diseases, which is not directly related to the condition described by the poster. At the same time, formaldehyde is currently defined as a suspected carcinogen, not a highly carcinogen.

Lupus erythematosus has nothing to do with this. The most common is skin allergic reaction. If everyone protects the respiratory tract well, it will generally not be a big problem. I don't pay much attention to my skin.

Will chronic formaldehyde poisoning affect fertility?
Reply #162009-03-20
Formaldehyde is indeed a very poisonous substance that affects you and your descendants. So everyone must pay attention to self-protection. This substance can be felt thanks to low doses. Therefore, relevant practitioners must pay attention to wearing labor protection and be fully equipped with ventilation and corresponding environmental protection equipment.
