Formaldehyde is a chemical substance with a pungent odor that is highly soluble in water and occurs naturally in organisms. Formaldehyde, when taken into organisms, is metabolized into formic acid in the liver and erythrocytes and is then excreted, either with the urine and feces or via the respiratory system. Form-aldehyde is widely used in the industrial and medical fields, and employees in these sectors are frequently exposed to it. Anatomists and medical students are affected by formaldehyde gas during dissection lessons. Because full protection from formaldehyde is impossible for employees in industrial plants using this chemical and for workers in laboratory conditions, several measures can be implemented to prevent and/or reduce the toxic effects of formaldehyde. In this review, we aimed to identify the toxic effects of formaldehyde on the urinary system.
甲醛是一种具有刺鼻气味的化学物质,极易溶于水,且在生物体中天然存在。甲醛进入生物体后,会在肝脏和红细胞中代谢为甲酸,然后通过尿液、粪便或呼吸系统排出体外。甲醛广泛应用于工业和医疗领域,这些行业的员工经常接触到甲醛。解剖学家和医学生在解剖课程中会受到甲醛气体的影响。由于在使用这种化学物质的工厂中,员工以及在实验室环境中的工作人员不可能完全免受甲醛的侵害,因此可以采取多种措施来预防和/或减少甲醛的毒性作用。在本综述中,我们旨在确定甲醛对泌尿系统的毒性作用。
