Formaldehyde is a substance hazardous to health, specified in Schedule 1 to the British Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 but still used in laboratories as a preservative and for disinfection of surfaces and spaces. In this paper we review the properties and hazards of formaldehyde and its common laboratory uses, and suggest some precautions and ways of minimising risk from those fumigation procedures that carry the greatest risk of exposure to high levels of the gas.
甲醛是一种对健康有害的物质，在1988年英国《有害物质控制条例》附表1中有明确规定，但仍在实验室中用作防腐剂以及对表面和空间进行消毒。在本文中，我们回顾了甲醛的性质和危害及其在实验室中的常见用途，并针对那些存在高浓度气体暴露最大风险的熏蒸程序，提出了一些预防措施以及将风险降至最低的方法。
