Protein-formaldehyde reactions exposure

In their cured state UF resins are nontoxic. Urea itself is also harmless. However, free formaldehyde and formaldehyde generated by slow hydrolysis of the aminoplastic bond are highly reactive and combine easily with proteins in the human body. This may cause a painful inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, and mouth [25]. Even a low concentration of formaldehyde vapor in the air can cause disagreeable irritations of the nose and eyes. However, such irritations usually disappear in a short time without permanent damage. Occasionally, allergic or anaphylactic reactions develop and complete removal from exposure is necessary. [Pg.639]
