Death. Cases of death in humans acutely exposed to airborne formaldehyde were not located. Death after the ingestion of fonnaldehyde (or a formalin solution) in humans has been reported in connection with attempted suicides. Metabolic acidosis has been noted prior to death, along with respiratory, cardiac, and renal failure autopsy revealed corrosive damage to gastrointestinal mucosa (Burkhart et al. 1990 Eells et al. 1981 Koppel et al. 1990). Increased rates of cancer-related mortality associated with occupational exposure to formaldehyde (predominately by inhalation) have been found in some epidemiological studies, but not in others (see Section 2.2.1.8 and Section 2.5). Animal studies indicate that subchronic inhalation exposure to concentrations below 20 ppm are not lethal (Feron et al. 1988 Maronpot et al. 1986 Martin 1990 Rusch et al. 1983 Saillenfait et al. 1989 Woutersen et al. 1987), but lifetime inhalation exposure to formaldehyde has been associated with early mortalities associated with...
