Presented by Michael D. Shaw FORMALDEHYDE HEALTH EFFECTS CARCINOGENICITY EPA—“B1” Probable human carcinogen ACGIH—“A2” Suspected human carcinogen WHO (IARC)—“Group 1” Carcinogenic to humans PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS 1-10 ppm—Eye irritation; lacrimation at 4 ppm 10-20 ppm—Coughing, heart palpitations, tight feeling in chest 50-100 ppm and above—Pulmonary edema, pneumonitis, death Contact with skin (formalin or HCHO-containing resins)—Dermatitis Male single oral ingestion 517 mg/kg (DHHS) Minimum Fatal Dose Level — OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE STANDARDS ACGIH TLV? 0.3 ppm (Ceiling) OSHA PEL 0.75 ppm (TWA) 2 ppm (Ceiling) NIOSH REL 0.016 ppm (TWA) 0.1 ppm (Ceiling) NIOSH ANALYTICAL METHODS Method 2016 most sensitive Silica gel/2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine Method 2541 Sorbent tube/2-hydroxymethyl piperidine (1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid) Impinger/chromotropic acid Method 3500 INSTRUMENT METHODS— PRACTICAL AND OTHERWISE FTIR Semi-automated wet chemical methods Electrochemical (converted alcohol detectors) Interscan purpose-designed HCHO sensor INTERSCAN FORMALDEHYDE SENSOR ADVANTAGES Good sensitivity 0-500 parts-per-billion full scale measuring range available Excellent specificity Little effect from alcohols Full interference info on website Quick response time Rise time to 50% Rise time to 90% 30-45 seconds 5-10 seconds APPLICATIONS HCHO ubiquitous in the workplace, however… Biggest applications have been in the forest products industry e.g., monitoring of emissions from manufactured wood products Interscan’s HCHO sensor is the heart of Georgia Pacific’s DYNAMIC MICROCHAMBER Board compliance testing time reduced from 2 weeks to less than an hour
