AB  - Formaldehyde  is  a  gas  with  a  pungent  odor  that  is  used  commonly  in  the  processing  of  paper,  fabrics,  and  wood  products  and  for  the  production  of  urea  foam  insulation.  Low-level  formaldehyde  exposure  has  been  found  in  stores  selling  clothing  treated  with  formaldehyde-containing  crease-resistant  resins,  in  mobile  homes,  and  in  tightly  enclosed  rooms  built  with  large  quantities  of  formaldehyde-containing  products  used  in  construction  materials.  Formaldehyde  aqueous  solution  (formalin)  is  used  in  varying  concentrations  (usually  37%)  as  a  disinfectant  and  tissue  fixative.  Stabilized  formalin  may  also  contain  6–15%  methanol.
