Formaldehyde Found To Cause Cancer In Rats
Washington UPI reports the CPSC released study results showing formaldehyde inhalation caused nasal squamous cell carcinoma in laboratory rats, marking the first animal cancer evidence. DR Sidney Wolfe calls for reduced workplace exposure amid ongoing federal investigations of particle board fumes and insulation materials. The Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology sponsored the study, revealing tumors appeared within 16 months. About 6.4 billion pounds of formaldehyde were used nationally last year, mainly in resins for particle board and plywood. Wolfe terms findings very alarming due to low doses causing a rare cancer early in tests.
