Formaldehyde Monitoring for Workplaces Using Formalin
Formalin — a water-based solution of formaldehyde, including 10% neutral buffered formalin — is widely used in pathology, histology, and anatomy laboratories, hospitals and other healthcare facilities, veterinary practices, funeral homes and embalming facilities, and university or research laboratories. Because formalin contains formaldehyde, employees working with or around it may have the potential for occupational exposure to formaldehyde vapor.
EMT's formaldehyde vapor monitoring badge provides laboratory-analyzed exposure data that can be compared with applicable occupational exposure limits. Whether you're monitoring for formalin, neutral buffered formalin, or another formaldehyde-containing solution, the chemical being evaluated in workplace air is formaldehyde vapor — and this is the badge to order.
Formaldehyde & Formalin FAQs
Is formalin the same as formaldehyde?
Formalin is an aqueous solution containing formaldehyde. Workplace use of formalin can therefore result in potential exposure to formaldehyde vapor.
Can a formaldehyde badge be used when employees work with formalin?
Yes. A formaldehyde vapor monitoring badge can be used to evaluate airborne formaldehyde exposure associated with workplace activities involving formalin.
What industries commonly use formalin?
Formalin is commonly encountered in pathology, histology, and anatomy laboratories, healthcare facilities, veterinary medicine, universities, research laboratories, and funeral homes.
Does EMT provide laboratory analysis?
Yes. Laboratory analysis is included with EMT's formaldehyde vapor monitoring badge.
