Scandalo nascosto del personale del servizio sanitario nazionale esposto a sostanze chimiche cancerogene ritenute “il prossimo amianto”

Click saver, it’s Formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde, known as formalin in its liquid solution form, can be used to produce resins and adhesives, to preserve cosmetics, and as a disinfectant and fumigant. It can also be used by laboratories to store human tissue samples.

The chemical has been classified as cancer-causing in humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and numerous research papers have linked it to nasal tumours and leukaemia in industrial workers when they are exposed to it over long periods of time. Studies have also linked formaldehyde exposure with damage to the respiratory, female reproductive and nervous systems.
