Year 2010, Volume: 21 Issue: 1, 71 - 75, 01.03.2010

Abstract

Formaldehyde is a reactive chemical that enters into spontaneous reactions with various cellular elements. It is said that its mutagenicity is derived from this manner. This substance which is found in the natural structure of organism is used at a lot of places from industrial area to home materials, from making of teeth crowns at dentistry to fixation of cadavers at laboratories. Besides of this common usage, it includes important damages for human health. In this composition that is composed using various sources, it has been stressed description of formaldehyde, its using areas, risk group, harmful effects, damages in the body and protective precautions. Of this study is thougt to be contrubuting to fill the gap of knowledge in this field.

Abstract

Formaldehit (FA), çeşitli hücresel unsurlarla spontane reaksiyonlara giren reaktif bir kimyasaldir. Organizmanın doğal yapısında da bulunan bu madde, endüstriyel alandan ev malzemelerine, diş hekimliğinde kaplamaların yapımından laboratuvarlarda kadavraların tespitine kadar pek çok yerde kullanılır. Bu yaygın kullanımının yanında insan sağlığına da önemli zararlar içerir. Çeşitli kaynaklardan yararlanılarak oluşturulan bu derlemede, formaldehitin tanımı, özellikleri, kullanım alanları, etki sahası, zararları, vücutta oluşturduğu hasarlar ve koruyucu önlemler hakkında detaylı bilgi verilmiştir. Çalışmanın, alanındaki bilgi birikimine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir
