A look at formaldehyde

Abstract

Formaldehit (FA), tarım, tıp, kozmetik, temizlik, yapı kimyasalları başta olmak üzere pek çok alanda kullanılan, doymuş aldehitler sınıfının en küçük üyesidir ve metil aldehit olarak da bilinmektedir. Formaldehit koruyucu ve sterilize edici bir madde olarak ilaç sanayide, tıbbi laboratuvarlarda yaygın bir şekilde ise kadavra tahnitninde kullanılmaktadır. Formaldehit tıpta hayatı kolaylaştıran pek çok alanda kullanılmasına karşın insan sağlığına zararları göz ardı edilemez. Bu yüzden çalışmamızda FA'nın özellikleri, kullanım alanları, insan sağlığına zararlı etkileri ve koruyucu önlemleriden bahsedilmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Formaldehit, Kadavra Tahniti, İnsan Sağlığı.

Keywords

• Formaldehyde,cadaver fixation,human health
