OEL Fastrac Catalog

Formaldehyde, a highly reactive gas, is used in the manufacture of textiles and resins, as a disinfectant and as a laboratory fixative/preservative. It is a high production volume chemical of greater than 1 billion pounds. Formaldehyde is ubiquitous to the environment because it is formed by natural sources and by human activity including auto emissions. It is also an essential intermediate in metabolic processes in the body. Human exhaled air contains formaldehyde in concentrations 1 to 10 μg/m3 with an average of 5 μg/m3. One estimate of concentration in ambient indoor air and outdoor air ranges from 1 to 20 μg/m3 to 35 to 100 μg/m3, respectively. However, it can vary outside of this range in certain instances.

Affygility Solutions has an occupational exposure limit (OEL) and control band assignment for this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). This monograph also contains the acceptable daily exposure (ADE) value.

Why do you need this OEL Fastrac monograph?

• The numerical OEL and control band assignment needed to determine the level of required engineering controls and personal protective equipment
• A listing of all cited references utilized in the derivation of the OEL and ADE
• An expert review and discussion with respect to the critical endpoints of concern, the rationale for the choice of endpoints, and dose that is to be used in the derivation of the ADE (PDE), as required by the EMA's Guideline on setting health-based exposure limits for use in risk identification in the manufacture of different medicinal products in shared facilities
