Eye Irritation Response of Humans to Formaldehyde

Abstract
Human panelists sensitive to formaldehyde eye irritation were exposed to low concentrations of formaldehyde vapor (0.35-1.0 ppm) for 6 min. Eye irritation was evaluated by time to detection of the 1st race of irritation and by subjective ranking of severity. Time to response and severity appeared to be functions of formaldehyde concentration. Severity of response was above slight only with highest test concentration, 1.0 ppm.
