Hazards of Formaldehyde :
1. It is toxic to inhalation and ingestion and causes irritation to eyes and respiratory tract.
2. Skin contact can cause dermatitis. Also cause skin burns.
3. Exposure to a concentration of 10 to 20 PPM can cause difficulty in breathing.
4. Slightly corrosive in nature, suspected carcinogen.

Fire Hazards :
1. Vapors of Formaldehyde are flammable and may form an explosive mixture with air.
