What is a volatile organic compound?<\/h2>\n
\n

Volatile organic compounds, better known as VOCs,\u00a0thousands of items<\/strong>\u00a0(such as hydrocarbons, solvents, preservatives, alcohols\u2026) and\u00a0biogenic<\/strong>\u00a0, that is, natural or\u00a0anthropogenic<\/strong>\u00a0It may be (man-made). Due to their incredible numbers, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be found in almost every field of activity (medical, food industry, refineries\u2026) and even in the home (paints, varnishes, cosmetics\u2026). Because they are volatile, they spread around the emission source and are dangerous. Although some VOCs have a low impact on health (visual and odor nuisance), others are highly toxic and even carcinogenic.<\/p>\n

The same happens when dissolved in water\u00a0formalin or\u00a0<\/strong>formic aldehyde<\/strong>\u00a0This also applies to formaldehyde, also known as\u00a0formaldehyde.<\/p>\n

This volatile organic compound belongs to the aldehyde family, formed as a result of the chemical transformation of an alcohol or incomplete combustion of fuel or wood. This article\u00a0It is very harmful to humans and many\u00a0<\/strong>in the field of activity<\/strong>\u00a0(industry, agriculture, photography),\u00a0in houses<\/strong>\u00a0(foam pressed boards used for insulation, concrete, plaster, woodworking\u2026) and even\u00a0in tobacco smoke<\/strong>\u00a0can be found\u00a0.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dangers of formaldehyde exposure:<\/h2>\n

For brief introduction:<\/h3>\n
\n

At ambient temperature, formaldehyde (or methanal)\u00a0is extremely flammable<\/strong>\u00a0and depending on its properties, it may form explosive mixtures in air. Brief exposure (more than 0.1 ppm for 15 minutes) may cause skin irritation, especially eczema, burning sensation in the eyes, and breathing difficulties.\u00a0loss of sensation<\/strong>\u00a0causes . Even at low doses, formaldehyde causes severe ulceration of the digestive tract, although cases of ingestion are rare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For long-term exposure:<\/h3>\n
\n

Long-term exposure to formaldehyde leads to rapid deterioration of respiratory capacities: nasal lesions, cough, asthma, pulmonary system failure.\u00a0The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recommends formaldehyde\u00a0category 1 carcinogenic substance<\/strong>\u00a0classified as\u00a0, which means that its carcinogenic effects in humans have been proven. Indeed, results of epidemiological studies reveal a clear causal relationship between formaldehyde exposure and nasopharyngeal cancers. However, the results do not guarantee a definitive link between this volatile organic compound and leukemia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How to protect against formaldehyde:<\/h2>\n
\n

Before protecting against formaldehyde, it must be detected. The simplest and most economical solution is to use colorimetric reagent tubes such as\u00a0Dr\u00e4ger tubes\u00a0with gas point measurement. Reagent tubes (with pumps, such as\u00a0Gastec tubes)\u00a0provide instantaneous measurement of gas concentration, while dosimetric tubes measure average exposure to the gas. A VOC detector would be useful for more in-depth study and functionality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The simplest and most cost-effective solution is the gas detector tube\u00a0system. Actually\u00a0colorimetric gas detection tubes (\u00a0<\/strong>Gastec reagent tubes (such as pumped ones) allow instantaneous measurement of a time-weighted average of exposure to this gas. A\u00a0volatile organic compound detector\u00a0will be useful for precise monitoring and more complete functions.<\/p>\n

Once detected, air-purifying respiratory protective equipment makes it possible to protect against it.\u00a0With type B filter cartridge<\/strong>\u00a0half\u00a0masks<\/strong>\u00a0or full face\u00a0gas masks<\/strong>\u00a0It offers the best protection against this volatile organic compound. A full respirator that protects the eyes should be preferred to prevent any eye irritation.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
