Dangers

Recently, it has been found that the fumes given off by phenol resin based adhesives have become a big problem. In a state of solution, Formaldehyde irritates the skin and hardens it until it cracks, and can cause ulcers. In its gaseous state, it irritates the eyes and when inhaled, the mucous membranes, causing coughing fits. Chronic effects include hepatic (liver) and renal (kidney) disorders.
