  • Title: Nasal cancer in a worker exposed to formaldehyde.
    Author: Halperin WE, Goodman M, Stayner L, Elliott LJ, Keenlyside RA, Landrigan PJ.
    Journal: JAMA; 1983 Jan 28; 249(4):510-2. PubMed ID: 6848853.
    Abstract:
    Formaldehyde has not been established as a human carcinogen. Toxicological studies have, however, demonstrated that formaldehyde causes squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity in rats. A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity occurred in a 57-year-old man who had 25 years of occupational exposure to low concentrations of formaldehyde in the textile-finishing industry.
