RAMIREZ PEREZ, María Antonieta; GARICANO QUINONEZ, Luis Fernando  e  DEL CAMPO BALSA, Mª Teresa. Biological effects and follow up of employees exposed to formaldehyde. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.2, pp.110-117.  Epub 28-Dez-2020. ISSN 3020-1160.

Formaldehyde (FA) is a widely used industrial chemical which exposure is associated with the appearance of biological effects such as airway irritation, genotoxic and immunotoxic effects, sensitization and cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classified FA as a human carcinogen (group 1). The aim of this review is to study the biological effects in any type of occupational and non-occupational exposure to FA, and then to analyze the assessment of the anamnesis, the physical exploration and the complementary tests to be considered in the medical-occupational history of employees exposed to formaldehyde, since it is fundamental for its follow-up. In conclusion, we propose the revision of the specific official protocols of health surveillance.

Palavras-chave : formaldehído; exposición laboral; efectos biológicos; acido fórmico; historia clínico-laboral.
