Abstract
Objective:
To find an inhibitor to reduce the volatilization of formalin.
Method:
The saturated solution of sodium hydrosulphite (SHS) was sprayed on the surface of the anatomy specimens, then the concentration of formaldehyde in the air was tested.
Results:
The concentration of formaldehyde in the air of SHS sprayed group [(3.10 +/- 1.22) mg/m3] was significantly lower than that of the control group [(8.36 +/- 4.11) mg/m3, P < 0.01].
Conclusion:
SHS may be a volatilization inhibitor for formalin, which could reduce the concentration of formaldehyde in the air.
