My apologies upon the overdue of this post.
Formalin / formaldehyde has a tendency to do this:
1. Formalin + HCL = carcinogenic.
2. 2ppm[parts per million] formalin causes eye irritation.
3. 20ppm[parts per million] formalin could cause PERMANENT clouding of cornea.
4. Formalin causes irritation to nose.
*Thus, do make sure that everyone take pre-cautions if you are going to work on formalin stuff.
a) goggles
b) gloves
c) mask? i'm nt sure about this though..
Have fun with future dissection sessions when we are all in uni.
