Abstract

The study evaluated effects of threshold sensitizing levels of formaldehyde (and its combination with woody dust) on health of furniture production workers. The results enable to conclude that MAC of formaldehyde (or combined with woody dust) increases danger of symptomatic allergies and considerably alters immune reactivity, causing atopic immune state. Formaldehyde promotes general nonspecific diseases by inducing the hyperergic reactivity that exhausts immune defense mechanisms.
