Researchers use chemistry to solve a nagging problem that has challenged the analysis of RNA from formaldehyde-fixed tissue specimens. In hospitals far and wide, tissue samples taken during routine ...

New research has revealed that some of the toxin formaldehyde in our bodies does not come from our environment - it is a by-product of an essential reaction inside our own cells. This could provide ...

During biomass processing, tens of millions of metric tons of lignin waste are produced each year. This wasteful sludge could be avoided by simply adding formaldehyde in the early stages of the ...

In April, the EPA published its draft Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Toxicological Review of Formaldehyde (inhalation), a 192-page document. The publication of this document raises issues ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A panel of top US scientists has backed a US Environmental Protection Agency draft toxicological risk assessment review that found formaldehyde, a chemical with broad industrial uses, to be a human ...

EPA’s draft risk evaluation for formaldehyde preliminarily finds that formaldehyde poses an unreasonable risk to human health. The draft risk evaluation preliminarily concludes formaldehyde does not ...
