Carcinogenicity
Conclusion/Summary : Paraformaldehyde: Suspected of causing cancer.
methanol: Methanol was investigated for chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity in two
long-term body inhalation studies. There was no evidence of a carcinogenic potential
in rats and mice exposed to air concentrations up to 1.3 mg/L.

In studies with oral administration in rats and mice the number of tumor-bearing
animals in the rat study showed a clear dose-related trend. The effective dose levels
were far above human occupational exposure levels and are already associated with
other forms of toxicity in humans.
Formaldehyde, solution: Formaldehyde has local carcinogenic activity in
experimental animals; there is evidence for a threshold effect for tumors involving
cytotoxicity and regenerative cell proliferation as the mode of action.
There is no evidence for systemic or local carcinogenic effects after oral exposure in
rats. In dermal initiation/promotion studies formaldehyde did not initiate or promote

SECTION 11: Toxicological information

skin tumorigenesis in mice. There is a clear evidence from chronic inhalation studies
in rats that formaldehyde causes tumors in the nasal cavity.

Reproductive toxicity
Conclusion/Summary : methanol: Conclusive, but not sufficient for classification.
Formaldehyde, solution: It is not expected that formaldehyde reaches the
reproductive organs and there is no evidence for effects on fertility and gonads in
experimental animals after long-term oral or inhalation exposure. Toxicokinetic data
suggest only local effects at the site of entry.

Teratogenicity
Conclusion/Summary : methanol: Conclusive, but not sufficient for classification.
Formaldehyde, solution: There is no evidence for adverse effects of formaldehyde
on embryo and fetal development as dose levels inducing local maternal effects and
secondary decrease in body weights and growth.

SECTION 11: Toxicological information

Carcinogenicity : Suspected of causing cancer. Risk of cancer depends on duration and level of
exposure. Formaldehyde is classified as a category 1B carcinogen by EU
(Suspected of causing cancer in humans). The classification is mainly based on
carcinogenic effects demonstrated in animal experiments, but also on experience
from occupational use indicating, but not proving, increased risk of cancer in humans.
The actual risk is a rare type of cancer in the nasopharyngeal area (upper part of the
throat, behind the nose).

Animal experiments have demonstrated that the cancer risk has a strong link to high
and repeated doses of formaldehyde, with an effect threshold at 2 ppm. This is the
basis for the derived no effect level (DNEL) for occupational use of 0,4 ppm.
Exposure below this level gives limited or no risk for adverse effects.

Delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects from short and long term exposure
Short term exposure No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Long term exposure No known significant effects or critical hazards.

Symptoms related to the physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics

Inhalation : Adverse symptoms may include the following:
respiratory tract irritation
coughing
Ingestion : Adverse symptoms may include the following:
