SafeAir Formaldehyde Detection Badges
Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a pungent, suffocating odor. It is used as a fumigant, a sterilant, and as an industrial chemical in the manufacturing of resins for adhesives, plastics, coatings and fabrics. Formaldehyde is a potent irritant to eyes, nose and throat. The most common effects of low-level formaldehyde inhalation are eye, nose and upper respiratory irritation. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen.
SafeAir Formaldehyde badges provide an immediate visual indication of exposure to formaldehyde. When formaldehyde gas is present, the exclamation mark in the triangular window on the back side of the badge changes color. The intensity of the color change is proportional to the exposure dose. SafeAir Formaldehyde badges are a simple, cost-effective solution for formaldehyde detection in the workplace.
