  2. Formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formaldehyde

    Environmental factors such as temperature and relative humidity can elevate levels because formaldehyde has a high vapor pressure. Formaldehyde levels from building materials are the highest when a building first opens because materials would have less time to off-gas. Formaldehyde levels decrease over time as the sources suppress.

  3. Chromium toxicity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_toxicity

    In rats, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and indometacin can increase chromium absorption. [19] Ordinarily, cellular transport mechanisms in humans and some other animals limit the amount of chromium(III) that enters a cell. Hypothetically, if an excessive amount was able to enter a cell, free radical damage to DNA might ...

  4. Diazolidinyl urea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diazolidinyl_urea

    Diazolidinyl urea acts as a formaldehyde releaser. It is used in many cosmetics, skin care products, shampoos and conditioners, as well as a wide range of products including bubble baths, baby wipes and household detergents. Diazolidinyl urea is found in the commercially available preservative Germaben.

  6. Vaccine hesitancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_hesitancy

    [114] [115] The levels present in vaccines are minuscule when compared to naturally occurring levels of formaldehyde in the human body and pose no significant risk of toxicity. [113] The human body continuously produces formaldehyde naturally and contains 50–70 times the greatest amount of formaldehyde present in any vaccine. [113]

  7. DMDM hydantoin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMDM_hydantoin

    A patch test study found that "an increase in the use of DMDM hydantoin in cosmetic products will also inevitably increase the risk of cosmetic dermatitis in consumers allergic to formaldehyde." [4] The safety of formaldehyde is a topic of ongoing concern, given the prevalence of formaldehyde and formaldehyde releasers in industrial uses ...

    [216] while lower voltages (3.0 V [1]) produce levels of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde roughly 13 and 807-fold less than in cigarette smoke. [229] Elevated aldehyde formation has an unpleasant taste, leading users to avoid it. [98] The average amount of formaldehyde in vapor from high-voltage devices is higher than the average from cigarettes ...

  9. Vaccines and autism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccines_and_autism

    Formaldehyde is all around us in daily life activities. It can be found in preservatives, materials used to build, and many products in homes. [44] There is no safety concern for formaldehyde in vaccines. The most concerning repercussion is cancer after exposure to high levels of formaldehyde in the air. [44]
