Formalin is a 35%–40% formaldehyde solution, an important disinfectant and antiseptic, with strong irritant effects on the skin and mucous membranes. After absorption, it exerts a depressant effect on the central nervous system. Formaldehyde is oxidized in the body to form formic acid, which often leads to acidosis.
