Abstract

FORMALIN is used as an anti-septic and therapeutic solution on the fish fertilized eggs in the hatcheries of RAINBOW TROUT FARMS. In this research, the risk of current FORMALIN use on the health of exposed workers in the hatcheries of RAINBOW TROUT FARMS of Chaharmahal va Bakhtiari prov. (the south -west of Iran) was evaluated. This report has focused on three operation authorizations basis of 11 hatcheries; consisting of the workers’ general knowledge of the FORMALIN health hazards, the necessary considerations during accidental FORMALIN leak or considerations of the occupational individual health preservations during FORMALIN use, and so the provided and established equipment in the hatcheries to protect the workers and reduce accidental releases harms to the public and the environment. The study reveals that all the workers were improperly utilizing FORMALIN not only with the unnecessary dosage but also with the unsuitable (no laboratory) equipments. There is only one case of applying suitable gloves (not latex gloves) and 33 % simple mask ventilation among the users as the simplest hazard protection approaches; however 100%, 70.8% and 91.7% of subjects have declared irritation of the eye and throat, coughing and the fingers’ numbness respectively. This awareness of carcinogenetic, tissues fixative attributes of FORMALIN, and its flammable-combustive characteristics were 16.7%, 62% and 33%, respectively. None of the 11 farms have provided equipment for 5 predicated accidents as first aids kits and rescue for fire (except for two fire extinguishers). There is evidence of high risk of the FORMALIN use about ecological, public and HUMAN HEALTH because of unsuitable management system of safety basis and environmental protection requirements in the RAINBOW TROUT FARMS.
