Abstract

Background: FORMALDEHYDE is extensively used for preservation of cadavers in departments of ANATOMY. However, it is a noxious chemical which may cause serious health problems.Objective: To assess the effect of exposure of MEDICAL STUDENTS to FORMALDEHYDE at the Department of ANATOMY, Niger Delta University, Nigeria.Methods: In a questionnaire-based study, 93 second-year MEDICAL STUDENTS were surveyed at the Department of Human ANATOMY, Niger Delta University, Nigeria. The average duration of exposure for each student in the DISSECTION hall was 6 hr/wk. Participants with history of cough, respiratory or skin diseases were excluded from the study.Results: Out of 93 questionnaires distributed, 75 were completed and returned (response rate: 81%). Of 75 STUDENTS, 58 (77%) were strongly affected by unpleasant smell of FORMALDEHYDE. It was followed by "runny or congested nose" and "redness of the eyes." "Skin-related diseases" was identified as the least ranked effect of FORMALDEHYDE.Conclusion: Due to the numerous health challenges that FORMALDEHYDE causes to STUDENTS in the gross ANATOMY DISSECTION laboratories, it cannot be considered as a suitable chemical for embalmment of cadaver for DISSECTION.
