Past studies have shown that formaldehyde is mutagenic in microbial tests and Drosophila and causes chromosomal aberrations in cultured mammalian cells. Chromosomal analysis of bone marrow cells and spermatocytes from exposed laboratory animals has failed to show any genotoxic effect. Information on individuals occupationally exposed is limited and there is no evidence to date that formaldehyde can induce chromosome damage at occupational levels of exposure. This study examines the chromosome aberration and sister-chromatid exchange frequencies in lymphocytes from a group of 6 pathology workers and 5 unexposed controls. No detectable differences could be found between the groups in either chromosomal aberration induction or sister-chromatid exchange frequencies.
