RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To find an inhibitor to reduce the volatilization of formalin. METHOD: The saturated solution of sodium hydrosulphite (SHS) was sprayed on the surface of the anatomy specimens, then the concentration of formaldehyde in the air was tested. RESULTS: The concentration of formaldehyde in the air of SHS sprayed group [(3.10 +/- 1.22) mg/m3] was significantly lower than that of the control group [(8.36 +/- 4.11) mg/m3, P < 0.01]. CONCLUSION: SHS may be a volatilization inhibitor for formalin, which could reduce the concentration of formaldehyde in the air.
