# Formaldehyde

> This test measures the level of formaldehyde, a chemical often used in building materials and laboratories, in your body. It helps show whether you have recently been exposed to toxic amounts of this substance, which can cause symptoms like eye irritation, coughing, or skin rashes. This information helps doctors distinguish formaldehyde exposure from other chemical reactions or allergies. However, a single test result cannot identify the specific source of the chemical or predict long-term health risks.
