Abstract
Formaldehyde is a well known toxic air impurity affecting the upper respiratory tract. It rapidly forms methylene glycol in water. Reactions of the hydrated formaldehyde with nasal mucus were studied by C-13 NMR spectroscopy. In the NMR spectra methylene glycol dominated and only minor signals from possible reactions were observed. This finding suggests that nasal mucus effectively protects nasal epithelium against formaldehyde.
