08 mg/m³ -Processing: 0.02 0.25 mg/m³ Workplace measurements conducted in Helsinki, Finland indicated a mean exposure level of 15.05 g/m³ or 0.012266ppm Consumer Exposure There is some natural formaldehyde in raw food and contamination may occur through fumigation, the use of formaldehyde as a preservative and through cooking. The daily formaldehyde intake from food may range between 1.5 and 14 mg. Tobacco smoke as well as urea-formaldehyde foam insulation and formaldehyde-containing disinfectants are all important sources of formaldehyde exposure. Smoking 20 cigarettes per day corresponds to an intake of 1 mg/day via inhalation (0,815ppm). Formaldehyde is used as a preservative in consumer products, such as cosmetics and household cleaning agents. The general public may also be exposed during release from some building materials such as pressed wood products. The estimates for the systemic absorption of formaldehyde
