Answer 1

Nothing new.

Usually we use this stuff for preserving for the specimen. Long exposure to this stuff will cause cancer. Nice way to "preserve" the food :) That may preserve you as well :)

Occupational exposure to formaldehyde by inhalation is mainly from three types of sources: thermal or chemical decomposition of formaldehyde-based resins, formaldehyde emission from aqueous solutions (for example, embalming fluids), or the production of formaldehyde resulting from the combustion of a variety of organic compounds (for example, exhaust gases). Formaldehyde can be toxic, allergenic, and carcinogenic.
