Health & Safety: Overview

It is estimated that for every U.S. dollar spent on vaccinating children, $27 are realized in long-term economic benefits by reducing medical costs throughout a child’s formative years and preventing the spread of contagious diseases. Formaldehyde plays a big role.

Formaldehyde is one of the most extensively studied chemicals in existence and there is a wealth of scientific understanding of its characteristics. This wealth of knowledge allows formaldehyde resins to be used in the creation of cardiac drugs, antihistamines, personal hygiene products, vaccines, vitamins, baby formula and in veterinary medicine. Pound for pound, this little molecule is a dynamo of economic production that delivers numerous benefits and helps us to lead healthier and safer lives.
