ABSTRACT
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a harmful chemical. It is used in the production of fertilizer, paper, plywood, and some resins. It is also used as a food preservative and in household products, such as antiseptics, medicines, and cosmetics. It can cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat. High levels of exposure may cause some types of cancers. By considering its carcinogenicity and toxicity it is important to determine its amount in given product. In this article, an analytical method for determination of formaldehyde content is discussed that provides accurate amount of formaldehyde presents in Baby Soap and Baby wipes. The analytical was developed on Gas Chromatography triple quadruple mass spectroscopy (GCMS/MS).
