The authors present the major sources of formaldehyde, and discuss the incidence of contact allergy to this compound in Poland and throughout the world. The attention was turned to an increasing trend in the incidence of allergy in question, as well as to the problem of cross-sensitization to other chemical compounds of the aldehyde group (glyoxal, glutaraldehyde, succinaldehyde and cinnamic aldehyde).
