On the future of formaldehyde in the anatomy laboratory While it can be assumed that formaldehyde will unlikely be abandoned in the near future, given the lack of alternatives to embalm post‐mortem human tissues, a clear trend can be seen toward reduced TLV. 34 , 45 , 46 Statutory threshold values of 0.3 ppm were first recommended by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) in 2000, aiming to reduce concentrations from as much as 6 ppm prior to 1971.
