Abstract

OCCUPATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH HAZARDS OF EMBALMING FLUIDS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF EXPOSURE, RISKS AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES

*Dr. Aaditya Bhardwaj, Dr. Shaniya Sharma

ABSTRACT

Background: Embalming is widely practiced for anatomical preservation but imposes serious occupational and environmental risks due to hazardous chemicals. Objective: To systematically evaluate health hazards, environmental impact, and risk mitigation strategies. Methods: Databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched for studies from 2000–2024. Results: Formaldehyde is the principal toxicant causing respiratory illness, dermatitis, reproductive toxicity, and cancer. Environmental contamination through wastewater and air emissions is significant. Conclusion: Adoption of formaldehyde-free alternatives, strict ventilation norms, and safety training is essential.

Keywords: Embalming fluids, Formaldehyde exposure, Occupational hazard, Environmental pollution, Anatomy laboratory.
