4 Results Summary

Formaldehyde levels ranged from 0.006 to 25.6 µg/g in agricultural products (n = 480). The mean daily formaldehyde exposure per person was estimated at 127.5 µg, representing approximately 1.4% of the tolerable daily intake (TDI). The hazard index ranged from 0.01 to 0.22, indicating exposure was considered safe for the general South Korean population. ([doi.org](https://doi.org/10.1007/s10068-024-01547-7))
