A question for those of you who have cadaver labs -

Does a 'formaldehyde-free' embalming method for lab cadavers exist?

If a university is building a cadaver lab, does the lab need to have
specialized equipment that will remove airborne formaldehyde?

Can the air in the lab be vented to outside the building without
treatment?

Is there a legal (compliance or civil) reason to be monitoring for
formaldehyde?

Many thanks for your replies,
