Abstract A simple, sensitive, and selective method for rapid determination of ultratrace quantities of formaldehyde based on its inhibitory effect on the malachite green–sulfite reaction is described. The reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance at 613 nm at a fixed time of 61 s. The method allows the determination of formaldehyde in the range 14–700 ng/ml. The limit of detection was 7 ng/ml and the relative standard deviation for 10 determinations of…
