A flow-injection system is proposed for the rapid determination of trace amounts of formaldehyde based on its inhibition of the Brilliant Green-suiphite reaction at pI1 7. Formaldehyde in the range 40-3000 ng ml-' can be determined at a rate of 35 f 5 samples h -I. The limit of detection was 20 ng m

✦ Synopsis
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 140 ng/ml formaldehyde was 1.2%. The method is applied to the determination of formaldehyde in chemical industrial wastewater and phenol formaldehyde resin.
