Most of us remember hearing about formaldehyde in science class and know scientists use it for things like preserving frogs in jars. However, formaldehyde has several more common and practical uses.
But first, what is formaldehyde? Formaldehyde is a strong-smelling organic compound that exists as a colorless gas at room temperature; it also has a grand history in the field of chemistry. This gas blends well with water to create a mixture called formalin—when we see those frogs in jars, it's generally formalin since the compound is in liquid form. Whether industries use formalin or formaldehyde, here are some of the most frequent uses you may encounter in your daily life.
Uses in Building Materials
Companies frequently use formaldehyde in building materials such as particleboard or resins. Using formaldehyde in wood allows for greater sustainability and helps fill in gaps when trying to utilize wood that would otherwise get thrown away. Experts ensure that the amount of the chemical used in wood products doesn't present any risk to people.
Uses in Food
Formaldehyde may not seem like the type of product we want in our food, but chemists and nutritionists have found ways to use this organic compound to our advantage. In a similar principle to how a jar of formalin preserves specimens, formaldehyde works to extend the shelf life of certain foods, keeping them safe and edible for greater periods of time. Experts frequently use the gas as a method of preservation for foods like fruits, fish, and vegetables.
Uses in Cleaning Products
One of the most common and practical uses of formaldehyde is in our everyday cleaning products. It's easy to imagine the chemical in certain detergents, but you can also find it in paper towels and, surprisingly, many air fresheners. You wouldn't expect a gas known for its pungent and unpleasant aroma to work as an air freshener, but it works great as an ingredient for keeping the air around us clean and fragrant.
Sat, 08 Feb 2025 14:04:00 GMT Discover how the Trump administration's rollbacks of environmental regulations are exposing Americans to cancer-causing chemicals like formaldehyde.

SECRETARY-GENERAL
On Wednesday, the Secretary-General will attend the 48th Regular Meeting of the Conference of the Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community, better known as CARICOM. He will speak at the opening ceremony, which will take place tomorrow evening in Bridgetown, Barbados.
Underscoring that the Conference’s theme this year – Strength in Unity – which is truly a theme for our times, the Secretary-General is expected to highlight three key areas where, together, we must drive progress – peace and security, the climate crisis and sustainable development.
On Thursday, the Secretary-General will have a closed session with CARICOM Heads of Government, to exchange views on pressing issues in the region, including Haiti.
While in Bridgetown, the Secretary-General will hold a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Mia Mottley of Barbados. He will also meet other leaders on the margins of the conference.
The Secretary-General will leave New York very early tomorrow morning and he will be back in New York on Thursday.
SECURITY COUNCIL
The Secretary-General spoke at today’s Security Council meeting on multilateralism and improving global governance. He said that we have the hardware for international cooperation — but the software needs an update.
He said that the Pact for the Future adopted in September is aimed at strengthening global governance for the 21st century and rebuilding trust — trust in multilateralism, trust in the United Nations, and trust in this very Council.
The Secretary-General noted that the Pact recognizes that the Security Council must reflect the world of today, not the world of 80 years ago. It also sets out important principles to guide this long-awaited reform. This Council should be enlarged and made more representative of today’s geopolitical realities, the Secretary-General said.
He also urged Security Council members to continue working to overcome differences and focus on building the consensus required to deliver the peace for all people.

United Nations Video: From Ground Zero - Global Event featuring Oscar-shortlisted Film | United Nations Movie Society
On Friday, 21 February 2025, the UN Movie Society of the United Nations Staff Recreation Council - dedicated to advancing UN global causes through the transformative power of storytelling, will present an event featuring excerpts from the 2025 Oscar-shortlisted International Feature Film, FROM GROUND ZERO. The programme will be broadcasted live & on demand on the global channels of the United Nations - UN Web TV and UN YouTube.
FROM GROUND ZERO was filmed during the devastating war in Gaza, during which – according to the United Nations Relief and Work Agency (UNRWA) - over 48,000 Palestinians have been reportedly killed since October 7th, 2023 - the vast majority of them children, women and the elderly. And many more are feared missing under the rubble. Sadly, 273 UNRWA colleagues have also been killed since the war began.
In under two hours, the film weaves together 22 short films created by 22 courageous Palestinian filmmakers living and surviving in Gaza over this past year. While pulling from the rubble of their homes and their cities, these filmmakers have come together to share these stories with us – mixing dramatic storytelling, documentary, and animation. FROM GROUND ZERO is a moving and compelling story about resilience and the human spirit. The very existence of this film is remarkable, given the dangerous circumstances that existed on the ground at the time of filming. It is a portrayal of resilience and the human spirit that explores the importance of storytelling in a powerful way.
On this occasion, the event will be opened with remarks delivered by H.E. Mr. Riyad H. Mansour, Ambassador and Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the United Nations. In addition, remarks by Director Rashid Masharawi will be featured.
Movies hold the unique power to promote universal ideals, principles, and values so deeply enshrined by the United Nations - including peace, development, respect for human rights, cultural appreciation, the dignity of the human person, and equal rights for all. Founded at the United Nations Headquarters by Brenda Vongova, the UN Movie Society is committed to championing the goals and values of the United Nations through the universal language of motion pictures.

United Nations Video: Ukraine: Global impact of the war is felt far beyond - DPPA Briefing | United Nations
On the tenth anniversary of the Minsk Agreements, US representative John Kelley told the Security Council that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders was “an unrealistic objective,” while musician and peace activist Roger Waters welcomed United States President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin talks on Ukraine as “a move in the right direction.”
Briefing Council members on the situation in Ukraine, Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia, and the Americas Miroslav Jenča said the ten-year anniversary of the Minsk Agreements has taught us that “agreeing on the ceasefire or the signing of an agreement alone do not ensure a durable end to the violence,” and “ensuring that the conflict does not reoccur and does not escalate will require genuine, genuine political will and understanding of its multidimensional complexity for Ukraine and for the region.”
Waters expressed hope that, “maybe there is a glimmer of light at the end of this dark tunnel of war. It's come three years and hundreds of thousands of priceless lives too late.”
Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzya told the Council that “the Minsk agreements were something which the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime needed purely as a smokescreen to provide armaments to Ukraine and to prepare it for war with Russia.”
Nebenzya said, “had the Minsk agreements been implemented in good faith by Ukraine and its sponsors, there would have been nothing, nothing of what subsequently transpired would have occurred.”
The Russian Ambassador said, “diplomacy has finally been actively brought into the game. And opportunities have emerged for the prompt end to the hot phase of the Ukrainian crisis,” and referring to the Minsk Agreements said, “what lessons do the present negotiators need to draw from the process which so abjectly failed three years ago?”
The US representative, for his part said, “we want a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine, but we must start by recognizing and then returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective. Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering. A durable peace for Ukraine must include robust security guarantees to ensure the war will not begin again. This must not be Minsk 3.0.”
UK representative Barbara Woodward said, “the conditions for a just and lasting peace which protects Ukraine's security, sovereignty and independence” must be create, and stressed that “Ukraine's voice must be at the heart of any negotiations.”
Ukraine’s representative Khrystyna Hayovyshyn said, “weak agreements will not bring real peace, they will only lead to the greater war. That is why we are working with our partners to find strong and effective solutions. Peace cannot be bought, especially not at the expense of law and principles, especially principle of territorial integrity and sovereign equality. This cannot be replaced with appeasement. History offers many relevant examples. Our task is to avoid repeating past mistakes, as the cost of those mistakes is more blood, suffering and destruction.”
Today’s meeting coincided with the tenth anniversary of resolution 2202, which endorsed the now-defunct Minsk agreements of 2015 signed by the representatives of European security pact, the OSCE, Russia, Ukraine and leaders of the pro-Russian separatists in the occupied east of Ukraine following Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
The unanimously adopted resolution included a package of measures as its annex, including an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine, as well as the withdrawal of all heavy weapons by both sides by equal distances to create a security zone.

SECRETARY-GENERAL/AFRICAN UNION
The Secretary-General is back in New York after attending the African Union summit in Addis Ababa.
In a press conference as he departed on Saturday, the Secretary-General said that over three days in Addis Ababa, he had met many leaders from across the continent to discuss challenges across the spectrum. And he emphasizes that despite the many tests facing Africa, we start from a position of strength.
At the same time, the Secretary-General drew attention to a United Nations Security Council where Africa still inexplicably lacks permanent representation and an international financial architecture where the power and place of Africa is not fairly at the table.
SECURITY COUNCIL
This morning, the Security Council held a briefing on threats to international peace and security. Briefing Council members, Miroslav Jenča, the Assistant Secretary-General for Europe, Central Asia, and the Americas, noted that in one week, we will mark three tragic years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, launched in violation of the UN Charter and international law. In this context, Mr. Jenča said, today’s ten-year anniversary of Security Council resolution 2202 - that called for the full implementation of the now defunct Minsk agreements - is an opportunity to recall past diplomatic efforts towards de-escalation and a peaceful settlement of the conflict.
He noted that the Secretary-General has underlined, time and again, that any peaceful settlement must respect the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, in line with the UN Charter, international law and resolutions of the General Assembly. Mr. Jenča said that the UN encourages dialogue among all stakeholders and welcomes all genuine efforts and initiatives, with the full participation of Ukraine and the Russian Federation, that would alleviate the impact of the war on civilians and de-escalate the conflict.

The decision by US District Judge Tanya Chutkan is an early blow to efforts by a group of Democratic state attorneys general to hamstring Musk and DOGE as they undertake efforts to upend the federal workforce. But the judge also indicated she was skeptical about the Trump administration’s statements about Musk and his powers in DOGE.

BBC News Video: Trump tells Ukraine “You should have never started the war, you could have given up land” | BBC News
Donald Trump has blamed Ukraine for Russia’s invasion of its neighbour. Speaking after talks between US and Russia on ending the war, the US President told Ukraine: “You should have never started it, you could have made a deal … I could have made a deal that would have given them almost all of the land.”
Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 after issuing demands that it should never join the NATO alliance, starting a war that has caused hundreds of thousands of military and civilian casualties.
Mr Trump comments came after senior US and Russian diplomats met in Saudi Arabia for the first time in many years, to discuss ending the war. Ukraine and European nations were not represented at the talks. The US and Russia agreed to press ahead with negotiations to end the conflict.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said efforts to end the war must be "fair" and involve European countries including Turkey.

BBC News Video: Investigators look into cause of Toronto Delta plane crash | BBC News
Investigators are looking into what made a Delta plane crash land and flip over at Toronto's Pearson Airport on Monday, an incident all 80 people on board survived.
Airport CEO Deborah Flint said investigators will be reviewing the aircraft on the runway for the next 48 hours, adding that this was "not the time" to speculate on the cause of the crash.
The Delta Air Lines flight from Minneapolis skidded along the runway with flames visible before it came to a halt upside down.
Twenty-one people were injured, of which 19 have been released from the hospital, authorities said on Tuesday. The two patients do not face life-threatening injuries.

The Ukrainian military released this footage of a disastrous Russian assault in Kursk, a region inside Russia that has been partially held by Ukraine since August 2024.
Russian armoured vehicles flying the red flag of the defunct Soviet Union rolled through a Ukrainian minefield before being targeted from above by drones.
Soldiers of the ‘elite’ Russian 155th Naval Infantry Brigade marines were attacking a defensive line held by the Ukrainian 47th Mechanized Brigade.
After a Russian counterattack ramped up inside Kursk oblast in November 2024, Ukrainian troops have retained most of the 250-square-mile salient and will hope to use occupied Russian territory as a bargaining chip in any peace talks.
Elsewhere on the frontline of the conflict, Russia is making slow but costly gains.
Video posted by the Ukrainian 110th Mechanized Brigade shows another Russian attack destroyed in Donetsk.
While another clip supposedly posted by a Russian soldier shows a road in the same region littered with destroyed Russian military vehicles.
Both sides will hope to make gains that will put them in a strong negotiating position.
US and Russian officials are meeting in Saudi Arabia to discuss a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, but Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he would "never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never.”

ODN Video: Raw Drone Footage Shows Destruction of Northern Gaza Strip
Drone footage reveals the staggering devastation in northern Gaza after 500 days of conflict. Captured over Jabaliya, the aerial images show entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble, with makeshift tents scattered among the ruins. Survivors walk through the destruction, searching for remnants of their lives.
This grim milestone marks 500 days since the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on southern Israel, which triggered one of the most devastating wars in recent history. The fighting displaced 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million residents at its peak. Although a fragile ceasefire has held for nearly a month, hundreds of thousands have returned to find their homes obliterated, human remains buried beneath debris, and unexploded ordnance posing constant danger.
The war has claimed over 48,000 Palestinian lives—predominantly women and children—according to Gaza's Health Ministry. As families attempt to rebuild amidst unimaginable destruction, this footage underscores the immense human and physical toll of war.

International Video: M23 rebels, Congo riches and war in the DRC | Explained
M23, a Rwanda-backed armed rebel group, are fighting in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - and they’re gaining ground.
[Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe]
They made headline news early in January when they took the largest city in the east, Goma. Now, reports say their troops have entered the second-largest city in the region, Bukavu.
M23 have formed an alliance with other groups who say their ultimate goal is to topple the DRC’s President Felix Tshisekedi and rule the country.
For some, that’s cause for celebration. For others, it’s yet another brutal phase in a devastating conflict that has spanned decades.
The group says it is fighting to defend the rights of the Tutsi ethnic group - who were brutally slaughtered in the Rwandan genocide of 1994.
But the Congolese government says M23 is the puppet army of its neighbour and enemy Rwanda, sent to plunder the country’s mineral wealth.
We’re going to tell you what’s really driving today's conflict between M23 and the Congolese army and how the outcome of the war could have implications for millions of people.

A car driven by a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker ploughed into a protest by striking workers, near Munich Central Station.
28 people were hurt, including children, in the incident on Seidlstraße, which police are treating as a suspected attack.

International Video: Ukraine war: Trump works with Putin as Nato and Europe sidelined
Russia is rejoicing after President Trump ripped up three years of US policy on the war in Ukraine.
(Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
At a NATO meeting today his defence secretary denied that the concessions to Vladimir Putin he announced yesterday were a betrayal of Ukraine. Pete Hegseth said it's now up to Europe to protect itself and Ukraine from Russia.
After last night's 90 minute-long call between President Putin and President Trump, it seems both the Europeans and Kyiv may be sidelined in any peace talks over Ukraine - despite them insisting they should be involved.
