For decades, formaldehyde fumigation has been the most reliable technique for sterilising areas which are required to be microbiologically clean. 

Method- Electric Boiler Fumigation Technique 

For Each 1000 cubic feet, 500 ml of formaldehyde (40% solution) is added in 1000 ml of purified water (if not available use tap water) in an electric boiler. After the boiler is switched on one should move outside the Operation theatre and shut the door.  The boiler should be turned off without entering the room after 45 minutes (the exact time will depend on the volume in the heating device and how well it heats the space). 

Precaution

Formaldehyde is irritating to the eyes and nose and has been identified as a potential carcinogen, thus it is important to take the necessary precautions by wearing a cap, mask, foot cover. Hence, personal protective equipment (PPE) must be given to the fumigator. It is necessary to put a warning sign stating that a fumigation is taking place on the front door of the Operation theatre.

• It can reach the areas where other chemicals cannot.
