formaldehido, not formol


Explanation:
Strictly speaking, formaldehyde is a colorless, pungent, irritant gas (HCOH) and should be translated as formaldehido.
Formol is an aqueous solution of stabilized formaldehyde (37% formaldehyde and approx. 1% metanol). Also called formalin
See Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary.

FORMALDEHÍDO


Explanation:
It is a desinfecting gas and its aqueous solution is known as "FORMOL". So, don´t get confussed: FORMALDEHIDO IS NOT THE SAME AS FORMOL.

Besides, I have met this term FORMALDEHÍDO in Spanish thousands of times.
