Abstract Radiometric method was developed for the analysis of endogenous formaldehyde in human blood and urine using dimedone-14C reagent. The method based on that dimedone /5,5-dimethyl-cyclohexane-1, 3-dione/ can very easily condense with formaldehyde and other aldehydes. With the help of this radiometric method a sensitive technique and a more accurate evaluation have been made possible. Applying this method it could be established that the formaldehyde level in the blood varies between 0.4–0.6 μg ml−1 and in urine 2.5–4.0 μg ml−1. The error of determination and the chemical bonds of formaldehyde in the biological fluids are discussed.
