English-Finnish translations for formaldehyde

• formaldehydi
  Sama pätee myös kemiallisten kaavojen merkitsemiseen. Keskivertokuluttaja ei ymmärrä niitä, ja usein olisi mielekkäämpää käyttää korvaavaa nimikettä, kuten formaldehydi. The same applies to listing the chemical formulas, which the normal consumer cannot understand and where giving the more general name - for instance formaldehyde - would be more sensible.
