This article used the MTT method and the single cell gel electrophoresis to study the transformation of formaldehyde in Hela cells and the comparison of methanol, formaldehyde, formic acid, acetaldehyde effected on Hela cells. The experiment used 125 umol/L concentration of these four materials to poison hela cells for an hour. The results of MTT showed that the toxicity of these four substances on the activity of hela cells in decreasing was formaldehyde, formic acid, methanol, acetaldehyde. And from the single cell gel electrophoresis we could know that DNA damage of these four substances in creasing was formaldehyde, formic acid, methanol, acetaldehyde.
