text: As with formaldehyde, the potential for acetaldehyde to react with epithelial DNA (and other cellular components) in the upper respiratory tract may be dependent upon the levels of intracellular thiols (notably glutathione and cysteine), which prevent binding of acetaldehyde with critical sulphydryl groups in proteins, peptides and DNA (Cederbaum and Rubin, 1976; U.S. EPA, 1987; von Wartburg, 1987).
