Formaldehyde absorption has been observed with the Very Large Array in both the 6 cm and 2 cm transitions towards a number of ultracompact HII regions which are embedded in the dense cores of molecular clouds. Such data have been compared with the results of radiative transfer calculations to derive the distributions of the molecular hydrogen density and of the abundance of formaldehyde relative to molecular hydrogen. Results are presented for the sources DR 21 and W 3(OH).
