POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

  Although ingestion is not thought to produce harmful effects, the material may still be damaging to the health of the individual following ingestion, especially where pre-  existing organ (e.g. liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing mortality (death) rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health). Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an occupational setting however, ingestion of insignificant quantities is not thought to be cause for concern.  Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.  

EYE

  This material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.  The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.  

SKIN

  Skin contact with the material may be harmful; systemic effects may resultfollowing absorption.  This material can cause inflammation of the skin oncontact in some persons.  Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.  The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.  

INHALED

  The material is not thought to produce respiratory irritation (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless inhalation of the material, especially for prolonged periods, may produce respiratory discomfort and occasionally, distress.  Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  Primary routes of exposure are usually by inhalation and skin/eye  contact. Inhalation of high concentrations of vapour has a narcotic effect,  producing symptoms of drowsiness, headache, staggering, unconsciousness and  possibly death. The liquid has a defatting action on the skin and may cause  stinging and a burning sensation. Prolonged contact with skin may cause  mild irritation, drying, cracking or contact dermatitis may develop. The  vapour may cause mild eye irritation. Splashes may cause severe eye  irritation, possible corneal burns and eye damage. Ingestion may cause  burning of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, bleeding, central  nervous system depression. Chronic overexposure may cause central nervous  system depression, liver and kidney changes, loss of consciousness and even  death. Aspiration of vomitus can cause chemical pneumonitis. Lung  involvement is indicated by cyanosis.
