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

  Although the material is not thought to be an irritant, direct contact with the eye may produce transient discomfort characterized by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn).  

SKIN

  The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.  Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.  

INHALED

  The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.  WARNING: Intentional misuse by concentrating/inhaling contents may be lethal.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  Principal routes of exposure are usually by inhalation of spray  mist/vapour and skin/eye contact. Acute symptoms of vapour inhalation  include headaches, dizziness, loss of co-ordination, drowsiness, nausea,  central nervous system depression and possible unconsciousness.  A small but definite risk of occupational skin cancer shows in workers exposed  to persistent skin contamination by mineral oils over a number of years.  Carcinogenicity relates to the P.N.A (P.A.H) content.  Ingestion of the liquid may cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea. Aspiration  of vomitus may cause chemical pneumonitis.  WARNING : Mineral oils have been classified by IARC as Group 1 - CARCINOGENIC  TO HUMANS and Group 3 - not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to  humans [RTECS 1987]. Use strict occupational hygiene practices to avoid all  personal contact.  WARNING: Aerosol containers may present additional hazards related to  pressure effects.                  [ADG Code]
