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).  The vapour and liquid both produce eye discomfort. Tearing and reddening of the eyes are symptomatic of overexposure. Higher levels of vapour are generated with increased temperature and engineering controls should be introduced when any discomfort is experienced following exposure to mists or vapour.  

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.  

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 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, possible corneal burns and eye damage. Ingestion may cause  burning of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, bleeding, central  nervous system depression, hemolysis and pulmonary damage.  Persons with pre-existing disorders may be more susceptible to the effects  of the substance.  WARNING : Aerosol containers may present additional hazards related to  pressure effects.
