POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

SWALLOWED

  Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.  Ingestion may produce nausea, vomiting, depressed appetite, abdominal cramps,and diarrhea.  

EYE

  There is some evidence to suggest that this material can causeeye irritation and damage in some persons.  

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

  Inhalation may produce health damage*.  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.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  There has been concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations, but there is not enough data to make an assessment.  Ample evidence from experiments exists that there is a suspicionthis material directly reduces fertility.  

  Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact andinhalation of generated dusts.  Chronic carbaryl exposure may result in damage to the kidneys and nervous  system.  Chronic inhalation of dust may result in wheezing, weakness, productive  cough, limited chest expansion, scattered rales, cyanosis.
