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.  

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.  

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS

  Primary routes of exposure are by inhalation and skin contact.  If inhalaed, `Olefinic impurities may cause a narcotic effect or may act  as a simple asphyxiant.'  [SAX]  The paraffin gases C1-C4 are practicaly nontoxic below the lower  flammability limit, 18,000 to 50,000 ppm; above this, low to moderate  incidental effects such as CNS depression and irritation occur, but are  completely reversible upon cessation of the exposure. The C3 to iso-C5  hydrocarbons show increasing narcotic properties; branching of the chain  also enhances this effect. The C4 hydrocarbons appear to be more highly  neurotoxic than the C3 and C5 members. [Patty's]  High concentrations can have anaesthetic and asphyxiant effects. Oxygen  deficiency may occur without warning in areas where this gas may displace  air. Vapourizing liquid causes frostbite even through normal
