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.  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 severe 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. Repeated exposures may produce severe ulceration.  

INHALED

  If inhaled, this material can irritate the throat andlungs of some persons.  Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.  The material may produce respiratory tract irritation, and result in damage to the lung including reduced lung function.  

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.  

  Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact/absorption  and inhalation of vapour.  Systemic effects through overexposure may include headache, dizziness,  drowsiness and nausea. Central nervous system depression and kidney and  liver damage may also occur.  Methylene chloride is stored in body fat and is metabolised to carbon  monoxide, which increases and sustains carboxyhaemoglobin levels in the  blood, reducing its oxygen carrying capacity.  Exposure to high concentrations produces a feeling of excitement, unrest,  progressive collapse accompanied by stupor and periodic breathing and,  finally, coma.  CAUTION: Worker exposure by all routes should be carefully monitored and  kept to a minimum.
