Exposure may cause a serious lung disease (called bronchiolitis obliterans). The damage to the lungs can be permanent, severe and can lead to death. Individuals exposed to Acetoin who have persistent cough and/or shortness or breath should see a physician immediately and evaluated for lung disease. Employers should provide exposed employees with lung function tests and respiratory health questionnaires before beginning to work with Acetoin and at least every six months thereafter. A licensed physician should review the tests to look for decreases in lung function over time. · Information pertaining to particular dangers for man and environment
