Additional information

Overexposure to vapors may be fatal. Inhalation exposure studies have determined the rat LC50 to be 26 ppm at one hour exposure and at four hour exposure to be 8.3 ppm. The NIOSH IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) value is 2 ppm. The primary route of exposure is inhalation; acute exposure may result in lacrimation, tracheobronchitis, pneumonia, and lung injury (at 20 ppm). The low odor detection (0.03 – 0.21 ppm) and irritation threshold (0.25 - 0.5 ppm) and acutely irritating effects of acrolein usually prevent chronic toxicity effects. Splashes to the eye may result in blepharoconjunctivitis (bloodshot eyes), lid edema, fibrinous or pustular discharge, and deep or long-lasting corneal injury. See Section 11 for additional information.
