Potential health effects

Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation. Vapor or mist may cause eye irritation. Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may cause skin irritation with local redness. Skin Absorption: Repeated skin contact may result in absorption of harmful amounts. Excessive exposure may cause hemolysis, thereby impairing the blood's ability to transport oxygen. Inhalation: Vapor concentrations are attainable which could be hazardous on single exposure. Intentional misuse by concentrating and inhaling vapors may be harmful or fatal. Excessive exposure to solvent(s) may cause respiratory irritation and central nervous system depression. Symptoms may include headache, dizziness and drowsiness, progressing to incoordination and unconsciousness. Symptoms of excessive exposure may be anesthetic or narcotic effects; dizziness and drowsiness may be observed. Excessive exposure may increase sensitivity to epinephrine and increase myocardial irritability (irregular heartbeats). Ingestion: Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts.

Aspiration hazard

Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard Effects of Repeated Exposure: Contains component(s) which have been reported to cause effects on the following organs in animals: Blood. Kidney. Liver.

Cancer information

In long-term animal studies with ethylene glycol butyl ether, small but statistically significant increases in tumors were observed in mice but not rats. The effects are not believed to be relevant to humans. If the material is handled in accordance with proper industrial handling procedures, exposures should not pose a carcinogenic risk to man. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects: Contains component(s) which did not cause birth defects in animals; other fetal effects occurred only at doses toxic to the mother. Reproductive Effects: In animal studies on component(s), effects on reproduction were seen only at doses that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals.
