Potential health effects
Harmful if inhaled or absorbed through skin; reduces blood’s oxygen carrying capacity. Symptoms may be delayed. May cause cancer based on animal testing. of overexposure by inhalation, ingestion, or skin absorption may include methemoglobinemia (reduction of the blood’s oxygen carrying capacity) with cyanosis (bluish discoloration), weakness, or shortness of Continued) breath; abnormal blood forming system function with anemia; or red blood cell destruction. Individuals with preexisting diseases of the cardiovascular system or bone marrow may have increased susceptibility to the toxicity of excessive exposures. The ACGIH has established Biological Exposure Indices (BEI’s) for methemoglobin inducers of 1.5% methemoglobin in blood. Carcinogenicity Information None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC NTP
