Principle Routes of Exposure
Inhalation, skin or eye contact. Signs and Symptoms of This material may irritate the eyes and skin following contact. Skin Exposure: conditions ranging from localized itching to more or less widespread eczema may occur. Vapors and aerosols can irritate eyes, nose and respiratory passages. The onset of respiratory symptoms may be delayed for several hours after exposure. Severe overexposure via inhalation may lead to pulmonary edema. Although swallowing this product is unlikely a means of exposure, irritation of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach can develop following ingestion.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Individuals who are sensitized to Isocyanates and those with pre- by Exposure: existing lung diseases or conditions, including non-specific bronchial hyperactivity or asthma.
Potential chronic health
Skin sensitization and/or irritation may develop after repeated and/or prolonged contact with human skin. MDI can induce respiratory allergic sensitization with asthma-like symptoms. Symptoms include chronic cough, tightness of chest with difficulty in breathing. These symptoms may be immediate or delayed up to several hours after exposure. Carcinogenicity: The ingredients of this product are not classified as carcinogenic by ACGIH or IARC, not regulated as carcinogens by OSHA, and not listed as carcinogens by NTP. Results from a lifetime inhalation study of rats indicate that respirable polymeric MDI aerosol has tumorigenic potential. The available human evidence is inadequate to describe the carcinogenic potential of polymeric or monomeric MDI.
